Shia LaBeouf was voted a Top CelebStoner on the heels of his July 27, 2008 car accident, which left his hand crushed and required surgery. After the accident, during which his pickup truck flipped over in Hollywood, police determined he was under the influence of alcohol.

The DUI charge was dropped, but LaBeouf's license was suspended for one year because he had refused to take a Breathalyzer test.

One of Hollyweed's hottest stars, the 24-year-old actor grew up with hippie parents. "I had my first joint before I had my first drink," he says. "My parents always thought weed was healthier than alcohol. If you look at the science of it, it’s the truth. Nobody has ever died smoking weed."

Born in Los Angeles on June 11, 1986 to Jeff and Shayna LaBeouf, Shia started his acting career when he was 12 and has since appeared in such hits as Indiana Jones and the Kindgom of the Chrystal Skull, Transformers, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Distubia, Eagle Eye and Holes.

LaBeouf says his father turned him on to pot when he was just 10 years old: "My dad did a lot of things. He was a clown. He sold snow cones. He did stand-up comedy. He even went on tour with the Doobie Brothers as their opening act. He was a Vietnam vet, an artist, an explorer of life - just an adventurer.”

For his role in Bobby, in which he drops acid, Shia consulted Jeff: "My dad was a big Tim Leary fan in his day, and he had tripped on acid. So my father was very descriptive about the high and what happens, and he broke down the timeline for me."

Jeff LaBeouf ultimately had a major drug problem: "My dad was a drug dealer for most of my life. I’m sure there was a time when drugs were really fun for my dad, but after you have a kid, the party is over. I got to grow up in a situation where drugs were demonic. To watch your dad going through heroin withdrawals is something that would stray you from doing any of that. He also grew up in a different time... where literally they’d line up coke lines on the Craft services tables for grips."

About his own drug use, Shia says: "To say I've never smoked would be insane. To say I never had a drink would be insane. I mean I had a drink at my bar mitzvah. I had my first joint before I had my first drink... I smoke cigarettes but I don’t drink coffee because I get anxiety attacks. Being on coke I would die. I just know myself enough."

LaBeouf's cigarette habit has gotten him into trouble on several occasions. He was arrested in Burbank, California on Feb. 14, 2008 for smoking on the sidewalk. After blowing it off, police issued a warrant one month later. In April 2008, LaBeuof paid a $500 fine.

On Nov. 5, 2007, LaBeouf was arrested in Chicago and charged with criminal trespassing. Allegedly drunnk, he refused to leave a Walgreen's at 2:30 am. The charge was eventually dismissed.

LaBeouf directed Kid Cudi's "Marijuana" video, which was filmed at the 2010 Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam. He next co-stars as Sam Witwicky in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, opening June 29.
