Did Arnold smoke Cannabis at the end of Pumping Iron?
Disclaimer: This question contains drug references not suitable for younger users1.
I remember watching Pumping Iron (1977) and I was only young when I saw it.
At the end of the film, there was a scene where Arnold and his colleagues are chilling in a room and celebrating Lou Ferrigno's birthday, during which Arnold lets loose and has a smoke.
Being young, I assumed this was a tobacco cigarette, but later (recently) I heard that it was actually a Marijuana "joint".
Did Arnold smoke tobacco or marijuana in Pumping Iron?
