Sit down, America; this may come as a shock. Sometimes Lady Gaga, among other people in the entertainment industry, gets high. I know, you think you know -- you've heard about that Charlie Sheen and that Lindsay Lohan and their arrests and their rehabs and E! True Hollywood Stories. But get this: Sometimes famous people just smoke a little weed and they don't even develop a substance abuse problem or go to jail. Crazier still, this happens all the time to regular folks as well.

Maybe this isn't revelatory to you, Cheech. The history of pop culture is infused with the herbal aroma of the "Harold and Kumar" franchise, certain green-themed Showtime series, and the Black Crowes' set list. Actor Jack Black has admitted to "an occasional celebratory jay," while Sarah Silverman says, "I have contempt for pretty much every drug other than pot." And Woody Harrelson and Snoop Dogg have practically made second careers of their enthusiasm for it, predilections slyly referenced in such mainstream venues as Martha Stewart's show.
