Justin Timberlake on Weed: 'Some People Are Just Better High'

Although we'd like to think that Justin Timberlake's fans are smart enough to make their own choices, we have a feeling that the former Mouseketeer may receive some bad role model flak for his recent accolades for a certain herbal wonder, marijuana.

"The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking," Timberlake told Playboy. "Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high."
According to the actor, comedian and singer, a mellowed out brain is exactly what he needs.

"I feel I'm just getting to a point in my life where I'm looking around, going, there's a lot to enjoy if I can just sit still, actually stop and take more time."

But Timberlake's new mantra may put his singing career a little too far on the back burner.

"I don't have a single song ready to go," he said. "People keep asking me when a new song or album is coming out, and I don't know what to say."

Maybe Timberlake's puff puff pass habit also had something to do with his split from longtime girlfriend, Jessica Biel -- we can't imagine the poised actress ever partaking in Timberlake's zen searching pastime.

But whatever Timberlake's doing -- he's got another box office hit up his sleeve in 'Friends with Benefits' -- his career couldn't be hotter. Blaze on, brother!
