Justin Timberlake is an actor, singer, comedian and pot smoker. The "SexyBack" singer is opening up to Playboy about his vice, telling the mag:

"The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking. Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high."

The 30-year-old Bad Teacher star adds:

"I feel I'm just getting to a point in my life where I'm looking around, going, There's a lot to enjoy if I can just sit still, actually stop and take more time."

Aside from talking about weed, JT is also chatting about another Justin ... as in Bieber! He says:

"Justin’s great. He’s obviously a talented kid. I just hope he has a good support system, because I think back on myself wearing cornrows. It’s awkward growing up in front of the public. Justin’s probably dealing with that on some level now. Somebody like Usher mentoring him is great because Usher is somebody who’s had a lot of ups and not a down that I can remember.”

"I don't have a single song ready to go. People keep asking me when a new song or album is coming out, and I don't know what to say. Music is not my focus right now. It may be someday. It could happen next month or next year but right now it's not where it's at for me."

"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't completely awkward. I couldn't tell you the number of people in the crew watching me and my bare a*s, but it was a lot."
