20 Pro Athletes That Smoke Weed On The Regular
Although weed is banned from professional sports, athletes still love to puff a little sticky icky. Here are 20 pro athletes who love smoking weed.
14. Kareem Abdul-Jabar
It’s no real secret that Kareem Abdul-Jabar likes to puff. The NBA’s all-time scoring leader (he threw down 38,387 points from 1966-1989) has even had a couple of run-ins with the law.
In 1998, he was caught with 6 grams at the Toronto airport. And then again in 2000, police in Los Angeles pulled him over for driving under the influence.
But none of that should overshadow how amazing this guy is.
Abdul-Jabar is a six-time NBA MVP, a six-time NBA champion, and a 19 time NBA All-Star.
He’s also been a socially and politically conscious public figure throughout his career. Today, he regularly contributes to national publications like The Washington Post, Time, and more.
He also made an incredible cameo appearance in the Bruce Lee film, “The Game of Death.” Watch that next time you’re high.
13. Nate Diaz
There are a few significant similarities between Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor.
They’re both super successful MMA fighters. They both love weed. And they’re both very public about how much they love weed. But Diaz has taken things one huge step forward.
True, McGregor posted that infamous photo of himself smoking a joint. But Diaz came right out and puffed at a press conference.
Well, 18-year. He wasn’t getting high in public. Instead, he openly used a CBD vape pen at a post-fight press conference.
And although the stunt was controversial, Diaz used it as a chance to talk about the benefits of CBD in particular and medical cannabis in general.
“It’s CBD. It helps with the healing process and inflammation and stuff like that,” he told reporters. “So you wanna get these for before after the fight. It’ll make your life a better place.”
