Enrique Iglesias: I took cannabis to improve my music

But singer says it didn't work

Enrique Inglesias didn't enjoy his experiment with grass

Enrique Iglesias has revealed that he’s tried cannabis.

The singer, who released his first album at the age of 21, was hoping for inspiration.

'I have taken grass, hoping I would write better music,’ says Enrique. ‘But it made my writing worse and I felt terrible and paranoid.’

But Enrique, now 34, insists he's not interested in trying Class A substances. 

‘I've never taken hard drugs because I am scared of getting hooked on things,' he tells the Daily Mail.

‘I know about addictions because I have to take sleeping pills and often I don’t even sleep after taking them.

‘So I take more and more and I lie awake and then I have to get up with a horrible sleeping pill hangover.’
