TMZ has learned … Miley Cyrus‘ people knew weeks before the “bong” video surfaced that it existed, and tried to bury it.

Sources tell TMZ … a college student who came into possession of the video contacted one of Miley’s reps shortly after Thanksgiving, asking if the rep wanted his copy. Money was discussed, in exchange for turning over the video.

Sources say Miley’s camp sent a man in his 40s to the student’s college campus in the San Luis Obispo area. The student gave the man his MacBook Pro which contained the “bong” video … in return the man gave the student a new MacBook Pro. No money changed hands, though we don’t know why.

Miley’s camp did the same computer swap with another student who also had a copy of the video.

In the end, Miley’s people couldn’t scoop up all of the copies.

Miley Cyrus is now the inadvertent celebrity endorser of salvia — because ever since that video of her smoking a bong full of it came out … TMZ is reporting sales of the herbal drug are sky high.

According to people who deal, legally, in salvia divinorum … sales have increased since Friday — in some cases up to 3 times the usual tally.

TMZ spoke with several head shops in the Los Angeles area and say — not only have sales jumped — but many of the customers specifically asked for “the stuff Miley was smoking.”

While Miley’s experimentation is generating curiosity in the hallucinogen — one smoke shop employee tells us, “Salvia is one of those things that you only try once because it is so intense.”

Another impact of the Miley video is renewed discussion about banning salvia in California. It is already illegal in 15 states.
