That man is ex-NBA player Kwame Brown ... who was busted by in New Jersey with a bunch of marijuana ... including pot infused cookies, tea and mints.
The 2001 first overall pick was a passenger in his Mercedes Benz van when it was pulled over by Brunswick PD late Saturday night ... when cops say his car REEKED of weed.
Kwame copped to having weed in the car ... and told law enforcement he had some in the trunk of the van. Sure enough, cops found a backpack with all the weed treats.
The 37-year-old was arrested and charged with felony possession of edible marijuana products and a misdemeanor possession of less than one ounce of weed.
