British popstar Robbie Williams was accused of being grossly irresponsible for encouraging his young fans to try cannabis after he described the illegal drug as lovely during an interview. The controversial singer, who has battled addictions to cocaine and prescription drugs in the past, said he was still smoking the illegal substance last year and claimed it was “a shame” that it did not mix well with him, reported Daily Mail online. But charities and campaign groups have reacted with fury at his comments and claim he is effectively promoting a drug that has been linked to the development of mental illness and psychosis. The majority of the stars fans are in their teens and his new song ‘Morning Sun’ has just been selected as the official Sport Relief song, which aims to raise money for disadvantaged people, many of them affected by drug abuse.
In an interview in the Radio Times Williams said that his tendency to binge eat after smoking marijuana had caused the pounds to pile on. ”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. But its just a shame about weed, because I did love it,” the ‘Angels’ hitmaker had said.
