People take drugs to feel closer to God: Madonna

Madonna has revealed she thinks people take drugs to get closer to God and admitted that she herself tried most narcotics but didn’t enjoy their side effects.

The 56-year-old star believes people take drugs in a bid to feel closer to God and claims she’s tried them all at one stage or another during her life.

She said: ”It’s about how people take drugs to connect to God or a higher level of consciousness. I keep saying, ‘Plugging into the matrix’. If you get high, you can do that, which is why a lot of people drop acid or do drugs, because they want to get closer to God.

”But there’s going to be a short circuit, and that’s the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you.”

The Like A Virgin singer confessed, however, that she didn’t enjoy the effects of most narcotics and instantly regretted her actions once they entered her blood stream.

She continued: ”I mean, I tried everything once, but as soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system. I was like, ‘Okay, I’m done now’.”

The blonde beauty also touched on her feelings about dying and revealed she constantly tries to live life to the fullest. Speaking to magician David Blaine for Interview magazine, she added: ”I became obsessed with death, and the idea that you never know when death will arrive, so one has to do as much as possible all the time to get the most out of life.” BangShowBiz.com
