While playing Valorant, the 100 Thieves co-owner's eye caught a message from a fan asking if she had ever smoked marijuana. The online starlet confirmed she used to smoke in the past and started the conversation by gleefully mentioning:

"Yeah, back in my day. We used to grow a couple of plants. I was a mega stoner, man! It was a very long time ago. A couple? Yeah, just a couple."

Some fans did not believe the internet sensation's claims and asked if she was referring to smoking in Grand Theft Auto 5. She replied:

"Nope, not in GTA, in IRL, real life."

Rachell's stated that she quit smoking the substance a long time ago and spoke a bit about her health condition:

"To be fair, okay, listen. Marijuana was illegal in Washington State way before everywhere else, and umm, I had my medication card because I had a pinched nerve where my scoliosis is. But I quit a long, long time ago."

Valkyrae continued:

"I was never high at work or school, ever! I had too much anxiety to do that. I don't know how people do that. It's ridiculous!"

Some viewers inquired as to why the content creator stopped smoking marijuana, and she provided the following reason:

"I quit because, at the time, I didn't like how lazy it made me. I also got the munchies, like, crazy! I would eat everything and anything to the point where my stomach was bursting. It was expensive too at the time, and also, it just clashed with what I was trying to do with my life. I wanted to be more driven and focused on work."

The conversation on the subject came to a close when Valkyrae stated that it was not hard for her to quit and said:

"And also, it got to the point where I would get high, it would be like a 50-50 chance where I would have a lot of anxiety, or would be really nice, and I didn't like the chance of it being anxiety. You know what I mean? Sometimes I would just have really bad trips, so I just like, I quit. I cold turkey, just quit. It wasn't even hard to quit."
