Lady Gaga loves pushing the envelope -- but smoking pot on stage probably isn't setting the best example for her young fans. The 26-year-old superstar appeared to light up at an Amsterdam show, telling her audience: "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," according to The Sun.

She also said she was going to talk to President Obama about legalizing marijuana, and said the drug's famous leaf symbol is the "new peace sign," according to the tabloid. "It’s like saying everybody needs to take a breath and it’s going to be OK," she explained. We're not sure the parents of her young fans would agree ...

Oh NOOO she lit A JOINT!! *gasp* How very SHAMEFUL!!

Please. She's already admitted to smoking pot. It's NOT a big deal.

If it were Meth, Heroine, or even A CIGARETTE, then I would have to say that's not the best idea.

But pot? COME ON. I'm sick of the anti-drug preachers ranting, flailing, and pointing fingers over how BAAAD pot is. The same yahoos who think wine is also bad for you; by the way, it isn't.

This is hardly anything to get your panties in a bunch over. If you want someone to point a shaming finger at, the Lindsay Lohan post is on another section of SodaHead. THERE is where y'all need to go and preach about "bad role modeling"

SMALL EDIT: After getting a chance to read it instead of breeze through it - sorry, I'm a busy chick - I saw it was in Amsterdam... so... IT. IS. AMSTERDAM. Pot is tolerated there. You're welcome.

The Beatles did more, they did weed, LSD, Cocaine and so on... The public knew about it.. Paul said 'just because we do it, doesn't mean anybody else has to' and they made great music... big deal.

As long as she wants it legalised for medicinal reasons. If smoking a relitively harmless drug is helping her cut down on alcohol then good for her. This dosn't undo the great things she's done over the last five years.

We can love them or hate them, but what is most important is that we understand that they are seeking attention. The more extreme, the more attention. Morality and self respect is soon forgotten in the search to be more 'extreme' and so we cannot look to this sort of celebrity as any sort of role model.

They are spectacles, they are living artwork, they can appear beautiful one moment and horrific in the next, but it is all facade for the best of them, they are sculptures and paintings, abstracts are not role models.

And so terribly sad if that celebrity loses the separation between their life and their performance art - if it actually does become their 'lifestyle' then they become quickly burnt out, drugged out, hollow shells of people - again that is no role model.

We CAN find goodness in some of the acts that they do - Lady Gaga did benefit concerts and auctions to raise funds to help Japan after the tsunami for example, and some people find inspiration in some of her music, some people find pleasure in her performance..

Instead of seeing the performer as role model, maybe just consider the good things they do as your inspiration for your life?

Was Gaga ever a good role model. I'm sure the "meat" attire must have inspired bologna bows for some two year old!

If we could get everyone in the world to smoke a joint at the same time there would be world peace for 2 hours. Pot has killed less people than cigs and booze. Legalize it, it would make jobs and tax it like cigs and booze and we could be debt free in a few years.

Screw it, she's not exactly role model of the year with skimpy outfits, I just happen not to give a damn about either subjects. If you try to keep your kids away from everything all the time, they will find it and do it anyway. Freedom of expression, man.

It's harmless, much safer than cigarettes or alcohol, and apparently lawful in Amsterdam. No worries, mon!
