I think it's really obnoxious the way you titled this. "Dope smoking?" Like this is the goddam 50's? Like you've never smoked pot or that doing so at some point in your life is so strange it deserves regular, unyielding focus despite having nothing to do with his athletic achievements. It's obnoxious. Be better.

I agree, the "Dope Smoking" in the title is pretty lame...
