Justin Bieber appears to be on the road to downfall. Not only has the Canadian crooner been overthrown by Psy as "YouTube King" but the singer has also suffered an embarrassing snub by the Grammys. Would this explain why Justin has been rolling the blunt and enjoying the joints? Some experts say Justin has been smoking weed due to his split with Selena Gomez.

2013 doesn't promise to be a good start for Justin Bieber following his split with long-time girlfriend, Selena Gomez. Now, the star has landed him in even hotter water with photos emerging of him smoking weed at a party. The said photos are likely the cause of the death of paparazzi, Chris Guerra who was on the said location in hopes of capturing Bieber smoking pot.

Representatives of Bieber have not spoken up on the issue of him smoking pot. On the other hand, Justin might not have directly addressed the issues but he did manage to tweet a lengthy message on his public Twitter account regarding the marijuana controversy.

"Another year. Another year to be doubted. Another year to work hard and prove them wrong. Another year we are coming out of the gate strong," said Bieber. "Everyday growing and learning. Trying to be better. U get knocked down, u get up," added the 18-year old star.

While some "Beliebers" are quick to jump into Justin's defense, some claim that Bieber's pot session was a way to cope with the heartbreak. Experts claim Justin has been doing the pot to cope with Gomez dumping him. If fans may recall, the "Jelena" duo had fled to Mexico to celebrate the New Year's however they didn't even manage to share a smooch because they ironically had another row.

Gomez immediately flew out of Mexico leaving a heartbroken Bieber alone in Mexico. The two have not been photographed since. Judging from Selena's tweet of "New Beginnings", Justin doesn't seem to be part of Gomez's New Year.

For one, Justin should start focusing on his career and quit the pot for the sake of his fans. Bieber is already close to being "just another" name in the business if he doesn't play up his game.
