TMZ scored some pretty scandalous pics of what appears to be Justin Bieber smoking a blunt. You know, a fun little weed cigar thing.

Do you think it's the weed?

Justin took to Twitter to kind of apologize... I guess. Here's what he said:

"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 stron"

"everyday growing and learning. trying to be better. u get knocked down, u get up."

"like i said...2013...new challenges. new doubters...Im ready. We are ready. see u all tomorrow and everyday after that. #BELIEVEtour"
