In a shocking revelation about Lebron James’ past drug use, it appears as though he smoked marijuana repeatedly throughout his junior year of high school.  Never again after that, though.  Especially not when he made millions upon millions of dollars…right.  Is it really surprising that Lebron James smoked (smokes, for people that believe) weed?  Not even the well manicured analysts at ESPN were surprised. 

One on-air personality went on to say, “does it really matter?  It’s kind of like, who cares?”  Indeed, who cares.  Several million respectable Americans smoke weed everyday.  Michael Phelps was revealed as one of these people not so long ago if you do remember.  It was a huge scandle, lost tons of money, people freaked out, and he got his bong taken away.  Why is it that when Michael Phelps smokes pot, its horrible, but if Lebron James smokes pot, its not too shabby.

One could argue the media is telling white kids to not smoke pot by demoralizing their role model, and that they’re telling black kids that it’s alright to smoke pot, as long as you can make a lot of money while doing it.
