Celebrities Who Have Talked About How They Smoke Weed, and Why

Lady Gaga has said smoking weed helps manage the physical and emotional stress of stardom.

In her 2017 Netflix documentary, "Gaga: Five Foot Two," Lady Gaga said marijuana helps her manage the chronic pain she experiences from fibromyalgia — a muscular disorder that can lead to pain, fatigue, and mood issues.

She said that it helps her cope with the stress that can come with a life in the spotlight, too.

According to Lifeline Live, on a 2011 episode of "60 Minutes," she said that she also smokes weed when she writes music to help stimulate her creative process.  

"I smoke a lot of pot when I write music. So I'm not gonna, like, sugar coat it for '60 Minutes' that, you know, I'm some, like, sober human being 'cause I'm not," she said.

But according to People, Gaga mentioned in a 2013 radio interview that the pressure to constantly create great music led her to rely on weed a little too much. She said that, at one point in her life, she was addicted to marijuana.

"I was living on a totally other psychedelic plane, 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 very depressed all the time and not really sure why," she said.
