John Mayer 'quits smoking weed'

John Mayer has revealed that he has stopped smoking marijuana.

The singer-songwriter announced his decision to stop using the drug on his Twitter profile.

Mayer wrote: "I don't smoke pot anymore. I just pay a dude 50 bucks to come over, press lightly on my chest and tell me all my ideas are awesome.

"Any time I feel like smoking pot I just book myself a life insurance exam."

Mayer was the subject of a recent Twitter post from Lily Allen, who said that she thought she was "in love" with the musician after watching a DVD of his live show.
