Justin Bieber’s drug abuse: singer reveals all in YouTube documentary Justin Bieber: Seasons
- Bieber said he started using marijuana when he was 13, and moved onto ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, pills and alcohol
- The singer said it was ‘legit crazy scary’ and that he was ‘popping pills and smoking a blunt’ first thing in the morning
Pop star Justin Bieber has opened up about his past heavy drug abuse, calling it an escape from the pressures of fame that he decided to stop only when he felt he was dying.
Bieber, 25, has written on social media in the past year about his struggles with depression, drugs and fame, but he went into detail on camera for the first time in a documentary series about his life.
“People don’t know how serious it got. It was legit crazy scary. I was waking up in the morning and the first thing I was doing was popping pills and smoking a blunt and starting my day. It just got scary,” Bieber said in the latest episode of his YouTube documentary, Justin Bieber: Seasons, released on Monday.
“I decided to stop because I was like, dying. My security and stuff would come into my room at night to check my pulse,” he recalled.
