BERLIN – Three-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt said he tried marijuana as a kid, the German newspaper Bild reported Sunday.
“In Jamaica, you learn as a child how to roll a joint. Everyone here has tried it. I did too — but I was real young then,” Bolt told the paper. “My family and my friends don’t smoke and I don’t hang out any longer with people who smoke.”
Bolt set world records in the 100 and 200 meters at the Beijing Olympics and was part of the Jamaican team that broke the world mark in the 400-meter relay.
And despite trying marijuana he was still able to attain world records.
One of the most insidious lies that is constantly used to keep jailing Americans is the gateway lie. Usain is a prime example that the vast majority of users only want to smoke pot. Since marijuana isn’t addictive, Usain could put it down whenever he wanted. In Jamaica he’s a hero, in America he’s just a criminal..
