GEORGE MICHAEL STRUGGLES WITH MARIJUANA 'PROBLEM'

British pop star GEORGE MICHAEL is struggling to cut down on his marijuana use, admitting it has become "a problem".

The Fast Love singer, 44, has previously denied having a drug problem, despite being twice arrested for alleged marijuana possession in 2006.

Following his most recent arrest, in October (06), he said: "That's the second time in a year I've been caught with one unused spliff in the car. I had no drink or drugs in my body. I haven't got a problem with drugs."

But the former Wham! frontman has now confessed his heavy use of cannabis is becoming an issue.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs show, he says, "Absolutely I would like to take less, no question. To that degree, it's a problem."

But he also defended his habit, adding, "(But it's) not getting in the way of my life in any way.

"I'm a happy man and I can afford my marijuana so that's not a problem."
