Alanis Morissette smokes pot and refers to it as medical marijuana. The marijuana plant is used for medical purposes in 13 of the United States as reported at NORML. Marijuana has been known to treat such diseases as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, Crohn's Disease and pain, among other ailments. Harder drugs, like morphine, are also used for medical purposes. However, when a celebrity admits that they use harder drugs, they are either considered a drug addict in need of help, or they are in need of a drug intervention. Celebrities such as Whitney Houston have used both marijuana and harder drugs. The singer was caught at the airport with marijuana on her possession earlier in the decade, but she didn't face harsh scrutiny until her crack cocaine use was revealed. If Alanis Morissette smokes pot, fans can see that she is not on the verge of collapsing. In fact, given the fact that she is now an avid runner, fans can see that she looks healthier now than she has ever looked. - Yahoo
