Marijuana is huge in this country. While he may have alienated some of his fans after the incident, he also probably gained a lot of them too. Not only that, but the publicity and controversy surrounding him could have brought in more casual fans.

I mean, you had a guy getting drunk in the ring every night (Austin) and he was World Champion several times. You have a guy who smokes weed and his push is immediately killed. It's just bullshit STIGMA surrounding marijuana.
You do know RVD wasn't just in possession of weed, right? Also, it might have brought in more fans, but would have got WWE in trouble with its shareholders and spurred another fraud investigation, to say the least.

The idea of picking up fans is to then benefit you via income. It would be fucking stupid to do it in a fashion that would then cost them money and possibly lead to more severe penalties.

The moral of this story: Don't be stupid, kids.
