Has Justin Bieber graduated from weed to narcotics drugs?

The singer, who was recently photographed smoking pot and has admitted to smoking the drug, has been hanging out with some bad influences, including Lil Twist and Lil Za.

Bieber was hanging out with his new friends this week and photos have emerged showing a large bottle of codeine at the gathering — aka sizzurp.

TMZ is reporting, there are photos showing Justin, Lil Za and Lil Twist, who have both reportedly smoked pot with Bieber, at a table rolling up blunts. Also on the table are two sets of double cups, a known style of consuming sizzurp.

In one of the photos, Bieber is drinking out of a double cup. Bieber denies using the drug. While the photos do not show anyone actually consuming the drug, why would the drug be at the party? For show?

What do you think about Justin’s new friends? Is Bieber heading down a path of destruction?
