The "World's Fastest Stoner" Was Not Fast Enough to Qualify for the Olympics

Chris Barnicle finished dead last out of 105 people hoping to qualify for the U.S. Men's Olympic Marathon team. His finishing time was 3:45:34, that's pretty fast for a casual runner but, according to FloTrack, it was also the slowest time for an Olympic qualifying marathon since 2000. 

He used to be a professional runner but since slowing down after an injury, he has gotten into the edible marijuana business. Barnicle even calls himself the "World's Fastest Stoner". That name actually might be true, he did win a pot-themed marathon in San Francisco just last year. 

He ended up having a hard time during the race, cramping up and falling down around mile 22.

While he won't comment on whether he had drugs in his system at the time, he most likely had these issues due to dehydration. Rumors circulated that he planned to have PBR waiting for him at water stations to refuel but the truth was that he didn't bring anything.
