Ezekiel Elliott caught some flak this week from his employer, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, after he was seen visiting a Seattle weed dispensary before his NFL debut. Jones didn't like it one bit, repeatedly expressing his disappointment that "it was just not good" three times in a row.

Charles Barkley apparently doesn't like it either.

The Round Mound of Rebound, who claims in a Friday interview on Philadelphia's 94 WIP morning show with Howard Eskin, that he's "not a marijuana guy." Barkley backed up Jones' sentiment that the Cowboys rookie running back isn't starting off his NFL career on the right foot.

Barkley condemned smoking weed, and stated that Elliott is just as "stupid" as Ryan Lochte for his bad decision to be caught on video making an ill-advised decision. He even claimed the few times in his own life he smoked weed that it just made him get the munchies. It was complete nonsense looking back on his experience.

Here's what Chuck had to say in full about Elliott, via CSNPhilly.

"That’s just stupid, man. He’s got to be smarter than that. I mean, that’s just stupid. It’s like Ryan Lochte, that’s just stupid. Just tell the truth and apologize …

With Barkley's infamous bad work ethic during his NBA career, Barkley fans should be glad that he left greenery alone. Because if he smoked more weed back then, you can only imagine what those potato chips would have done to his physique.
