Lady GaGa has revealed that she gets her musical inspiration from smoking marijuana.
The
'Born This Way' singer explained that she is open and honest about using drugs.
In an interview with Anderson Cooper for
60 Minutes, she said: "I still smoke a lot of pot when I write music. So I'm not gonna, like, sugar coat it for
60 Minutes that I'm some, like, sober human being, 'cause I'm not."
Despite admitting that she uses cannabis, the 24-year-old insisted that she is not encouraging her fans to start using drugs.
She said: "I don't want to encourage kids to do drugs. But when you asked me about the sociology of fame and what artists do wrong - what artists do wrong is they lie. And I don't lie. I'm not a liar.
