Robbie Williams Faces Criticism For Calling Marijuana Drug ‘Lovely’ Robbie Williams |
British pop star Robbie Williams has come under fire from anti-drugs campaigners for championing marijuana as a "lovely" drug.
The ‘Feel’ hitmaker, who has struggled with substance abuse problems in the past, admitted he gained several pounds while smoking cannabis but branded the drug ‘lovely’.
"Weed, it's 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 the weed, because I did love it," Robbie Williams said.
Anti-drugs activist Debra Bell took exception to the remarks and insisted that the singer's comments are irresponsible.
Debra Bell said, "Does he really know what he's saying? This drug causes huge damage to children and their families."
