Ana Maria Braga, finally, explains the controversy over her admission to smoking marijuana on Globonews

This Thursday, the 25th, the presenter Ana Maria Braga took advantage of the correspondent’s participation Guga Chakra in the program More you to clarify a controversial speech that went viral in March 2024. During a visit to the editorial office of GlobeNews In New York, on vacation, Ana Maria had implied that she had been smoking marijuana for years, but in reality she was referring to cigarettes.

The incident occurred when Ana Maria briefly participated in the program GloboNews, more next to Chakra. He commented on the smell of marijuana prevalent on the East and West coasts of the United States, mentioning that the smell was noticeable in New York.

“I traveled up the West Coast, then I got to the East Coast, and the only smell I could smell from there to here was marijuana,” she said. She also commented that she expected to smell the smell of burning chestnuts, common in the city’s winter, but was surprised by the smell of marijuana everywhere.

The controversy arose when Guga Chacra claimed that people in New York smoke more marijuana than cigarettes. In response, Ana Maria said: “Much more, it’s an imposing smell. It’s something that makes you feel a little dizzy. I don’t feel good with marijuana, I’m not a consumer. I smoked it for many years.” The final sentence was interpreted as a confession that the presenter had been a drug addict, which generated a great backlash on social media.

In this Thursday’s program, Ana Maria Braga clarified that her speech was misinterpreted. “When I said: ‘I also smoke’, at the end of that conversation, I smoked. But what I smoked were cigarettes! And then, they realized that I smoked marijuana. I talked about marijuana, we talked about the smell … Then I became famous, I became a registered stoner after that interview,” she said laughing.
