Lady Gaga has revealed that she was smoking 15-20 marijuana cigarettes a day with no tobacco and has been addicted to various things since a young age.
The 'Applause' hitmaker said that her smoking habit was partly a way to help numb the pain of her hip injury, which forced her to cancel the remainder of her Born This Way Ball tour, the Mirror reported.
Gaga said that she has been addicted to it and it's ultimately related to anxiety coping and it's a form of self-medication.
She said that she was living on a totally other psychedelic plane, numbing herself completely, and looking back she does see now that some of it had to do with her hip pain.
The singer, who recently debuted the first ever flying dress, also went on to say she's suffered from a long history of addiction.
She said that she's been addicted to various things since she was young, and most heavily over the past seven years.
The popstar mentioned that she lily pads from substance to substance, a term which her friend gave her, because she gets to a point where she can't go any further with one substance, so she moves to another.
