George Michael: Everybody Should Smoke Weed

In a bizarre interview with Parkinson, former Wham! frontman George Michael admitted to being addicted to prescription drugs, as well as announcing that he believes everyone should smoke weed.
On the show, George explained that is often crazy behaviour is an “attention-seeking and ’self-destructive’ impulse brought on by the death of his mother a decade ago.” (Of course it is… because obviously, those prescription drugs don’t affect him in any way!)
When Parkinson brought up the subject of his impending legal case after being found slumped at the wheel of his vehicle in London, Michael replied: “It involves prescribed drugs and it involves a dependency on them and the tendency to chase one drug with another because of side effects.”
Michael added that he wasn’t at liberty to elaborate further on the matter, as the legal proceedings are still in motion. The loopy singer is set to appear in court on May 30.
The story continues after the jump!
After admitting to being addicted to drugs, Michael then went on to praised the benefits of smoking weed, despite the fact that many doctors believe it has a definite link with mental instability.
“We could sit here with any number of policemen and doctors and they would all tell you if everybody who had a dependence on alcohol changed their mind and had a dependence on weed, the world would be a much easier place to live in,” Michael said.
If everyone smoking weed means that we’d have a world full of crazy George-Michael-like people, than I think I’ll pass, thanks…
