^ Yes I agree with your point that Weed probably helps more than harms wrestlers. It's just the fact that its illegal and has a bad rep with the media that people look down on it.

Weed is the least offensive drug out there. It's barely even illegal anymore (well, here in the UK anyway).

Who knew RVD smoked weed, huh?

It was common knowledge he enjoyed a sneaky joint and only a matter of time until he was caught. If WWE weren't prepared to accept that eventuality, they should never have employed him. As far as I'm concerned, wrestlers should be allowed to have a private life in which they do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect their job. If RVD was stoned getting into a WWE ring, he should have been fired on the spot. Otherwise, leave him be. He's a grown man, he can face his own consequences. It's not like he was caught hitting a crack pipe whilst driving.

I know there's a whole load of arguments against this, but weed isn't the end of the world. In fact, it probably helps many wrestlers deal with injuries and stress. RVD was an idiot to get caught, but not an idiot to do it in the first place.
And that would be well and good, but he chose the wrong time to get caught.

We're living in a post 9-11 Eddie Guerrero world, and like Mister Bush, Vince had to pretend to give a shit for a week or two.

Further, it wasn't just that he smokes pot. It's that he got caught. By the police. This is a big deal, and whether or not it's his "personal life" it has impact.

Nobody's blaming him for sparking up. People are blaming him for sparking up then driving, getting caught, and humiliating the WWE with their "wellness policy." You know that. You even say he's stupid for that. So I think you answered your own question: Yes, RVD was in the wrong.

Also, when RVD was first signed to WWF/E, he was actually on a Zero Tolerance policy. IT was pretty clear that they wouldn't stand for him sparking. That may have changed, but it's pretty clear WWE took more steps to deal with his drug issues than with 99% of the rest of the roster...Lip service or not.

Yeah, and its effects on judgement have no bearing on it.
