I completely agree that there's no harm in a little weed now and again. But he's a role-model, and you can hardly be surprised by the media snapping this up and sensationalizing it. And of course mom and pop are going to react with shock and outrage. The bottom line is, he was naive to think he could do it with other people around and not have it get out. Everybody is watching him, waiting for him to do something wrong. They'd love to believe he's only human, no better or even worse than themselves in some regards.
