Last weekend one of Miley Cyrus's friends made a video of Miley doing a bong hit ... of salvia.
If you're like us, your first thought (after the shock of "Miley Cyrus" and "bong hit" being used in the same sentence had subsided) was--salvia? Isn't that that new herbal sweetener?
Turns out salvia divinorum is a psychoactive drug that can be ingested several ways. When smoked, the effects last for only five minutes.
Its primary users are Mazateca Shaman and giggling teenage girls. Who like to upload videos of themselves using it. To YouTube. Because apparently, they're never going to have to get a job. Or be a Disney star.
Now, we don't blame Miley too harshly for experimenting with a legal, non-addictive drug which has no lasting bad effects. As terrible teenage behavior goes, that's actually pretty mild.
However, we are blaming her for doing it in the company of the "friend" who leaked the video to TMZ.
Unfortunately, that's exactly the kind of idiotic behavior we've come to expect from Disney stars. We wish they came with expiration dates, so that once they got all rebellious and angsty and teenager-y, Tinkerbell would wave her magic wand, and poof! They'd disappear.
So--any suggestions for how to rehabilitate Miley's image? So far we've only come up with one: a remake of--well, let's change the name to The Bong Song. With Michael Phelps making a guest appearance. (Remember him? Olympic gold medalist currently not appearing on a Wheaties box near you?)
That bong b bong bong bong.
