Ever since that video of Miley Cyrus hitting a bong full of salvia came out, it has resurrected government interest in banning the currently-legal herb in California. If not for any reason other than it turned Miley into even more of an annoying, braying ass than she already is. TMZ says:
Former CA State Assemblyman Anthony Adams tried to get salvia outlawed and classified as a Schedule I controlled substance [back in 2007] — the same as LSD and marijuana. When the bill was voted down, Adams settled for restrictions on selling salvia to minors. It is still legal in California for adults.
After seeing the video of Miley smoking the drug, Adams thinks this is the perfect time to bring back his failed bill: “It’s time for state and federal governments to renew their push toward an outright ban.”
[Salvia] is already illegal in 15 states.
I don’t think there’s any need to ban salvia now. The video of her smoking it is practically a “This is Your Brain on Drugs” commercial by itself. You half-expect her cerebral cortex to slide out of one of her ears and into a hot frying pan while she’s sitting there laughing like an idiot. I think I’ll stick to huffing furniture polish and hot glue guns, thank you very much.
Miley Cyrus continues to hone her new “bad girl” image by toking on a bong while somebody films her just days after her 18th birthday. Of course, it’d be a whole lot cooler if the bong was actually packed full of marijuana instead of cilantro, but then posturing and posing is what Miley does best. TMZ says:
The video was shot during a party at Miley’s L.A. area home 5 days after her 18th birthday.
According to a source connected with Miley, the smoke filling the bong is a natural herb called salvia which has psychedelic qualities. Possession of salvia is legal in California.
As for the video … the source tells us it was shot by one of Miley’s friends — and theory is that someone stole or copied the video from that friend’s camera.
The only thing Miley sucks worse at than music is doing bong hits. She can’t clear the chamber, for starters, and I’m pretty sure she drooled down into the bong at one point. Gross. It’s like watching a retarded kid try to drink from a juice glass without using his hands. Party FAIL.
A picture of the greatest Olympic athlete of all time smoking pot made the media rounds over the weekend, outraging fogies and squares the world over. It seems Michael Phelps was photographed toking on a bong at a USC house party last November, where he was ass-tapping visiting a student there named Jordan Matthews. Michael quickly issued a public apology, telling the Associated Press in a written statement:
“I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I’m 23 years old and despite the successes I’ve had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.”
So what’s to become of his fledgling career and endorsement deals now? According to News of the World
After sporting chiefs announced laws which mean four-year bans for drug-taking, Phelps’ dreams of adding to his overall 14 gold medal tally at the 2012 games in London could already be over.
Phelps earned [$8 million] last year in endorsements… with huge brands such as Mastercard and HSBC. The [companies] admitted proven cannabis use would be “a major taint” on Phelps’ character.
Jesus effing Christ on a stick. So everybody’s cool with that DUI he got a few years back — Mastercard and HSBC are still content to milk that tainted cow — but God forbid he dare to smoke a little pot. You know, because driving drunk never killed anyone or ophaned any children or maimed any innocent bystanders the way marijuana does. No sir. Big companies can put their dollars behind DUIs. But smoking pot? Why, it’s like playing a game of Russian roulette. If instead of a gun you had a old N64 and instead of bullets you had Tostinos pizza rolls. Good on corporate giants for maintaining such a strict moral code and sense of decency.
