supremebve Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 So stupid, from him and for him, get rid of the stupid rules unless it's actually messing up their lives. Burn-out style. I agree with this. We are at a strange time where what the rules are and how people view the rules are clearly different. When it seems like the public perception of marijuana usage is somewhere between who cares, and let them smoke if they want. I think that this issue is actually going to get worse in the next couple of years. It is legal in multiple states, and seems like it is going to be legal in more and more states in the near future. Players are going to smoke weed legally or illegally, because society is getting to the point where it is accepted. The NFL already changed their rules, but they may get to the point where they have to stop testing for marijuana altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I don't disagree with the sentiment, but the only problem I could see is if a dumbass pothead got on the field high, and was seriously injured as a result. Probably a long shot, and it shouldn't stop a policy reform. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Not as bad as being drunk, but still not the brightest idea. Most potheads I've known had no inclination to drive anywhere when they were going to be high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Not as bad as being drunk, but still not the brightest idea. Most potheads I've known had no inclination to drive anywhere when they were going to be high. My pothead associates are either people who never want to drive anywhere when high, or people who smoke exclusively in their car. I don't understand the people who smoke while driving, because your car is essentially the only place you'll ever be arrested for possession of weed. I was listening to an interview with the rapper Schoolboy Q and he was talking about why he doesn't have a drivers liscense. He said it was because he has a record and if he gets pulled over the cops can legally search or detain him and he just didn't want to go through that. That is essentially the equivalent to having a car that smells like weed. I'd be willing to bet that 90% of arrests for weed possession are based on a car search. No judge is signing warrants to search people's homes for bags of weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that goes on on a weekly basis for a majority of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I gotta say, when I was in high school I played streetball at the park almost every day and I did smoke weed every day and honestly? I played better. I could power through the minor things that if I was sober would slow me down. Shot was more consistent too. I don't think it's enough positive to make it considered a PED but I do feel like if anything, it helps not hinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 It should be a requirement, like TRT will be starting in 2025. Don't ask why high school water polo players need Testosterone injections, they just do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Falcons to lose a fifth-round pick in 2016 for piping in crowd noise. Browns' GM to be suspended for the first four weeks of 2015 for texting coaches on the sideline during games. Apparently the league thought it best to let the Browns keep their draft picks so they could punish themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
