Armie Hammer is getting candid once again - and this time about his wild marijuana habits. On the July 28 episode of his Armie HammerTime podcast, the actor admitted that during his Hollywood heyday, he was smoking “upwards of, like, 15 to 20 joints a day.” His longtime friend Ashton Ramsey joked that Armie “smoked more marijuana than anyone on earth,” a claim he agreed was probably true, reported E!
