My children have a very clear understanding of cannabis, when I hold it without shame or confusion, then they can understand it as simple as if I was pointing to a bottle of Percocet and said, ‘That’s Mama’s medicine.’ You take the naughtiness out of it, and it’s not something that kids run to.

When you realize that we're the spirit that's in our bodies and our bodies are like the vehicles that take us around, you realize that you have to take care of that body.

What I do believe in is other worlds and spirits. There is some other power in control - levels of energy that perhaps we don't see.

I tell people that anything that could ever happen to you on stage has happened to me. My clothes have fallen off. I've fallen off the stage. I've gotten sick - anything.

Video is a funny thing. It's one thing to be an artist, singer-songwriter, and use words and create pictures in people's minds. And then be asked to do video for it, to actually give a certain visual for your song.

It was tough being a single mom. It was tough being in a divorce... by Melissa Etheridge

It was tough being a single mom. It was tough being in a divorce with children. Very, very hard.

I asked many of my friends [who had gone through chemo], 'What's the experience? What are you doing?,' and my friend David Crosby, he was the first one who said, 'You know, Melissa, you have to do medicinal marijuana. You have to [try] cannabis. That's the way to do it. It's too hard otherwise.

Melissa Etheridge

When I used it as medicine, it became so clear to me that it has been maligned and misunderstood, and I really wanted to help people who are suffering, i mean, going through chemotherapy is suffering... and cannabis helps so many parts of just that.

Melissa Etheridge

I treat it just as any other medicine in the house, just as a bottle of vodka would be, you know, 'This is for Mom; you don't [try] this, when you're grownups you can deal with that.'.

There are certain strains [of weed] -- you get a nice indica on a Friday night when it's date night, and it takes down your inhibitions, your sexual desires are enhanced. I recommend this for relationships.

Melissa Etheridge

I have smoked with my older two, it was funny at first, and then they realized, it’s a very natural, end-of-the-day [thing] … And it brings you much closer. I’d much rather have a smoke with my grown kids than a drink — oh, God, no.

Melissa Etheridge

Cannabis is the best marital aid, when it’s date night … It takes down your inhibition; your sexual desires are enhanced. We take a bath every night and smoke and talk and wind down and sleep a very, very good night sleep — and sleep is extremely important.

Melissa Etheridge

There’s a way to be. I’ve gone through family courts, i’ve been twice around this block, and I know it really well, and I know when there’s some forethought to just how mean [ you can be ] and just how you’re going to put disinformation out there first.

Melissa Etheridge

It breaks my heart that anyone would take something as personal as your marriage and your relationship and your rights to your children and do it as purposefully as I see it’s being done.
