Grass
Keeps George Michael
Sane
George
Michael
spoke openly about
taking cannabis while
smoking the drug during
a television interview,
it has been
reported.
The
Daily Mirror said
Michael, 43, lit up a
joint backstage before a
concert in Madrid while
doing an interview for
ITV's the South Bank
Show.
He
told interviewer Melvyn
Bragg: "This is the only
drug I've ever thought
worth taking but you
have to wait. It never
occurred to me to take
even this until I was
about 22 or 23. This
stuff keeps me sane and
happy. I could write
without it if I were
sane and happy. I'd say
it's a great drug - but
obviously it's not very
healthy. You can't
afford to smoke it if
you've got anything to
do. Anything at all
would be
foolish."
But
he added that it could
be a "terrible, terrible
drug", saying that it
can "chill you out to
such a degree that you
could lose your
ambitions".
He
admitted dabbling in
other drugs, but added:
"There's not another
drug in life that I'm
glad I took but
grass."
And
he denied that his life
was out of control after
twice being caught
slumped at the wheel of
his car, insisting: "I
feel good. I live in the
house of my dreams, with
the man of my dreams.
I'm happy with the music
I'm making - and I'm
still loaded. I'm
enjoying my
life."
