Argentinian actress Dolores Fonzi, girlfriend of Mexican actor Gael García Bernal, surprised many by speaking on her marijuana consumption habits.

Fonzi told THC magazine that she smokes marijuana since she was 20, an habit, she claims, does not interfere with her responsibilities as a mother.

"I've been smoking for 20 years. Back then I used it to open up and since that already happened, now I dosify it and use it to relax, it's like a nice cup of wine," the Argentinian actress told THC, quoted by People en Español.

Despite her controversial statements, she claims she is open on the matter.

The 35-year-old actress expressed that she smokes marijuana at the end of her day, when she gets to rest from her daily obligations.

"I do everything I have to do during the day. I take the kids to the park, feed them, bathe them, then I smoke a joint and that's when I end my daily responsibilities. I used to read, watch a movie or sleep. They see me and they realize its not a common cigarette," Fonzi said.

For the lovely actress, mother of two, Lázaro and Libertad, smoking marijuana is not a taboo she's scared of talking about at home. On the contrary, Fonzi said that she would have no problem talking about it with her children and that she plans to soon.

"In my case, it worked almost as a search vehicle. I do almost everything while high. I think I could tell them about me. If they ask, I would tell them everything from my personal perspective; then they can get their own. Neither stimulating nor repressing. Let them make their choices," said the actress, according to El Mundo.
