That trouble is EXACTLY what we’re talking about.
“According to the claims of the people there it didn’t look like the first time he had done it. So there is at least a small chance that he managed to win 14 gold medals after smoking marijuana.”
And rock stars made hit albums on heroine. So what? Does that mean they didn’t break the law? The length to which people here will go to excuse drug abuse is amazing. Are you trying to excuse your own drug use by chance?
“Doesn’t sound like it was causing him any problems. Camera phones on the other hand...”
He’s in trouble after smoking pot.
Deal with it.
His problems are not because of the drug. His problems are because of drug laws. Do you not see a difference? What would the problem have been if he were using a beer bong in the photo?
No I do not use and have no desire to use. I’m just missing seeing what the great societal benefits of marijuana criminalization is. While I do not use, I know many people who do and they all remain productive members of society.
I especially don’t see how anyone can think it is worthwhile to put any man hours into tracking down evidence to give someone what amounts to little more than a speeding ticket.
