Miley Cyrus has been slammed by anti-drugs campaigners after smoking a spliff on stage at the EMA's on Sunday (10 November, 2013).
Cyrus outraged audiences by taking a joint out of her bag when she walked out to collect the Best Video award for the 'Wrecking Ball'.
"I couldn't fit the award in my purse but I did find this," she said reaching into her bag and removing a joint that she proceeded to smoke on stage. The show also saw her dress up in spandex and twerk with a dwarf during her anthem to teenage rebellion 'We Can't Stop'.
Talking to the Evening Standard, David Raynes for the National Drug Prevention Alliance deemed the act completely "irresponsible." Marijuana isn't legal in the Netherlands, but the lax approach to drug laws mean that people won't be arrested for the possesion of small amounts, despite this Raynes highlighted the effect that the stunt could have on Miley's audience.
"The people she is targeting with her performance are much more vulnerable to the effects of marijuana," he tells the newspaper. "We know from research that cannabis use has more of an effect on the younger brain than the brain of a more mature person. By doing this on stage she is making it a more acceptable lifestyle choice."
Meanwhile in the rest of the world of weed news, Lady Gaga recently opened up, stating that she was completely addicted to the drug, smoking up to 20 joints in a day while recording her new album, ARTPOP. Last year she shocked her audience by lighting a spliff up during a performance in Amsterdam.
