Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears has insisted that cannabis and magic mushrooms can be beneficial.

The singer refused to advocate use of cocaine and heroin, but claimed that some other drugs are "natural" and "good for you".

"There are things like cocaine and heroin I wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole. Then you have drugs like cannabis and mushrooms that are natural," Shears told WENN.

"They're good for you in a way, if you take them in moderation. It's really a shame mushrooms are illegal [in most places] now. There was that loophole for a while."
