Is this for real? Our beloved stoner athlete Tanner Hall has been making unprecedented moves in the action sport community.  He is one of the first high level athletes to endorse pot as helpful substance to his training and his success.  Tanner said “[I] used it when I competed at the X Games,” he mentioned, “It helps with the stress, with the anxiety. And then, afterwards, as a relaxing agent and pain reliever.” Tanner’s partnership with Black Rock Originals out of Denver, CO is one of a kind and yet another example of how Tanner is always enterprising.

  1. Yeah… let’s talk about his kick ass skiing. I agree. Just don’t try and sell me on smoking dope. Lame.

  2. Why not talk about Tanner’s skiing abilities and accomplishments not just his pot addiction. Any idiot can get high.

  3. Smoking pot is just disgusting. It stinks like burnt hair, it makes you dumb as a post, it saps your motivation, and the smoke has more carcinogens than cigarette smoke. But since Progressives think smoking this crap is cool they will do everything in their power to hide the truth about its health effects. Just like their efforts to hide the truth about “climate change.”

  4. I think we need to hear you define ‘socialism’. that would probably put your other comments in perspective. not much intelligence.

  5. Ever been around a pot smoker? They have the same hack as cigarette smokers do. Real attractive.

  6. I wonder if he was smoking cigarettes if everyone would think it was so cool to be an “athlete” who promoted smoking? Smoking pot is just as disgusting as smoking cigarettes except with pot you lose a lot more IQ points.

      1. Again… breathing smoke into your lungs is a terrible habit. There should be a federal investigation into the people promoting pot use just as there was an investigation into the claims by tobacco companies. The deception is amazing.

        1. I see what you are doing?

          So pot smokers put smoke in their lungs, that is your gripe? Well that is changing ever so quickly. Vaporizing, oil, food the list goes on. You don’t HAVE to smoke it any longer. Your argument is mute.

          Why don’t you google “How many people die each year from tobacco” then google. “How many people die from cannabis each year.”
