Paolo Nutini has revealed that he has smoked weed every day since he was 16.
Speaking to Q magazine, the Scottish musician admitted he is rather partial to a bit of marijuana, and called on the world to "get to grips" with the drug and get the hell over it, for god's sake.
Asked if he has ever smoked weed, Nutini replied: "Every day since I was about 16, it just keeps you going."
The 27-year-old singer then added: "Can the world please get to grips with marijuana? How long can this go on? Don't get me wrong, give it to the wrong person, marijuana can spawn all kinds of things, but no more than alcohol. Come on, people have been saying this for 40 years."

Nutini also defended One Direction over the recent footage of two of its members apparently smoking a joint. "One Direction can't have a joint? they're bad role models? Come on," said Nutini. "They're men now."
The 'Iron Sky' star also regaled the interviewer with a LOL-some tale of something that happened when he was stoned. "I launched into a chunky Kit-Kat and it took out a tooth," he admitted. What japes.
If you're not shocked and disgusted by Nutini's admission of mild drug use, then why not catch him on tour in November? He'll perform six UK shows, and hey, he might even light up onstage! For more information and tickets, visit Gigwise Tickets.
