Lady Gaga loves to smoke weed. Or at least used to. But as she recently told Attitude in an interview, it took performance artist Marina Abramovic to help Gaga kick the habit, or at least, cut down from the 15 joints a day she was smoking.
As she put it, "She [Marina] said, 'OK, you're coming to my house. No television, no computer, no marijuana, no nothing, no food. For three days, art only. You eat only art,'" Gaga said. "I cold-turkeyed. For weeks and weeks, I didn't smoke at all. And now I smoke a little bit at night, just, you know, for fun – but not to cope. That's the difference. Marina was the only person who could get me to do that, and it was not intended to be rehab."
As the ARTPOP singer explained, it started when she was trying to numb the physical pain of undergoing hip surgery earlier this year. "I was just numbing, numbing, numbing myself and then sleeping it off and then getting onstage, killing it in pain, then getting off and smoking, smoking, smoking, not knowing what the pain was."
