I love how everyone assumes getting high once will ruin her career.
There are lots of successful people who've gotten high, it doesn't automatically "ruin" them. Hell, I have worked with a talented web designer who used to smoke weed.
You will have a very difficult time finding a performer who can honestly say they've never touched drugs. All this will really do is provoke some attention, she's less of a kids icon and she goes on with her career.
Also, for once I agree with Evan, we don't need to know these types of details. These are real people with real lives. Leave them alone.
Take Snoop Dogg for example, he can't perform without getting high first...
It's none of our business.
Miley Cyrus is a person, she will make her own choices. It is not our place to judge her if she wants to get high. It's her life, so leave her to it.
Why are we even supposed to care anyway?
Yeah, you could say that if she was a normal girl turning 18, but it's the idea that she's a celebrity, and such stuff might affect her career if they become worse.(Like Britney or other artists). Or maybe how people look up to her? specially youngsters. It's still your opinion though.
It's legal and she is of age. It's not her responsibility to raise children that are not hers. That's up to parents. If they cannot teach their kids from right and wrong AND they are unwilling to put the effort to get extra help they need, they shouldn't be having kids in the first place.
Being a celebrity doesn't mean ****. Her job is to be a singer, actor, entertainer and she does her job. If people want to be stupid and mimick her life choices, that has nothing to do with her job.
I'm not personally a fan to begin with but last time I checked it was part of her job was to "sell" Movies, TV, and Albums particually to the younger generation so image is everything, now if she gonna go and wreck her image like this, how many parents do you think are going to go out and buy her album for their children. Now lets move on to a different performer named Michael Jackson, now I'm not saying wither MJ did it or not but just look at MJ's album sells post Child Molestation case until he died. Image is everything in her profession, also how many sponsers, TV, and records you think she is gonna get/lose. Tiger Woods cheated on his wife and almost all his sponsors wanted nothing to do with him.
George Jones is considered one of the greatest country singers but he has had so many abusive/failed relationships with women and was well known for his legendary alcohol consumption. He still was extremely successful. MJ's molestation case had the artist directly causing harm to a child which is why his sales plummeted. Yeah it's bad when the artist does the abuse to a child directly, but Cyrus is simply destroying her own body. If that's what she wants, why should we care?
There's no way this act will hurt her career as much as MJ's molestation charge did. MJ's crime is MUCH worse (and technically Cyrus isn't even breaking the law.)

Add 90% of rappers to that list. Most if not all celebrities have done some sort of drug in their lives. And why does that mean it will ruin her career? Timmy Lincecum smokes weed and he won back to back Cy Young Awards. There's a long list of actors/athletes/whatever who have done drugs and their careers are still fine.
