Warriors' Nick Young says he was 'just joking' about legalizing cocaine image

Nick Young's championship celebration tour took a rather peculiar turn on Wednesday when TMZ posted a video of the Warriors guard advocating for the legality of cocaine. 

Young was surprised when informed that Canada had legalized recreational use of marijuana, and he wanted the United States to follow suit. But then he took it a step further.

"I want people to pass cocaine," Young told TMZ. "Everybody needs to do cocaine. (America's) next, the white."

After the video was posted, Young explained on his Instagram account that he was joking and asked his followers not to take his comments seriously. 

 

 

Chill. You know I was just joking

One would think that Young has learned to watch what he says on camera years ago.
