When asked by the magazine if he regularly smokes marijuana, Timberlake answered with a definitive "Absolutely."

The star then added, "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."

Timberlake next stars in the upcoming film, "Bad Teacher," alongside friend and former flame Cameron Diaz, who perhaps coincidentally portrays a pot-smoking teacher.
