REFORMED wild child Britney Spears has walked out on fans smoking dope at a Canadian concert.

Spears left the stage for about 30 minutes during a show in Vancouver this week.

An announcer told fans to put out their cigarettes.

But when Spears finally came back and finished the show, she scolded the crowd: "Don't smoke weed."

It was a far cry from the Britney Spears who hit the party circuit with Paris Hilton two years ago, was photographed not wearing underwear, shaved her head and was ordered to undergo drug testing before losing custody of her two children.

The disaster-prone pop star seems to have regained some control over her life, and promoters are hopeful she will bring her "Circus" tour to Australia this year.

Spears' agent issued an apology to Vancouver fans, blaming a "ventilation issue" for the walk-off.

so - britney is now anti-dope...who knew, hehe ;)
 
Pfft look whos fukin talkin. She needs to get a life. I dont do pot but id tell everyone to use that instead of H or meth. Wtf is she on about?
 
i'd say it has more to do with protecting her image nowadays, than anything else. coming from one of the world's most public trashbags, it would be like lindsay lohan telling people not to snort coke ;)
 
Maybe, just maybe, she doesn't want people smoking pot because she's a recovering addict and just the smell is enough of a trigger?

Then again she must just be being a hypocritical bitch. :\
 
same story as usual its all about image and publicity if you ask me. wouldnt be supprised if its set up.
 
hmmm...quite possibly.
pot does stink though - let's be honest.
even though i don't smoke, heaps of smokers i know have admitted it reeks.
 
oh dear. oh well, at least she shaves.

you know i had to pry a girl out of the toilets at a very well-established melbourne venue 2 weeks ago... and she was that FUCKED UP on acid that she thought every person she came into contact with was a guy named Stu.. anyways, she had no pants on, no undies on, and the worst case of JUNGLE PUBES it was un-be-liev-able. yeirk!!!!

thats a pretty retarded comment... are you trying to say weed isn't a hard drug? coz i'd really beg to differ considering it's realistic long term health effects
 
LMFAO, I hate people who think they can do as many drugs as they want and when they clean up have the audacity to lecture people. Oh, ok, so it was fine for you but now you have decided you are past it nobody else should be able to enjoy it? Fuck you.
And MrIbis, I think alot of people who smoke belittle the long term effects of cannabis, that said, it is hardly a "hard" drug imho.

U stupid noob greenlighter what part didnt u understand? Weed isnt a hard drug. Rather she would tell people to use that instead of meth and heroin. Weed is used for medical purposes also. Its more acceptable and its natural.

'Natural' doesn't mean anything. A chemical is a chemical no matter if it grows on a tree or is made in a lab.
 
^^ Opium is natural, Coca is natural, does that make Heroin or Coke any less of a hard drug? Douche.

If you'd seen some of then negative mental effects cannabis can have on some people you wouldn't be so quick to tell everyone how soft of a drug it is.

The point is she wasn't telling people not to smoke at all, but not to smoke in HER show or around her. It's no different than someone who doesn't want you banging heroin in front of them, it doesn't matter if the drug is 'hard' or 'soft' if it is enough of a trigger or even enough to annoy them you don't do it. Go outside and have a roach! But what clown goes to see Brittney Spears to smoke a J.

Yes but cannabis doesn't produce the serious long term neurological changes cocaine does after years of use. It doesn't result in serious physical dependence like heroin or even opium. It doesn't kill with overdose like many other drugs, nor does it result in massive changes in serotonin as does MDMA, or large and potentially permanent dopamine deficiencies like meth and similar drugs.

Sure it's bad to smoke anything, and even small amounts of cannabis can affect some people adversly. Yes, these people should avoid using cannabis, but that hardly makes it a hard drug. There's very few long term users of other drugs that don't display some physiological or psycholocgical changes, yet there's many regular cannabis users that have few to no long term problems.

I could go on about the therapeutic benefits of cannabis; such as cannabidiol being a potent antitumor substance, and how THC cools certain areas of the brain, making stroke less likely or severity of stroke reduced..... but this is all available online if you'd like a more objective view.

It's called personal management skills, something surely lacking from most Rehab courses I've looked at. If and when you're free from the clutches of any drug, then being around other users should be no problem at all IMO. I've known countless, once serious users, who've successfully eliminated their drug use altogether without rehab, and these people generally have no problems being around those who use. It's a bloody poor outcome if virtually every user graduating Rehab school comes out with a "don't do it near me, the temptation is too much" attitude. Something isn't working right. It leaves such people far more vulnerable to falling back into old ways. IMHO It's about learning to appreciate the value in being free of the effects of drugs, rather than continuing to see their past substance of choice as an eternal tempatation.

For those smoking a J, could it be that they were all there merely to accompany someone else, and this was the only way they could stand to listen to her poor excuse for pop music? I ask because I had to do a similar thing many years ago when a girlfirend wanted to see Dean Friedman.....I might never have made it out alive otherwise =D
