Has Miley Cyrus been stripped off her Role Model title???


The recent video leaked on you tube about teen sensation Miley Cyrus smoking the 'legal' drug Salvia, has generated quite the media buzz! Salvia divinorum is a sprawling perennial herb found in the Sierra Mazatec region of Mexico. It's leaves contain the extremely potent Salvinorin A. It has a history of buccal use as a divinatory psychedelic, and has been widely available since the mid 1990s primarily as a smoked herb. Its effects are considered unpleasant by many people. Do you think because this video was leaked strips her of her popularity and innocence? Or is it harmless teenage experimentation? My thoughts on this is that if Miley wants to have some recreational fun, then she should do it in a more private setting. She lives a very public life and to display that type of behavior is only asking for trouble, especially if you are in a group setting. The advances technology has nowadays just opens her up for the possiblity of people taking advantage of certain situations and public scrunity. I think Miley needs to take into consideration that if she is gonna party with friends she should be aware of the implications that may arise. She is a role model with a very young fan base, and having decided to be in this type of industry, Miley needs to uphold that image she has created for herself!

  1. Miley is growing up! Like most kids that reach stardom at such a young age - Linsey Lohan, Britany Spears and (closer to my generation) River Pheonix the world often turns nasty on them as their polished image gets tarnished. The sad thing is that it is hard for these people to live up to an image - their "Brand" when they are all under a microscope.
