The ‘50 First Dates’ star said, "Having a 10-year-old daughter now, I just, it's unfathomable. But that's just how I grew up."

She revealed, "I used to get high with my mom's friend at like 10. And I thought she was so cool, and she would give weed to me and her son."

Barrymore, however, added, "Those were all my actions, those were my reactions. That was my coping mechanism. I'm very accountable, I don't blame other people."
