On similar lines, one fan stated, “he can only get in trouble for the weed right?? what am I looking at.”

Lastly, one fan expressed his confusion and stated, “Literally what about this is incriminating? Shows him with a bag of weed, going somewhere in Arizona (out of context obviously),& him doing blood work? Please explain.”
