Lady Gaga Says She Was Addicted to Marijuana for Years
UPI ^ | Nov. 11, 2013

U.S. pop star Lady Gaga admitted on radio's "Elvis Duran and the Z100 Morning Show" she was addicted to marijuana for years. "I just want young kids to know that you actually can become addicted to it," she said on Monday's edition of the popular radio program.

"I have been addicted to it and it's ultimately related to anxiety-coping and it's a form of self medication and I was smoking up to 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco," she recalled. "I was living on a totally other psychedelic plain, numbing myself completely and, looking back, I do see now that some of it had to do with my hip pain. I didn't know where the pain was coming from, so I was just in a lot of pain and really depressed all the time and not really sure why."

The 27-year-old singer said she got to a point where she knew she "had to stop" because she was jeopardizing her health.

"You can fight. I do put that pressure on myself; I have to be high to be creative. I need that, that's an error in my life that happened for over 10 years," she said. "Can I be brilliant without it? I know that I can be and I have to be because I want to live, and I want my fans to want to live. I don't want them to torture themselves in the way I have. I want to show people that I will last past 27 and I will last longer, and so will you. I want to change this code in the atmosphere that in order to be remembered, I must die young. In order to be remembered as a legend, I must be dead first. This is unhealthy. The way that we [celebrities] are treated by the media, this is unhealthy. Not just me, I am just one of many people that are treated poorly by the media."

I hear you need to be stoned just to tolerate her music.

Since she can afford good quality weed, that is a mind-numbing (pun intended) amount to smoke! Just sayin'.

We all know she is heroin now since pot is the gateway drug . . .

“I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . But never at dusk! Never at dusk, I would never do that.” - Steve Martin

She better tell Miley....

Seems to me you’d need something a lot stronger than pot to make her music sound good (or her to look good).

I smoke two joints in the morning,
I smoke two joints at night,
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more...

I bet she made herself bipolar with all that pot.
