Lady Gaga Comes Clean About Drug Addiction
NEW YORK (CBSMiami) -- Lady Gaga is opening up about a struggle with marijuana addiction.
During a radio interview with New York's Z-100, the 27-year-old pop star admitted she once smoked as many as 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day.
"I actually decided to speak about this because although I do think it is the best of the drugs to choose from in terms of when you're playing around and experimenting, I just want young kids to know that you actually can become addicted to it."
Gaga said she was self-medicating to deal with the mental and physical challenges of her career and for pain management after a hip injury that forced her to cancel a large portion of her "Born This Way" tour.
Gaga has vowed to fight her addiction and challenge herself to create music without the aid of mood-altering substances.
