This kid is a dumbass in the purest sense of the word. His endorsements were his main chance for a great income, and that is now gone. Forever. One toke over the line, I guess. Dumbass.
I can't argue over his intelligence, but i am getting to the point of BFD with pot. If he was photographed doing a line of coke off of the back of a trannie hooker while stealing lollipops from a gaggle of 6 year olds, i would be upset. I don't smoke, but i am getting to the point where i don't think its a big deal.
Maybe he's the smart one and it's the rest of the paranoid brainwashed country that is a bunch of dumb asses. The guy smoked a joint, big deal whoopty doo. George Bush drank himself into oblivion and he became president. Our tax dollars are being used to murder unborn babies here and over seas and the country could care less, but let someone roll a fat one and it's hell and damnation. What an a$$ backwards society we live in.
Well, no, when you lose millions of dollars in endorsements spanning over the next several years because you wanted to spark up a fattie, then you're a complete moronic dumbass. He knew the consequences and yet decided to chance it. Or maybe he was oblivious to it all, which is very possible. It has nothing to do with smoking weed actually.
The fact that no one gives a rats behind if anyone smokes weed anymore reduces the impact of these potential consequences. My guess is that most sponsors looking at him as a potential endorsor are smart enough to realize that it's not a big deal, and also realize that the magnitude of his accomplishments far overshadow his recreational habits. Like Twisted said, our former prez was an alky and a cokehead, and our current prez said 'I inhaled, frequently. That was the point.' People who still judge others based on this should also have their intellectual capacities scoffed at.
