The comments come after Winehouse and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, were arrested and fined in Bergen, Norway last week after being found in possession of marijuana.
The friend told the Sun: “We were chuffed when she was caught with cannabis, everyone used to worry about her cannabis habit, but now we look back at those days fondly.
They added: “We have been telling her to quit the hard stuff and get back on the weed.”
Despite her arrest, Winehouse’s European tour continued over the weekend with two shows in Bergen and Oslo.
