Williams: 'Marijuana is a lovely drug'

Robbie Williams has described marijuana as a "lovely drug", but insisted that he no longer smokes it.

The former Take That popstar, 36, claimed that the drug did not "mix well" with him psychologically.

Speaking to the Radio Times, he said: "Did you see me last year? Have a look at last year. Yep. Year of the Munchie 2009.

"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! Seriously. The caffeine in that's enough. Yeah. A cup of tea will make me feel like s**t."

He continued: "But it's just a shame about weed, because I did love it."

When asked about his last spell in rehab in 2007, where he was treated for his addiction to prescription drugs, the singer added: "I was dying. I got to the point where I really, genuinely didn't care. I'd just got fat and depressed before. Then this one was like, 'you might die'."
