Earlier in the day the star got to visit the brand’s growing operation, showing their 114million followers into a room filled with budding plants, calling it ‘heaven.’

Lovato opened up about their current relationship with substances in the tell-all documentary Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil, admitting they’ve ‘been smoking weed and drinking in moderation.’

‘I’ve learned that it doesn’t work for me to say that I’m never going to do this again. I know I’m done with the stuff that’s going to kill me, right?’ said Lovato, who survived a near-fatal overdose of heroin and fentanyl in 2018.

‘Telling myself that I can never have a drink or smoke marijuana, I feel like that’s setting myself up for failure because I am such a black-and-white thinker.

‘I had it drilled into my head for so many years that one drink was equivalent to a crack pipe,’ the Disney Channel alum said.

They have since embraced the term ‘California sober,’ even using the phrase as the title of a track of their last album.

The lyrics allude to Demi’s approach, saying: ‘I’m California sober/ It doesn’t have to mean the growin’ part is over/ No, it ain’t black or white, it’s all of the colors.’

Lovato has stressed that there isn’t a ‘one-size-fits-all solution’ to substance abuse and that their methods might not work for others.

Talking to CBS Sunday Morning in March, they said: ‘I also don’t want people to hear that and think that they can go out and try having a drink or smoking a joint, you know?’

‘Because it isn’t for everybody. Recovery isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. 

‘You shouldn’t be forced to get sober if you’re not ready. You shouldn’t get sober for other people. You have to do it for yourself.’

‘I am cautious to say that, just like I feel the complete abstinence method isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for everybody. I don’t think that this journey of moderation is a one-size-fits-all solution for everybody, too.’
