Ellen DeGeneres, under mounting pressure from her enormous fan base, finally answered whether or not she smokes cannabis on The Ellen Show. Despite selling cannabis-friendly merchandise, and capitalizing on the 4/20 holiday, she doesn’t currently smoke—although she praised one of her writers who does indeed smoke cannabis.

DeGeneres had enough of the speculation surrounding her purported cannabis consumption. “I want to show you a video someone showed me,” Ellen said on The Ellen Show. “They were confused. I was confused.  This is the title of the video they stumbled upon: ‘Does Ellen Smoke Weed?’ Apparently the pro-marijuana website [Civilized] put this video up using things that I’ve said on the show to figure out if I smoke weed.”

Before she answered the question, DeGeneres ran Civilized’s video clip to go through the supporting evidence. “Their first piece of evidence,” she said, “is that I sold merchandise to marijuana users on 4/20. That does not make me a smoker, it makes me a smart business lady. You are never too high to buy Ellen underwear.”

“I do not smoke weed,” DeGeneres finally confirmed, “But I do have a writer who works for me and he does. My writer’s name is Gil.” Ellen then showed her favorite clip of her writer, whom she clearly doesn’t care if he smokes cannabis or not. One of DeGeneres’ shows featured a clip where she hilariously renamed children’s books with cannabis-friendly names like “The Very Very Very Very Very Hungry Caterpillar.”

If DeGeneres doesn’t smoke cannabis, she sure has cannabis consumers fooled, given her constant support. “Happy 420, everybody,” DeGeneres tweeted last April. DeGeneres also  follows cannabis sales in the United States, apparently. “U.S. marijuana sales might top $2.3 billion this year. I’m not saying I support it. I’m just saying it’s now available in the Ellen Shop,” DeGeneres tweeted in 2014. Hopefully her fans are finally at ease now that they know about her cannabis consumption.
