Joss Stone: Opens up about marijuana use, Sparks drug controversy

Stone recently revealed to press:
On her marijuana habit:
“I smoke weed, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more of a herb. I don’t regret saying that at all. I think everyone smokes weed and people who say they don’t are lying! It depends if I’m working, and on what song. And whether it’s a smoking studio or not! It’s like having a drink.”
On weed’s “evil stamp”:
“Weed has been given this evil stamp, but how is it dangerous? It’s going to make you laugh your arse off? You might go to sleep? I think alcohol is much more harmful. People beat the f*ck out of each other on alcohol. But I don’t smoke weed all day long.”
On other drugs:
“I live in Devon (England) and hardly ever go to clubs. When I do, I’ll drink three or four beers then move on to a vodka. I don’t want to take all those horrible drugs. Although some sound fun, so I might dabble now and then!”
David Raynes, the head of Britain’s National Drugs Prevention Alliance, replied to Stone’s remarks by saying:
“She should consider the effects that her comments have on other people, especially young fans who look up to her. People like Joss Stone should keep their mouths shut about things like this.”
