It’s a white cigar, people. That’s the official word from Lamar Odom’s camp and the Lakers.

We don’t make the stuff up.

    White cigar? Lol. Yeah… and his new wife is attractive.

  • J-Dizzle says:

    Ummmm… who cares? It’s also Star Magazine. That’s like reading the National Inquirer and believing it.

    • JANIS CARR, OCREGISTER.COM says:

      Exactly. But Odom’s agent did issue a response, not a denial that he was there.

      • J-Dizzle says:

        First question is… where is there? Secondly, its easy for a tabloid such as Star to embelish and make things up as far as what “people are saying and claiming” because some pap took a little picture that they could stir something off of. Watch Tosh.0 on Comedy Central and you’ll see what I mean.

    If true, this is a disappointment and a disgrace.

    • J-Dizzle says:

      Hardly… it’s not like steroids in baseball. Bout the only thing herb is going to do is mellow you out and give you a bad case of the munchies later. Only time it might be is if you put a big hershey bar at the end of a run.

      • chibi says:

        If true, it’s a disappointment because one would think Odom had become more disciplined; and it’s a disgrace because he just came off a banner season and inked a lucrative contract.

        I’m not sure what the rules are, but I believe Odom has had violations before, and violation #3 is a 5 game suspension, I think. This is the kind of incident that’ll prompt a drug test.

  • joel says:

    Its weed. Lamar Odom is definitely a weed smoker.

  • The disappointment and disgrace is that white cigars are still taboo.

    But the real question is, looking at that photo, what is that girl sitting down in front of him kind of bent over the table doing? I’ve seen that position at many a raging party…

    Medical Marijuana is already legal in the state of California, and there are 4 initiatives currently getting signatures that will be on next years ballots to legalize marijuana for recreational use for adults 21 and over. That will also pass, so get used to it. Alcohol is much more harmful to the body and society in general, so let’s put marijuana smoking in perspective (if that is even what he is lighting up, as we have no proof) .

    Both of my uncles have been hand-rolling their cigarettes with WHITE zig-zag papers for the last 20 years, and guess what they LOOK JUST LIKE marijuana joints but it’s all tobacco. His agent is referring to a “white cigar” is exactly that, a hand rolled “white cig.”….

    There is no way for any of us to know what was in it. Even if it was MJ, it’s not a big deal (as millions of hard working professional Americans smoke cannabis for recreational purposes, and others for medical reasons (athletes included)) nor any of our business what he wants to do on his summer vacation.

    Enough with the reefer madness. It’s not like he was hitting a crack pipe.

    A white cigar?

    Lakers are saying it was a white cigar.

    To confirm that, I googled ‘white cigar’ and guess what I found?

    A Montecristo White Cigar - Is it white? No, just the box.

    So where can I buy one, ……legally?

  • LakerMike says:

    I think Lamar has learned enough to stay away from weed, besides he’s a candy-holic now. He does have camera’s following him around, honestly does anyone actually believe he’d come off a championship and a new marriage and throw it all away lighting up blunts at a dinner party surrounded by paparazzi & guests…
