This speculation is pointless, for all we know he could just need to take some time to adjust to his marriage, everybody handles things differently. All the best to DJ.
[/quote]

That's an absolutely moronic response. You really think he can't adjust to the marriage of PG? C'mon. Us golfers are supposed to be smart.

I'm amazed at the people which say THC isn't addictive. Alcohol, chewing tobacco, cocaine, cigarettes, heroin, soda can all be addictive to some people. But not THC. That's all natural goodness right there. Can't be addicted to it no Sir.

REALLY???

Please do some research or at least look up the formal definition of addiction before you pull your hair out in disbelieve.

There is a huge difference between physical addiction and habit formation.

Some poor SOB might drink 5 liters of cola a day for 20 years, then one day tell himself to cut it out, He will be able to do it, without his body shutting down and going into withdrawal. Same goes for THC. Ultimately it will come from from mental fortitude.

The same cannot be said about the other physically addictive substances you listed.
[/quote]

No. Even the leading Marijuana advocates say that THC can be addictive. The physical withdrawals are just mild compared with other drugs. Go check out the homeless shelters in Denver and see the markedly increase in teenagers there. Tell me how great marijuana is.

We get it. You like to smoke weed. You're not addicted. I don't care.

Badger, go eat some cheese and relax. Please do us all a favor and stop commenting. You're just making a fool of yourself.

[CMBaviator_FR]

Well

I think that the PGA TOUR, European tour...., should do all kings of drug tests every months. If they did so, maybe they'd have discoverd that DJ was on drug earlier ( if the issue was drug, we don't know yet and maybe we'll never know )

What a shocker!

Guy looks like the poster child for THC use.

What a waste of talent.
[/quote]

Yeah since THC is addictive and all and normally requires intensive rehab...
[/quote]

And I suppose alcohol isn't addictive either?

Johnson always looked like a stoner. People who smoke marijuana can be led into harder drugs or a combination. I know a Guy which almost killed two people in a robbery and tried to kill two cops. His defense was that he was addicted to marijuana.
[/quote]

Alcohol is 100% addictive, much more so than marijuana.

Marijuana is not physically addictive, regardless of the mumbo jumbo the government has fed you for the last 60-70 years. There is nothing in it that makes you want to start smoking crack or injecting yourself with heroin.

If the guy you are talking about was smoking weed, he would have been too lazy to rob anyone or try to kill the police, he would be at home watching cartoons and eating cheetos.
[/quote]
This is just straight out wrong. Weed is incredibly addictive, there is just a perception it isn't cause people function on it. It's hilarious how many people tell me it isn't addictive, who hit the bongs every morning and every night. Most stoners don't see it as being addictive. They have it under control, it's just something they like. But can't go a single day without.

Smart thing would be to let TMZ spread out hot gossips. But at least I hope this DJ affair stays in one thread.

[diehllane]

Okay.
I'm going to put an end to the speculation.
Just got a text from The Great One.
He said it is NOT cocaine.
DJ is heading to Cleveland to play basektball with Lebron.
Lebron tracked him down at Firestone and that's why the statement came out so suddenly this week.

Hey man let's go watch the screening of Reefer Madness! It's a new 35mm print!!

Image. It looks bad for the PGA Tour. He is representing them everywhere he goes. It's just like why some companies have clauses in contracts about not wearing your work uniform to afterwork social functions (like Happy Hour)

No idea about DJ.

But narcotics addiction and trfafficking results in death, bloodshed, killing of innocents. Thousands upon thousands of lost lives, destroyed families, murders.

No surprise they don't want people doing coke and playing/representing them and demand proof.

HSBC laundered money for the Mexican drug cartel and god knows who else and they are a PGA Tour sponsor.

Dont forget Arthur Andersen, Countrywide, oh and Allianz insured numerous facilities for the Nazis.

Mine aren't either.
I spent a little bit of time laundering money for the Bratva when I was in college.

Actually fools like you that cannot have an opinion of their own are what's embarrassing. Do a little research before you speak. I know it's hard to accept some stuff that you've believed in you're whole life but just compare it to the fact that Santa Claus doesn't exist.

In preparation for the jokes, save them as it's just a defense mechanism to fit in to with the crowd. Think outside the box for once my fellow golfers.

When Musicians get <clean> usually their music suffers. Hopefully this works out differently. If it's bad enough to leave millions on the table, (PGA Championship AND Fed Ex Cup to be missed) then I sincerely hope he gets it done.

[Bob57]

I love all the weed isn't addictive or doesn't impact your ability to function. Might want to check Colorado traffic arrests due to "smoke" since it became legal. The increase would seem to indicate it can impair (DWS)...I guess that is why they now have a swedish designed breathalizer for weed... Can't be a coincidence that police in Colorado and Washington are testing them...

Interesting that a photo of Dustin caddying for Paulina was taken down instantly after this announcement.. HHMMM
