Miley Cyrus -- as Justin Bieber -- says salvia is LEGAL on SNL's 'The Miley Cyrus Show'

Miley Cyrus let herself be spoofed on "Saturday Night Live" this past weekend on the recurring "The Miley Cyrus Show" sketch -- but she posed as Justin Bieber while doing it.

Cyrus, who hosted the variety show Saturday by singing her monologue and pretending to be Lindsay Lohan, let the writers poke fun at her in stride as they took on her semi-nude Annie Leibovitz photos, Disney grooming roots and that bong-smoking scandal.

"She was up for anything," cast member Kristen Wiig told MTV News. "That's always, to me, what makes a host fun to have around. They'll make fun of themselves or how the media perceives them. She was up for anything, which was so great."

But Lohan didn't seem to think so. The embattled actress even wrote a letter to "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels because she was upset the show allowed Cyrus to tease her. (What a poor sport. Can't one child star make fun of another?)

The highlight, however, was Cyrus dressed up as an eye-shadow-wearing Bieber on "The Miley Cyrus Show" segment opposite Vanessa Bayer.

"It's a Mexican standoff if the Mexicans were tiny, talented geniuses," Jason Sudeikis said in character as always-doting daddy Billy Ray Cyrus.

Bayer, an "SNL" newbie, all-too-convincingly mimicked Cyrus' toothy smile and loud, nasal voice to blood-curdling annoyance levels. And Cyrus effectively parodied Bieber's hair flips, crotch grabs and ultra-laid-back interview style.

Here's some of what they did (CAPS added for blood-curdling emphasis):

Fake Miley: WAIT A MINUTE, JUSTIN BIEBER, DID YOU CUT YOUR HAIR?

Real Miley as the Biebs: Yeah, you know, it's an image change. I also do the middle finger now.

Fake Miley: SO YOU'RE GROWING UP. LIKE ME ... DOING SALVIA! DID YOU KNOW I SMOKED SALVIA?

Real Miley as the Biebs: You know, there's no reason why you wouldn't. Because it's TOTALLY LEGAL, YO!

Point made, Miley. Point made.

lol. Salvia. I wonder what the general public would think if they knew that THis stuff does. Smoking a big fat bong rip of salvia will scramble your brains like no other drug besides PCP for about five minutes or so. More than acid, more than mushrooms. Just wacked. The effects don't last long, but what you do get, if you smoke enough of it, is WAAAAYYYY more hardcore than marijuana. The kind of crap you could make you walk into oncoming traffic 'staring at the pretty lights'. I'm not all anti-drug or anything, just telling it like it is. I flushed mine down the toilet after the second try.

Sorry that grammar was atrocious. I blame it on the lingering effects of my previous Salvia experimentation.

Thanks AZ66 for that interesting comment. I've been amazed at all the people claiming that Miley was actually smoking marijuana, because anyone who knows anything about the affects of salvia, and then watches that video, should recognize instantly that you don't go from zero to 60 in one drag off a bong full of pot like she did after one hit. Only salvia can do that to you! Also, if you look at the video, it's pretty apparent that she didn't know what she was doing, even as far as how to smoke from a bong--she needed instructions from the guy sitting next to her--and that she had allowed herself to be talked into doing it when she shouldn't have because she really didn't know anything about the drug or its affects. Meanwhile, she's admitted it was a mistake for her to do so, and hopefully, the next time she tries a bong, it will have something much more mild in it, like weed. Personally, I don't recommend people using any recreational drugs, even alcohol, but I'm not so naive as to think that my recommendation is going to hold any weight with a teenager who's just become an adult and is ready for some wild times.

When you're a teenage girl, and you're with all your friends, sure you do.
