Nancy Grace Debated Marijuana Legalization With 2 Chainz—And It Was Just As Ridiculous As You Would Imagine It To Be [VIDEO]

Nancy Grace invited rapper 2 Chainz to appear on her HLN show to debate the legalization of marijuana—to say it was entertaining would be an understatement.

Grace showed videos of parents trying to get their children to smoke weed and seemingly tried to pit the blame on 2 Chainz and other artists like him that promote the recreational use and legalization of the drug.

The HLN host acknowledged that 2 Chainz—real name Tauheed Epps—was a 4.0 student who went to college on a basketball scholarship before asking him why he still supported the legalization of marijuana.

2 Chainz was clearly the more rational person in this debate and offered up this response:

You will find some footage like this, but everybody is not doing this. Some people actually love their child. Some people know that it’s obviously wrong, so this is nothing to really argue about; these people are obviously imbeciles. You can’t use this case to define an entire community.

This isn't the first time rappers, music, movies, or media has been "blamed" (#PotToBlame) for isolated incidents involving violence, alcohol, or drug use—and it definitely won't be the last.

The truth is, 2 Chainz is no more responsible for illegal marijuana usage than Hank Williams, Jr. is for drunk driving, or James Bond moves are for school shootings.

If Nancy Grace allows an image of 2 Chainz smoking a blunt to generalize him as a guy who doesn't care about children, then allow this image from a visit to our studios last year to generalize him as a loving father who really cares about making twin kids happy with autographed $2 bills.

It's almost irresponsible for Nancy Grace to imply that people who smoke pot aren't capable of properly raising children or getting a home loan (that actually happened) and putting the blame on artists like 2 Chainz for the reckless behavior of others.

Not only is it irresponsible—its actually pretty lazy.

With more and more pot users "coming out" that don't fit the mold of the stereotypical "stoner" (think back to the shady characters depicted in our D.A.R.E. class videos)—not to mention many states legalizing recreational marijuana use—Nancy Grace using isolated incidents such is comedic and flat out dated.

What do you think? Is Nancy Grace out of line, or is 2 Chainz to blame? Comment below now!
