Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) invoked pop singer Lady Gaga at a congressional hearing on Wednesday in an effort to keep kids from having a bad romance with marijuana.
During a Senate Judiciary oversight hearing on the Department of Justice, Sessions told Attorney General Eric Holder that he was appalled that President Barack Obama had recently said marijuana was no more dangerous than alcohol.

I just hope you will talk to the president youre close to him and being to pull back on this position that I think is going to adverse to the health of America.
Lady Gaga recently became a talking point for conservative pundits after she told a radio host that she was addicted to marijuana. But only a year ago, conservatives were outraged over the pop stars song Born This Way because they feared it could convince children to embrace a homosexual or transgender lifestyle for a lifetime.
