None of them. Ryan seems like he might on special occasions. If any of the Whiskey crew smokes with any kind of regularity, it's Rorie. I'm looking forward to hearing all of their reactions come November if it's legalized in Cali.
They said on one of their Podcasts, maybe the one before PAX, that they are one of the few gaming podcasts that do not drink or smoke prior to recording. Their jokes and banter is faaar too witty for them to be on anything.
Being a regular smoker myself, I've thought the same thing once or twice.
I'm really not sure though to be honest. At the very least, they all seem tolerant of it. They are most definitely not tolerant of the 'xx420KINDBUDxx' fuckwits though.. and neither am I. They give a terrible name to those of us who are responsible, mature smokers.
I doubt it. Some of them might still have some work to get done afterward. Alex Navarro on the other hand, probably goes through an eightball just to get to lunch.
@FluxWaveZ: 0 times a day. All forms of liquid that aare digested by Brad are used to steam power the engine in the back of his throat which is what powers his deep voice.
" But how many people think giantbomb crew smokes weed? especially before the podcast? "
So...why the fuck did you ask this again? "
Because he was curious? Ease up man, it was just a question.
I'd like to add something in addition to my previous post:
As much as I am a supporter of marijuana and consider it to be on the same level as alcohol (if not better), it wouldn't be a good idea for them to make this knowledge public. Marijuana is such a taboo (STILL) that it would likely to a tonne of damage to their reputation.
That said, CheapyD of CheapAssGamer is open about his smoking and it doesn't seem to have hurt him any. Infact if anything, him being more transparent about who he is has helped him become who he is today.
So yeah, tough decision to make on whether or not to be open about things like this. If you were playing it safe, you'd keep it to yourself.

That depends how you look at it I guess.
For some people who are fans of the GB crew and have a love for cannabis, knowing someone in the crew smoked might be interesting to know. In much the same way as people who ask other questions about the GB crew. Just because it's related to cannabis doesn't mean it should be immediately dismissed as a 'stupid question'.

Regardless of how you look at the stupidity/validity of the question, Jeff has already called potheads "fucking assholes", and most of GB is extremely anti-weed, so it wasn't a very smart question to ask in these forums anyway.

See I'm going to have to disagree there. I've picked up a completely different vibe from the GB crew.
As I said in my first post in this topic, I think the GB crew are tolerant of cannabis smokers, but aren't fans of the idiots on XBL who are all 'yo 420 bro wassuuuup'. Neither am I. Those are the people Jeff has said are 'fucking arseholes' (though I don't think he actually used those words).
Stoners think other people are stoners too. It's a shocking turn of events and certainly not because being stoned to the gills fucks with your sense of reality. Of course not.

Yea he did call them that at one point, I don't know what bombcast it was, but he did use those words.
Second, it just seems like a stupid question to ask. Like, what does he think, one of the crew is going to come into his topic and be all like, "YO DUDE I JUST SMOKED A JOINT WEED POWER BRO AIGHT IM OUT"? I mean, for real, dude, just a stupid flamebait topic as far as I can see.
" @InfamousBIG: You, sir, have nothing constructive to comment, ever. Will you someday? Let me check... Mmm, sorry, nothing about that, I do see progeny and... autism? Yeah that's it. "
Oh, well you're not a hypocrite at all, are you?
And sorry that I couldn't contribute to such a wonderful thread. I can obviously help out the OP in his honorable search of knowledge because I stalk the crew constantly and know their every move.
@demontium: none of them do it beforehand as that'd easily be out of the question. Rorie might seeing as how he denounced that anti drug add, and that totally sounds like what someone would say. I imagine Alex has done it before, and Probably Dave. Jeff has said he doesn't and Brad probably doesn't either. Ryan and Vinny might who knows
" Y'all come back to me in 10 years when the paranoia hits and you're well on to your way to psychosis. "
*sigh* Maybe in 10 years you won't be so ignorant. "
Yeah, actually do some research before you talk to me. I have smoked. I have been paranoid. I speak from experience. It changes brain chemistry in some cases and a lot more people than you might realise are actually susceptible to these effects. Weed isn't a safe drug. There are no safe drugs. Legal or otherwise.

Ok mate. I'm also speaking from experience - I've been smoking for 13 years.
And no, cannabis isn't a safe drug if you smoke it. Smoke does bad things to the lungs.
Anyway, I'm not going to post in this topic anymore as it's just going to go back and forth with neither of us giving any quarter to each other. I've done it a million times before.
