Does Greg Kelly SMOKE WEED? Inside Newsmax host's past controversies after shocking Nairobi drug experience

'Every time Greg tweets from this account, I have to check and make sure that it's actually his account and not some spoof. Why is Greg so fucking weird?' asked one scoail media user

Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly shocked the Internet with his latest revelation about what happened when he tried cannabis for the first time. Kelly has previously been in news for criticizing New York's legalization of recreational marijuana. Understandably, the Internet does not know what to do with his baffling claim. Pretty much everyone who saw it mocked it. Social media wrote saying he definitely took something stronger than cannabis, while one wondered if Kelly’s account was a parody one.

"SMOKING WEED (aka GRASS) is NOT a good idea. I’ve tried it (back in the day) and it was WORSE than anything that happened to HUNTER BIDEN. I “toked up” with some buddies in Kentucky and woke up 4 days later in Nairobi, Kenya. With no idea what happened. DON’T DO DRUGS," Kelly tweeted.

Past controversies

If one were to see Kelly's account, this cannot be the strangest statement to come out of it. For instance, the time he cooked up a fuss saying that President Joe Biden did not actually own his dogs Champ and Major. Kelly went on to add that he had never seen a dog like this in the White House before, saying that he needs a bath, a combing, and lots of love and care. He jeered that he is unsure of how much love and care Champ is actually getting from the present president's family. Now after there was news of Major having bit another person in the White House, he doubled down on those claims and tweeted: "I  told you guys THAT DOG wasn’t “presidential” material !!!! THE DOG BIT ANOTHER PERSON!! THESE DOGS ARE PART OF SOME PHONY “ARRANGEMENT” For OPTICS. JOE, GIVE THE DOGS TO A FAMILY WHO CAN CARE FOR THEM!!!!"

Previously, he has also railed against his local McDonald’s — which he insisted on spelling as “MacDonalds” — for no longer serving the “McFish” sandwich.

According to a news report, on January 25, 2012, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance's office started investigating an accusation against Kelly, suggesting that he has raped a woman in her Wall Street law office in October, 2011. Manhattan prosecutors then decided to drop the charges against Kelly following an investigation into a woman's allegations that he raped her. "I am thankful that the investigation established what I've known all along, that I am innocent of the allegations that were waged against me," Kelly said in a statement, according to the New York Daily News.

After this recent tweet on cannabis, one Internet user said, "Of the 9.5% of the population that use marijuana, roughly 30% live with some form of a marijuana use disorder. In the most extreme cases, addiction can be present, but usually individuals are on the lower end of the use disorder spectrum." While another one wrote, "If you were in Kentucky and woke up four days later in Nairobi, Kenya, it wasn’t weed. Sounds like your “buddies in Kentucky” roofied you and that you need to find some new friends."

While another one explained, ""I “toked up” with some buddies in Kentucky and woke up 4 days later in Nairobi, Kenya." You were smoking PCP, hoss. Weed gives you couchlock and makes you spend hours watching cartoons on Adult Swim. Completely different thing." Another one joked, "I smoked the Devil’s Lettuce once with some buddies at my mom’s place in East Nairobi.. woke up 4 days later and still none of us could think of a good reason to visit Kentucky."

Another one asked, "Every time Greg tweets from this account, I have to check and make sure that it's actually his account and not some spoof. Why is Greg so fucking weird?" While another one cleared, "That's cocaine, the most dangerous thing weed made me do was raid the cupboards for snacks."
 

Journalist Andrew Joseph pointed out, "Dude’s claiming weed made him blackout for 4 days while simultaneously being able to book an international flight and navigate multiple layovers." While another one said, "And then he WENT INTO the NAIROBI McDONALDS and he DEMANDED a McFISH because he had the “MUNCHIES” and they told him there’s no such thing and he called their MANAGER."
