Ah, vulgar gossip.
Marijuana use of an adult is no one’s business but their own.
Let’s all pretend that spreading the news of someone’s misfortune over something ridiculous is not low, and vulgar gossip mongering.

I’ve been sitting back waiting. The news has been all over the place from him just transporting CBD oil, to liquid THC, to petty amounts of weed. The only thing I think is weird is that he can’t buy his way out of it.

I would agree with you except that he has been exceptionally outspoken that a person who uses any drugs, including Mary Jane is disqualified from being a black belt and instructor.
I dislike hypocrisy. So I hope he either retracts those statements in a meaningful way, or applies his own standards to himself.

Yea… I’m not sure what to make of this. We were talking about this amongst my friends.He might not have had the money… he spent it on weed?

I think you may have the wrong Gracie buddy. I will Guran- God damn- tee you Relson has never said anything like that in the presence of anyone I know.
Royce is anti-booze and getting high.

It is in fact his #1 recommendation, and I’m reminded of this quote every time I roll with a colored belt who reeks like their last cigarette.
What a waste.
My number one recommendations for part time grapplers is: no alcohol - no smoking - Follow the Gracie diet. The reason I say that is because smoking and alcohol put a lot of effort on your body. Your lungs. Your liver. Your stomach. These things will make you suffer, man.
[QUOTE=Raycetpfl;3066231]Relson was released with all charges dropped.
Gracie’s lawyer, Joao Francisco Neto, gave the following statement to MMA Fighting:[/QUOTE]
Good for him.
Can you imagine athletes using cannabis products? What the fuck is wrong with em. Buncha degenerates I tell you hwat.
It’s kind of funny because the only thing that kept Relson out of prison was the matter of the few years this stuff has actually been legal in certain states.
