Mary Jane, Meet Justin:

DRUG STRAIN RUMOURED TO BE NAMED AFTER STAR

A new strain of marijuana named after pop star Justin Bieber, 
pictured, is rumoured to be changing hands in Toronto drug circles. 
Called JB Kush after Mr. Bieber's initials -the drug purportedly 
carries the sales message "to help you get through those tough times 
with your loved one, and make you closer."

The story appears to have originated Sunday on the Celebrity blog 
zacktaylor.ca, which also quoted a source close to Mr. Bieber as 
saying the drug "is definitely not an authorized use of his name." 
Clerks at Toronto-area head shops contacted by the National Post were 
unable to confirm the existence of the strain and were "extremely 
uninterested in finding out." Mr. Bieber has been the subject of 
several hoaxes since his 2008 rise to stardom. Last summer, an 
Internet rumour circulated that Justin Bieber's mother, Pattie 
Mallette, was being offered $50,000 to pose topless in Playboy. His 
mother denied the rumour.
