Brad Pitt Is a Little Old to Be Smoking Pot

Nice hair... is he getting fat, too?

I always thought that when it comes to Brad Pitt, there are few things that could surprise me - and those would have to be pretty hard-core stuff: a sex tape with Angie, him really being a deadly assassin out to control the world, you know, that kind of stuff. No, don't worry - unfortunately, there's no sex tape in sight and as far as I can tell Mr. Pitt hasn't been receiving any special forces training - on the contrary, judging by these latest photos he seems to have piled on a few extra pounds.

Well, then, what's the big shocker? Apparently, Brad has been feeling depressed about growing old lately, so depressed in fact that he allegedly turned to smoking cigarettes and... pot - in public, so that he was spotted by several eye witnesses. Well, that would certainly pass for a stupid thing to do - and definitely not in tune with his current "super dad" image. But hey, it's Brad Pitt we're talking about here, you're not going to believe everything you hear about him, right? Right?

The fact is, it seems that Brad is heading for a little bit of middle age crisis. Not that I'd be very surprised about that - that's why I find it quite believable. I always had this funny feeling (that's entirely personal but you may relate to it) that Brad was a down to earth, hands-on parent whose personal rest and relaxation time was zero and who was always being controlled by a domineering, occasionally hysterical Angie. It may be a completely cliché view - but I can pretty much imagine Brad being snapped at by Angelina for smoking and hiding his cigarettes from her.

"He still smokes. He sneaks cigs behind Angie's back" says a source quoted by Star magazine. At the Cannes Film Festival (in May last year) "he stayed outside, smoking and drinking" another witness reports. "He looked stressed, like he was trying to get his fill because he had a limited time to enjoy his cigarettes". And if you think that's funny, wait until you hear the next part.

Another source quoted by Star alleges that Brad was seen smoking pot with comedian Steve-O (that's right, the guy from who Lindsay Lohan reportedly stole some heavier drugs too). "I couldn't believe that someone as famous as Brad Pitt would be smoking openly" states the witness. "But there he was, lighting up a fattie with Steve-O. I was stunned". Well, serves us right - buying into Brad's nice guy image without wondering what he is doing to relieve the stress of still being one of the hottest men on the planet. Tough job, huh?

Well, hoping that this article doesn’t just address a hypocritical view point, I want to throw in there that perhaps he isn’t being a suspiciously nice and smart guy to the open eye whilst secretly consuming illegal narcotics. More along the lines that he IS a nice and smart guy because he does smoke weed and has for a considerable time in his life. Stoners aren’t a cancer, they aren’t a problem and they aren’t a hazardous group of people. But put it in the hands of someone who doesn’t use it in moderation and you end up with half the reason why it’s illegal. The other half is mostly because marijuana opens one’s eyes. You see past a Westerners view on life, you share understanding, you don’t claim you ARE right and everyone else is wrong, you only claim that everyone is a different person and everyone’s beliefs alter, so no more correct is yours than someone else’s. A lot of stoners also realize that money is poofed out of thin air and then they question its existence and its manipulation within society itself. Questioning what the world revolves around will have distinct repercussions, so they want as little people as possible questioning and noticing the manipulation in society. This way the youth of today continue to slave on a minimal wage just to create the wonderful life of the rich that cease anything they want. Nothing in the world has changed since the existence of mankind, there was always those who wanted everything they could get their hands on, and the one thing to bring that to them was the rest of the people (slaves). We aren’t free even today, if you compare the times of today, with the times of yesterday you will still see that we are slaves, not in chains but in poverty, unable to access anything they can’t afford, and to afford anything on a normal person of societies wage, is most likely impossible, So they bring out the bank loans which allow us to acquire what we desire, however this only chains someone in debt, now forcing them to slave for the next years to come, keeping the cycle of life flowing and the number of poor people growing.
