Lady Gaga Says She Was Addicted to Marijuana for Years

American pop stars simply reflect the habits, values and depredations of their audiences. Decadence sells.

The greatest self promoter since P.T. Barnum!

There's a sucker born every minute.....and Gaga is proof.

“I was smoking up to 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco”

I have never heard a dope smoker call it a cigarette - normally a doobie, blunt, joint or other names.

Judging from the quotes in the article, she’s still on something, even if it’s not MJ.

[BBB333]

And not one FReeper to say: ‘Good for her!”

Odd.

If you can’t tell, I’m 100% anti marijuana.

How ‘bout you?

"Can I be brilliant without it? P>As if she was "Brilliant" with it. All she is is a Madonna rip-off.

[nickcarraway]

I agree.

Thx.

The medicinal marijuana "joints" that she was probably on look like cigarettes in appearance.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I knew somebody would post that...

[Calvin Locke]

Perhaps she could cover "Dirty Laundry" to regain her self-esteem?

I'll give her a slight break for wearing a "meat dress" amongst a bunch of "elites".

[unixfox]

At least she wasn’t smoking CIGARETTES. Now THAT would have been a crime.

I guess I’m confused. I thought a) pot isn’t addictive and b) I thought Lady Gaga was a man performing as a woman.

Well, at least the misnamed “Lady” Gaga was honest about this.

I had friends in high school in the late 60s who actually developed emphysema from smoking too much dope - not to mention memory loss and paranoia. One of my best friends, a really smart, funny girl from a great musical family who everybody expected to be the next in line, literally destroyed herself before our very eyes because she was permastoned from about the age of 15 on. And she never recovered.

Now marijuana is literally 10 times stronger. And this is what the doper generation wants to do to young people?

Well, her having been a “pot head” certainly shows, he stupidity exceeds all beliefs.

[Colonel_Flagg]

""Can I be brilliant without it?"

She wasn't exactly brilliant WITH it.

War on Brain cells.

Another MSM can get their arms around.

Stay on the Target.

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

She is actually a decent serious jazz singer, along with Amy Winehouse, who recent passed away, likely from a drug overdose. They both emulate(d) Billy Holiday, who did the same to herself in 1957. Dinah Washington was another. But then there were Ella and Sarah Vaughan, who didn't need drugs "to be creative".
