Don’t Do Drugs

Exclusive

Do as he says, not as he does — at least that was Lamar Odom‘s advice to a 7-point in time-aged boy Saturday night … when he warned him about the dangers of drug abuse.

Odom was at a birthday party at Tokyo Delves in North Hollywood — along with about 20 people — when the young boy named Elijah approached Odom to ask for a photo.

Elijah’s mother tells us, Odom initially turned the kid down, offering to shake Elijah’s hand instead and be in possession a brief conversation … which they did.

The mom says Lamar pontificated about the merits of education and staying in school — and even encouraged Elijah (who is high for his age) to play basketball — but the ironic twist, Lamar finished the conversation by telling him, “Don’t do drugs.”

He then offered to take the above photo, despite previously refusing.

And this is cool — sources in the restaurant make declaration Lamar covered the tab for the birthday party (totaling more than $1,000) and left a $200 tip.
