    "These effects are reduced after three or four hours. However, marijuana hangs around in your system for as long as a month after smoking. The lingering effects mean you're impaired for several days to weeks after the high wears off."

    no. it doesn't mean you are feeling the effects of weed, it means it stays in your system and can be detected in piss tests.

  • So...how tough is it, for a player with a marred dope record, to make sure

    all of his prescriptions are okay with the NFL by checking with a team doctor?

    Hopefully, it's a legit mistake, but it cost him credibility, and one more mistake, costs him his career for a year?

    Why wouldn't the Browns tell him to check his meds out with the team doctor before all this?

    Oh well. The Browns have a far nicer, deeper group of receivers now. And Benjamin is drawing raves:

    from Rotoworld:

    *******************

    Brandon Weeden says second-year WR Travis Benjamin has "stuck out" in spring practices and praised Benjamin's route-running ability.

    Because Greg Little, Davone Bess, and David Nelson are all strict possession receivers, it's conceivable that burner Benjamin will be the primary beneficiary of Josh Gordon's suspension. "Travis had at least as many catches if not more than anybody in camp," Weeden said. "His route running is phenomenal, probably because he’s so fast. Guys have to honor him running by them."

    Yup- and having worked in a medical laboratory that did drug testing I can guarantee you that's 100% accurate.

    to the first part of your post, i would hope the browns INSIST going forward that gordon does anything connected with medical issues thru them from now on no matter how big or small. maybe they can even add something into his contract that will relieve him of monies if caught again. they might want to think of hiring a full-time babysitter for his ass as someone else had suggested.

    to your second part: sure the browns have become a little deeper at the WR position but gordon is our #1 and you just don't replace a guy like that with undersized speedy guys.

  • Oh, I know. the Browns will really have a tough time if they lose him for a year...

    but far worse if it had happened last year....

  • It's just a branch of another conversation, the notion that pot shouldn't be a banned substance as it becomes legal since it's way less physically harmful than alcohol. Again, that's what Dr. Drew cites as the biggest problem with pot addiction, the fact that it doesn't have the harmful side effects of alcohol, coke, Heroin, Ecstasy, etc.

    Most people either smoke a little or know a few dozen people who do... and see that there's no real downside assuming you aren't high and stupid all the time. And once something is made legal for medicinal purposes it gets really tough to say it's bad for you.

    I read that article by Cabot too, and in it she says Gordon will most likely be pushed into phase 3 of the program due to his past.

    My question is how is he already in phase 2 now?

    Was he automatically put into phase 2 coming into the league due to his trouble in college?

    It makes sense but from a legal standpoint a little unfair,I'm surprised the NFLPA doesn't have some kind of clause disallowing this.

    Guess this is a old news but with DQ and Banner comments the topic has came back to life a bit.

    In the PD today Terry Pluto said that Gordon has indeed had a prior offense in the NFL which they are not allowed to report since there is no suspension involved in the first violation.

    Also, the NFL is not allowed to disclose the drug involved in the suspension, so the only source reporting that the violation is for codeine cough syrup with a prescription is Josh Gordon.

    Not looking too good, one season and two drug offenses after three or four in college? Looks like # 3 is just a matter of time.

    He would be smart to hire a fulltime baby sitter to shield him from those people, places and things that trigger his need to get high.

    It worked for Josh Hamilton and others with similar situations. He has a lot at stake and if I were in his shoes I'd do just about anything

    to stay away from the banned substances including daily piss tests and some type of a controlled curfew where I'd be forced to be at home

    after a certain time.

  • He'll be all but forgotten in just a few years. What a shame.

    what are the tell tale signs that a piss sample has been tampered with? temperature?,specific gravity?

  • back in the day in the army they didn't have guys hawking you watching you actually take your junk out and piss.

    i used my enzyme cleaner (for contacts), put a nice big squirt of that on top of my piss and then shook it up before giving it to the handler.

    believe me, the guy probably threw it in the nearest trash can as soon as he could as it foamed up so much the top of the sample lid shot off like a bottle rocket.

    and no back then (in it's infancy) these guys that got called on to take and receive samples were usually low level supply sergeants and they had a lot more on their mind then sitting there watching in a latrine on a folding chair some guy going "i just pissed 2 minutes ago etc. etc". i'm sure they would have gladly had anyone walking down the hallway at that point come in and piss.
