British singer George Michael is trying to reduce his consumption of marijuana, the pop star has told the BBC. "I'm constantly trying to smoke less marijuana. I'd like to take less and to a degree it's a problem," Michael told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs programme.
"Is it a problem in my life? Is it getting in the way of my life? I really don't think," added Michael.
Previously Michael, who has sold more than 85 million records, has admitted to a dependency on prescription drugs and has called marijuana much less harmful than alcohol.
In June the 44-year-old Michael was banned from driving for two years and sentenced to 100 hours of community service after admitting driving when unfit due to drugs.
