24 Aug 2010 - After his 4th of July arrest George Michael has plead guilty for driving under the influence of marijuana. “The judge at the magistrate’s court who heard the 47-year-old star’s guilty plea warned Michael he could face time in jail when he returns to be sentenced on September 14. ‘I make it clear the options in respect of sentence remain open, including the power to imprison,’ Robin McPhee told the court, according to the Press Association. ‘It is a serious matter. Your driving was extremely poor and there was an accident. There is also a conviction from three years ago.’ …The court heard how a police patrol found Michael slumped at the wheel of his Range Rover car in the early hours of July 4 after smashing into the facade of a photographic shop in Hampstead…The star was arrested and taken to Hampstead police station where he was found to be carrying cannabis cigarettes. A blood sample was taken and chemicals linked to cannabis were found in his system.”

May 2008 - The British singer George Michael is trying to reduce his consumption of marijuana, he told the BBC Radio. "I'm constantly trying to smoke less marijuana. I'd like to take less and to a degree it's a problem," he said. But he added: "Is it a problem in my life? Is it getting in the way of my life? I really don't think" it is.
November 1996 - "... I started smoking grass because it was either that or some kind medication which I didn't want to take," he says."Then when you couldn't get a joint you lit up a cigarette and that was that. It took about three years for me to become a real smoker and in the last year-and-a-half I've been trying desperately to give it up and have been failing miserably."Dope smoking seems such an unlikely pursuit for a self-confessed control freak. "I know," he laments, shaking his closely cropped head. "But, I tell you, this time last year I was a complete and utter pothead. I know it's lunacy but the horrible truth is that the grass really helped me. "
