Robbie Williams angers drug campaigners by calling cannabis a ‘lovely drug’
Robbie Williams has described cannabis as a “lovely drug”, sparking fury among campaigners.
The singer, who has battled addiction and depression, admitted the drug made his weight balloon and affected his mental wellbeing.
But he added: “Weed, it’s such a lovely drug. It is such a lovely drug. But it doesn’t mix well with me at all.
“It doesn’t take much to trigger – I mean, I’ll get psychosis from having this cup of tea! Seriously. The caffeine in that’s enough “But it’s just a shame about weed, because I did love it.”
Robbie, 36, also told the Radio Times he got so fat and depressed before a spell in rehab he felt ready to die.
His comments were last night condemned by Debra Bell, who wrote a book about the devastating effects of her son’s cannabis use.
She blasted: “Does he really know what he’s saying? This drug causes huge damage to children and their families.”

See people, even entertainers smoke cannabis!
Comm. Harry Anslinger (1930s) testified that ‘marijuana’ smoking was associated with : “Negroes, Mexicans & ENTERTAINERS !! It seems that these attitudes may still remain ?
Kiaora
I am none of the above, but I smoke bud!
Hmmmm…. maybe blaming/glorifying pot is stupid. There are so many contributing factors. Like Paul Holmes and Millie….maybe she is a victim of bad parenting and an alcoholic father???
Very convenient to blame a substance, they dont talk back…. what about all those who function well with pot?
Substance abuse is used as an excuse by parents and authority as a scapegoat for underlying issues.
