How many terrible jokes have been made about skateboarding, weed, and the Olympics?

Well this article brings the facts from some of the skateboarders that could be competing in the Olympics and how the drug testing has affected their programs and skateboarding in general.

Sample:

Do you think skateboarding helped push marijuana to the point of normalisation and eventually becoming legal? Seems like skateboarding and hip-hop have had a tremendous impact in that respect.

I feel like with time, everything becomes socially accepted. Pretty much every skater smokes weed, so maybe that did help. I just feel like everyone smokes weed nowadays. It’s like a cigarette.

You just won a gold medal in X Games Real Street. Is it weird to think that you may not have been able to compete in that, much less win, had X Games been an Olympic-sanctioned qualifying event and you could get randomly tested?

Definitely. But I would have quit smoking weed to be a part of it. Like, I love smoking weed, but I’m not so dependent on it. If I’ve got to do something that’s going to help you make some money or further your career, fuck it—I’m going to quit smoking weed. Next month I’ll be in the Dew Tour and they drug test for that because it’s an official Olympic qualifier now. So I haven’t smoked weed in more than a week. I’m basically using this as an opportunity to do my best, even though I’m not necessarily the most contest-type dude.
