Lady Gaga Adds Marijuana To Her List of Causes

It may be easy to mock high profile entertainers and actors when they decide to take a public stand.  Sometimes stars have been known to get themselves in over their heads when engaging on social issues.  The most recent case and point may be Clint Eastwood’s debate with a chair that should have been a far easier conversation for “Dirty Harry” to win.  However, there are times where stars use their notoriety push issues forward.

Marijuana has caused many famous individuals to come out of the shadows.  It appears Lady Gaga will be joining this group.  The famous pop star has traveled the world performing songs such as “Born This Way” and come across many different cultures.  She seemed to be embracing Amsterdam’s culture in a recent tour stop.  She was handed a joint on stage and lit up saying “I want you to know it has totally changed my life and I’ve really cut down on drinking.  “It has been a totally spiritual experience for me with my music.”

Lady Gaga has an extremely loyal and engaged fan base worldwide.  This is not to say fans will start smoking marijuana around the world but many may be encouraged to get the real facts on marijuana.  Additionally Lady Gaga has a history of caring about social causes.  In order to protest the military’s “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy (President Obama has ended the controversial policy) Lady Gaga donned the now famous “meat dress” at the 2010 MTV Music Awards.  She has also donated large sums of money to many charities has also created The Born This Way Foundation, which according to the foundation website, was designed “to foster a more accepting society, where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated. The Foundation is dedicated to creating a safe community that helps connect young people with the skills and opportunities they need to build a kinder, braver world.”

This is not to say that Lady Gaga or any entertainer can bring about marijuana reform alone.  However, the chorus of those who support reform is growing louder.  The issue has built up momentum and supporting marijuana in public is no longer a scarlet letter.  Normally we see a wedge between entertainers and the working class, however, as marijuana gains acceptance we may bear witness to one of the few times where the two are aligned.
