Travis Barker and Tom DeLonge say they once became so high during a Cypress Hill performance that they wanted to go home. In recounting the experience, Barker describes how the songs seemed to drag on for a very long time, contributing to their desire to leave.

Both outlets frame the story as a retrospective comment on their substance-use preferences around live performances. Barker is quoted as saying that “smoking before shows is not my thing,” using the incident as an example of why he avoids that approach. The accounts focus on the duration of the set and how the altered experience affected their perception of the show, rather than offering additional details such as the specific date, venue, or circumstances of their use. Overall, the coverage presents the episode as a cautionary anecdote about pre-show decisions and their impact on attending concerts.
