Tim Lincecum Is Super Awesome; Has Pot.

NO WAY. REALLY? The guy that looks like he totally smokes weed ends up being a guy that “totally smokes weed”? Nice work there, Sherlock. Why don’t you accuse The Hulk of being “muscly” or the sky for being “far away and blue”? Dumbasses. How long did that one take to figure out?

Dude got pulled over in Washington state, too. That’s like: the ultimate place to smoke pot in. No, really. That’d be like reading the Bible poolside in Nazareth. But better. And there’d be pot involved. Anyway, dear Manolith reader, there really isn’t much of a story here. Tim Lincecum smokes pot. Big deal. Anyone who saw his commercial for the 2K games a while back could probably tell.

After all, what the hell else is there to do up in Washington, anyway? From The Columbian:

Tim Lincecum, star pitcher for the San Francisco Giants, is facing charges of misdemeanor possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia use after being stopped for speeding on I-5 last week.

At 8:23 a.m. Oct. 30, Washington State Patrol trooper and spokesman Steve Schatzel said, a motorcycle trooper working with a laser device timed a 2006 Mercedes Benz doing 74 mph northbound in Hazel Dell near Northeast 78th Street — where the speed limit is 60 mph.

The trooper pulled the Mercedes over. When the driver, Lincecum, rolled down his window, the trooper smelled marijuana. He asked Lincecum to hand it over, and Lincecum reached into his dashboard console and produced a small pouch and a pipe, Schatzel said.

The amount was 3.3 grams, Schatzel said, which is considered only enough for personal use. Lincecum did not appear to be impaired behind the wheel and is not being charged with a felony crime, Schatzel said.
