Promotional activities halted after G-Dragon tested positive for marijuana . Though a urine test back in August came back negative , a weak positive for marijuana was detected from testing the content of his hair in October . Since it was his first recorded offense with a minuscule amount of the drug , it resulted in an indictment and he was not charged . He later claimed to have accepted a cigarette offered by a fan in Japan during a party back in May , but after realizing it was not a normal cigarette , threw it away . Because he was not charged , he did not lose any endorsers and made his first public appearance after the scandal at the 2011 MTV EMAs with his group
