Picture: Odd Anderson Source: AFP LADY Gaga says she is currently the most sober she has been in five years, having reduced her 15-joints-a-day habit. In an interview with a English magazine, the singer admitted to a serious marijuana addiction, the New York Daily News reports. Gaga's marijuana use increased exponentially earlier this year when she used it therapeutically after breaking her hip. "It was a habit that eventually occurred when the pain got so bad with the hip," she told the UK Sun newspaper. "I would break the habit and it would sneak back in, and I would break it and sneak back in," the star said. She attributes the intense pressure of sexism in the music industry in part for her drug use. "I went through terrible experiences early in my career climbing through swine and swine of men in the music industry," she said. Life has not been very smooth sailing lately for the megastar. She was reportedly dumped by boyfriend Taylor Kinney and an X Factor performance last month was panned. But things are looking up with the release of her new album Artpop this weekend. Lady Gaga says her drug use was fuelled by the intense pressure of sexism in the music industry. Picture: Scott Gries
