Or lifting a shot glass full of water. We don't know
what was in the pipe, but no reason to let that hold up

I'm buying more from Kellogg's cereal. He had everything going for
him, why the need to get high? Also, in his position, why be so open
with it knowing most people have cell phones and can take pictures and
even friends secretly can be jealous and try and ruin you. I wonder

a shot glass with alcohol?

public opinion. We cannot convict him of anything.
We *can* refuse to buy his endorsed products.
Freedom of choice. No more, no less. Come down
