Mia Tyler's mum let her eat cannabis seeds when she was eight!

Washington, Aug 27 : Mia Tyler, the daughter of Aerosmith lead singer, Steven Tyler, was 'fed' cannabis seeds by her mother when she was just eight years old.

The plus-sized model and daughter of late actress Cyrinda Fox claims the incident kickstarted years of drug abuse.

She says of her childhood, "It was challenging. I grew up real fast. I saw things I might not normally see."

"There were pot seeds around and I would pick them up. My mom thought it was funny if I ate them," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

But Tyler, 29, whose half-sister is actress Liv Tyler, insists her experiments with drugs and self-harming are behind her now.

She added, "I lead a hard life early on so i can lead an early life now."
