Does Justin Timberlake Use Marijuana? Absolutely
One of America’s most well-liked entertainers just publicly admitted that he uses marijuana. That’s right, Justin Timberlake, boy band ingénue, actor, and all around nice guy, told Playboy that he uses marijuana to, well, relax. How refreshing to see someone dealing with the pressures of fame by using something safer than alcohol, instead of jumping on the crazy train.
From US Weekly:
“The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking,” the Bad Teacher and Friends with Benefits star explains. “Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high.”
Whatever his reasons, it’s good that someone with such a high profile feels comfortable sharing his experience with marijuana in public. No one should ever have to be afraid to disclose their marijuana use, and they certainly shouldn’t ever go to jail for it. Hopefully such statements by universally admired celebrities will help people feel safer starting that conversation.
P.S. – Anyone that has seen the movie Alpha Dog knows that he’s smoked marijuana for quite some time. You can tell when people in movies are true potheads, or if they are just actors. There’s a certain demeanor I suppose….
