I can't even with this argument that weed isn't a drug. WTH? I've had many stoner friends in the past tbh, and I haven't even heard any of THEM say this, EVER. I am laughing right now :laugh: and hello, alcohol IS considered a drug. I can't...

I like my 21yo son's reason for not wanting to even try weed, "It makes you stupid." Some of his peers were users and they just dropped out of his life.

I agree. I was thinking about the people I went to HS with that were really into pot and for the most part, they did nothing with their lives. It's sad.

Agreed! I am a huge Breaking Bad fan...there is no glorification in drug use at all, so your right she is an idiot saying that. The portrays the the exact opposite about meth, unless she thinks everything that has happened to those characters is "cool".

Between this and her Justin Bieber "mentoring" advise I am convinced she is delusional

Seriously. Nobody on Breaking Bad is living the good life from what I've seen!

I think someone needs to tell this girl she's a complete moron. (I've used this and that and its okay because Im an "artest") if this was my daughter I wouldn't give a flying fig what her next hit single was she would be in "Promises" so fast it would make her head spin ...PFT...When stupid people are famous

"Molly" is suppose to be pure MDMA..however, just cause it's supposed to be doesn't mean it actually is.

BTW..does anyone know/remember why/when ecstasy became unpopular? I just remember it being everywhere in the clubs for a period of time and then I just didn't see it as often anymore.

Not everyone is like that. My husband smoked a lot of pot in high school and a little in the beginning of college and he has quite a good job. Good enough where I don't really have to work. So it depends on the person and their personality. Some people can pick things up and put them down, where others can't stop. I think it's like that with a lot of things; food, shopping, drugs. Some people have less self control.

If coffee were a drug I think plenty of us would be considered addicts. It's all in how something is portrayed.

Molly is ecstasy... I have no idea why people would attempt that stuff because it has the worst side effects out of all the drugs... and some people die after using it once....

I know there are probably some NYC posters who remember that nightclub The Limelight back in the 80's and 90's... that club were notorious for dealing ecstasy... I guess ecstasy fad died when that club was shut down... either that or there were too many deaths related to that... now you got that Trinidad James and Miley Cyrus singing about it... now all the kids wanna do it... it's so stupid...

Really, how so? Not condoning the use of MDMA but I don't agree that is has the worst side effects compared to many other drugs. ie: heroin

She had a point about Breaking Bad, except I don't think she ever mentioned they were glorifying drug use. If she did, then she's an idiot and the people who watch Breaking Bad and see ANY sort of glorification of drug use are idiots too. *She* is glorifying drug use.

She didnt say that BB glorified drug use, she said that she thinks America is hypocritical about what it gets up in arms about, pointing out that Breaking Bad is basically a tutorial in meth-making. She has a very valid point, yet that show is consistently hailed as must-see TV, won numerous awards etc.

She is glorifying HER drug use through her music and imagery I imagine, but until I see the media raking every single celebrity across the coals for this (look at Snoop for cripes sake, the man is baked every second of the day) I'm giving her a pass. I just want to see the scales balanced. Male celebrities get away with 10 times worst than female celebs.

How is someone going to make meth after watching Breaking Bad? while the production has been pretty crafty at delivering a high degree of realism the meth making process on the show is completely faulty. Miley said you could "literally" make meth after watching the show... I'm sorry but you can't "literally" make meth after watching Breaking Bad.

I fail to see why people should be up in arms about Breaking Bad and while the ratings system in the US is pretty f**ked up I don't think they've been irresponsible with regards to BB. There are many other shows on TV at the moment that more problematic than BB.

To my mind Breaking Bad is one of the more responsible, thought provoking, nuanced shows on drugs which deserves it's critical recognition... Miley could have chosen from a range of other shows to better illustrate her point but I find it interesting that she chose Breaking Bad.
