Get caught buying weed in your street clothes, you get the most of the blame. In the past, when a player was caught doing something illegal, he became a stain on the NBA. Now when they do it, it's more on the individual's level.
It's still going to stain the NBA for letting a weed head remain in the organization, and it happens all the time in the NBA and most other pro sports. The clothing he's wearing when he buys or uses an illegal substance wont have anything to do with it. And they have a lackadaisical drug policy. Maybe that's something they should focus on.
