Nah. Who am I kidding? This is California. Getting caught walking around stoned and naked in the L.A. area is like earning a merit badge.

Just the other day I was wondering what had become of him.
LMAO!
He really does, only older than Tommy...
My father and grandfather were overbearing. Most of my male cousins are losers. So is one of my brothers. Me? I kept quiet and OBSERVED everyone not live up to their potential. Marriage(the idea) was out. There is one lucky woman out there that didn’t marry me.
R.I.F. (Doesn't everyone use a hypodermic needle when ingesting marijuana?)
The 47-year-old was cited for trespassing, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana, Irvine police Commander Mike Hallinan said Monday. Police suspect that the substance was methamphetamine, he said, but what was discovered will undergo testing.

In 1997, he pleaded guilty to felony charges that he was cultivating marijuana in his Dana Point home and a misdemeanor charge of illegally possessing prescription medicine.
He joined the Los Angeles Avengers’ Arena Football team in 2000 but was arrested on suspicion of heroin possession and cut eight months later.
In 2005, Marinovich was arrested for drug possession in Newport Beach. Two years later, he was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, unauthorized possession of a hypodermic needle and resisting arrest.

How hard would it be for an ex-football player to get medical marijuana?

After harming his own NFL lineman career by overtraining and focusing too much on weight and bulk, Marv studied Eastern Bloc training methods and was hired by Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis as the NFL's first strength-and-conditioning coach. Marv later opened his own athletic research center and applied the techniques to his young son, introducing athletic training before Marinovich could leave the crib and continuing it throughout his childhood and adolescence. Marv saw an opportunity to use techniques, focusing on speed and flexibility, that later formed the basis for modern core training. During her pregnancy, Trudi used no salt, sugar, alcohol, or tobacco; as a baby, Marinovich was fed only fresh vegetables, fruits, and raw milk. Marv Marinovich commented "Some guys think the most important thing in life is their jobs, the stock market, whatever. To me, it was my kids. The question I asked myself was, How well could a kid develop if you provided him with the perfect environment?" Wikipedia
Dickie still owes me a hundred bucks- it’s been 30 years
According to the OC Register article, police found another substance on him which could be meth. It is being tested. Judging from his face, I suspect he has been consuming a lot more than pot over the years. He sure looks like a meth user.
Stay focused on the subject bro.
He has a long history of drug problems, and one of the drugs is meth, which is probably why he looks 65.

Yep, that’s where Johnny is heading.
And I showed you that in his one full year in college he was pretty darn good. If you need confirmation, go to YouTube and look at his highlights at USC that year. When the coaching change to Smith occurred that was when he started to hit the skids.
Denying his freshman year at USC doesn’t bolster your argument.
I guess Todd never partakes of the alcohol version of drugs Bro
I’m not denying anything. The kid was over-rated. If he was so damn good as a freshman, then why did he suck as a sophomore, a junior....? That suggests his frosh year — if he was such a star, as you say — was a fluke. In any event, I remember the guy, and he did not impress me at all. And I well remember his many tantrums on the field. You must be a relative of his.
