"Sir Michael Caine has admitted that he was turned off drugs for life after one puff of marijuana led to a five-hour giggling fit. The actor revealed that he had tried smoking the drug in his youth but was concerned its affects on his memory would cause him to forget his lines. Contactmusic quotes the Get Carter star as saying: &amp;quot;Marijuana seemed like the most innocent of drugs, but I wanted to read about it first - I&amp;#039;m one of those guys - so I did and it said something terrifying to me: it affects your memory. I thought, &amp;#039;I can&amp;#039;t do it because I&amp;#039;ll forget my lines&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;Then one day I did smoke a marijuana cigarette and I started to laugh, and I laughed for five hours. I nearly got a hernia, so I thought, &amp;#039;Sod that&amp;#039;, and I never got started on drugs at all.&amp;quot;  Caine added: &amp;quot;I drank a lot of alcohol - that was my drug. I was never an alcoholic, but I could get drunk every now and again. You can get bombed on English beer very easily.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
