Did Justin Bieber Smoke Marijuana (Weed)?

"Lil Twist is my homey and we're working on stuff for fun." Justin Bieber told MTV News, back in 2010.

According to TMZ.com, Justin Bieber has been caught red-handed smoking marijuana (or weed).

TMZ has posted several pics on their site, including the one to the right.

Is this a valid claim? Would Justin Bieber, teenage heart-throb, smoke on weed?

In my personal opinion, I think he would.

Perhaps he was just "holding it for someone else," as the excuse often goes.

Some are saying that Justin Bieber has been hanging around bad influences, like up-and-coming rapper Lil' Twist (seen below), and the bad effects are starting to be seen.

Does anyone have the courage to tell Justin Bieber that he is on the edge of the cliff?

No, apparently not.

Just look at what has become of Lindsey Lohan.

After seeing pictures of Justin Bieber shirtless in London, actress Olivia Wilde publicly tweeted to Justin Bieber: "Bieber, put your ... shirt on. (unless you lost all your shirts in a fire in which case my condolences and please purchase a new shirt.)"

Side note: Justin Bieber is the most followed person on Twitter.

Not knowing this, Olivia Wilde sparked a backlash by Justin Bieber fans - also known as Beliebers - receiving numerous threats and hateful messages, such as:

"'Are you a lesbian or are you too old?'"

"Put your shirt over you mouth"

in March 2013, Olivia Wilde spoke publicly about the incident on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (see picture above).

Justin Bieber did not just wake up one morning and say, "I wanna smoke some weed today."

Things like this happen one concession at a time. I suspect the freedom of no parents one the road, and no responsible role models around contributed to the downfall of Justin Bieber's latest actions.

When you are rich and famous and on top of the world, who will tell you that you are going to go right off of the edge of a cliff?

Nobody.

After people compared Justin Bieber's downhill spiral to Lindsey Lohan and her drug-induced plummet downward, Justin Bieber publicly posted the below message on Instagram. He took it down shortly after.

Justin Bieber was photographed wearing a gas mask as he went shopping in London in Feb.'13.

Paparazzi tracking him obviously knew that it was still Bieber, sparking curiosity of why Justin Bieber would do such a thing.

Did the Marijuana smoke get to be too much for him and now he is avoiding all toxic gases?

If Justin Bieber really was smoking marijuana (as the pictures suggest), should parents continue to let their children buy and/or listen to Justin Bieber music?

Good question.

Unfoturtunately, many celebrities get caught up in the glitz and the glamour, and live by their own rules. That is how Michael Jackson died.

If Justin Bieber does not stop his spiral downward, he will not make it to his 30's before drugs and fame overtake him. After all, weed is a gateway drug. Once you can't get that same high off of it, you move on to crack.

We all see what it did to Whitney Houston. Justin, get some help before it is too late!
