Joss Stone says weed is less dangerous than alcohol
British soul singer Joss Stone has been wrapped in controversy for admitting she smokes marijuana.
In an interview with Star Magazine, the singer opens up about her drug use.
"I smoke weed, but I don’t think it’s really a drug. It’s more of a herb." she says. "I don’t regret saying that at all. I think everyone smokes weed and people who say they don’t are lying!"
She continues to defend the illicit drug and says its harmless compared to alcohol.
"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--- out of each other on alcohol."
Stone's honesty isn't sitting too well with David Raynes, the head of the National Drugs Prevention Alliance who says the singer should consider her young fans when speaking out and that "people like Joss Stone should keep their mouths shut about things like this."
Or maybe parents should teach their kids not to take their favorite pop star's word as gospel.
Do you think its right for Joss Stone to talk about her drug use so explicitly or should she have kept her mouth shut?

JOSS IS RIGHT

Why are people so foolish these days to just believe the Goverment taxed approved drugs are good for you....Alcohol is just a poison it has NO value what so ever just that its taxable. Weed compare is HARMLESS, sure if you mix it with tobacco it might harm you maybe and if you smoke too much but if you drink to much water you can die also......get it.
Weed opens your mind to the bullshit that we have to put up with, its a leveler...makes you think brings out whatever you have on your mind, its not for everyone but its certainly nothing compared to drinking! Seriously how many idiots can keep up with this idea that weed is bad and drinking is ok because is sanctioned! Get a grip!

Hey "its time" for all of the millions of people that are not a part of YOUR religion, we could care less about the ASSUMED intentions of the deity you worship. That said, she is way hot, I hope she comes to my studio to record! I would love to smoke some green with her!

David Raynes is a disgraced former customs official, who cost the UK millions of pounds in a bungled cannabis bust in 1999, which explains his hate of everything cannabis.
