Next up, Lady Gaga insists that she personally owes a huge debt of gratitude to marijuana for helping her write music and become the superstar pop icon she is.  However, back in 2013 she was supposed to take an extended break after undergoing hip surgery, but insisted on carrying on with a rather intensive tour instead. Wonderful commitment to her fans no doubt and a decision which was apparently only made possible by regularly smoking marijuana. And a seriously huge amount of marijuana, at that.

 “I was just numbing, numbing, numbing myself and then sleeping it off and then getting on stage, killing it in pain, then getting off and smoking, smoking, smoking, not knowing what the pain was. It’s a form of self-medication and I was smoking up to 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco… 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.” – Lady Gaga.
