Lenny Kravitz: I smoked pot with Jagger

ZAGREB, Croatia, June 14 (UPI) -- U.S. rocker Lenny Kravitz says he kept the remains of a marijuana cigarette he once smoked with Mick Jagger out of respect for the British rocker.

Kravitz, on tour in Croatia, said he deemed it a great privilege when the leader of the Rolling Stones offered to share some pot with him, Gloria magazine reported.

"We were performing on the same stage once, and he invited me to go to his place afterwards," Kravitz said. "We talked the entire night and smoked marijuana. We shared a joint, and I kept the rest of it for almost a year. It was a sign of respect."

As a result, Kravitz kept the butt of the joint as a tribute for 12 months, after which he decided to smoke the rest of it.

"At one point I had no grass at home," he said, "so I smoked the rest of the joint I shared with Jagger."
