Josh Gordon Troubles
-
"The point is, to say "everybody does it," or "most people have tried it" are both INCORRECT. The truth is, the MINORITY of Americans ever use marijuana. I hate when people try to normalize the sh**. It IS addictive, it DOES have terrible side effects, and it RUINS people's lives...
The only people who say marijuana is harmless are marijuana users. It's called "denial" people... "
Dude, I'm sorry, but you could not be more wrong. Like poeticG said, easily over 50% of Americans have or still smoke weed. First and foremost, you cannot become physically addicted to marijuana, only psychologically addicted. Anyone can become psychologically addicted to anything. Second of all, it has terrible side effects? The only side effect people commonly get from smoking marijuana, is paranoia, and that wouldn't be a side effect if it was legalized. You seriously need to do some research, marijuana does not ruin lives. I'm sorry, but that statement is so false and so stupid it almost hurts. Marijuana does not ruin people's lives, it SAVES lives. People have cured their cancer with hemp oil. Marijuana is also an ailment for so many other countless diseases or illnesses. Overall marijuana is arguably the best, most natural medicine on this entire planet. Also "the only people who say marijuana is harmless, are marijuana users", what seriously? What about the latest studies on marijuana? The scientists who conduct the studies most-likely do not smoke. I know countless people who don't smoke who are perfectly okay with people using it because they know it is harmless and how beneficial it is. Honestly, you'd have to be a spoon-fed sheep to think that marijuana is bad for you. Yes I think that Josh Gordon is stupid for not following NFL protocol and risking his entire career and those massive pay-checks to smoke weed. It sucks though because within a couple years, marijuana will be allowed in the NFL and all he had to do was wait a couple years...awh well.
FYI... I am a licensed chemical dependency counselor, not only in Ohio but in 108 different countries. I treat people "psychologically addicted" to marijuana, and many of their lives have been ruined, just as bad as the heroin addicts I also treat.
Heroin is also one of the best treatments for pain to ever exist... so it is harmless? Sure, marijuana helps treat symptoms as well... but do most of its users use it for that reason? Do you?
I posted what I posted b/c of my own experiences with marijuana, and the experiences I have been a part of for nearly the past decade as a front-line addiction counselor. You have nothing but biased newspaper reports and your own enjoyment of the drug, and your own bias toward a substance that makes you feel better about yourself... you have obviously never watched marijuana completely destroy an individual's life, so maybe you need to do a little research...
Plus, the "physical addiction" vs. "psychological addiction" debate... seriously people... I could argue that physical addiction can be treated in 7 days, but then why do people relapse after 30-90 days sober? Ding Ding... it's because they're psychologically dependent on the substance and have not found more positive ways to cope with their life...
Also, comparing marijuana to alcohol is comparing apples to oranges. There is NOTHING similar about those two substances, other than they produce "euphoria," but even the way they produce it in the brain is different. You may not "believe it" and maybe you'll need to do "a little research" but the impairment caused by alcohol is eliminated after a very short period of time, while impairment (particularly judgement, decision making, coordination, and balance) caused by marijuana can last up to 10 days after using...
Seriously, if you have any other misconceptions that need cleared up... I do this for a living, so it will cost you. I charge hourly...

i agree with a lot of what you've said.....
BUT you mean to tell me that you'd rather deal with someone that has been drinking all night compared to someone that has blazed a couple of doobies?
i've never in my 40+ years of doing and dealing with recreational drugs have seen someone driving impaired from weed that equals that of someone driving that has consumed alcohol. if anything the marijuana users slow down, stay in the right hand lane and usually put their turn signal on way too soon.
and you could be dr. oz for all i care but you will never convince me that weed is addictive. do people that like to smoke weed like to smoke it everyday day? of course. will they get a little grumpy if they don't have it for a couple of days? of course.
but in no way is it like a cold-turkey cold-shakes come off of a drug like H or now in pill form oxy, or meth or crack etc. etc........including booze.
marijuana is chump change. don't call it addictive because people enjoy using it. call them spoiled...and rich.
off balance after 10 days of smoking? you might want to take the dude to the hospital to see if he had a stroke that had nothing to do with smoking cheeba.
how much do you charge for your time? $100/hr?
i'll take cash.

Let's just say all the board regulars will be there for the Ratbird game. Besides the Brits, that includes me and Zombo.
PS Mik- don't argue with guys that do drug counseling for a living- he's seen more basket cases in a month than you probably have in your entire life.

damn hoorta, how do you do it? i mean be nice and all?

Of course the counselor is gonna cry foul....its his job.
I'll just sit back and laugh at those who've little to no experience with drugs that rail how bad they are.
Maybe I'm in the minority....but perhaps the problem is the person rather than the drug. Lazy, unmotivated people will be regardless of drug use or not.
Why is alcohol legal? It kills more people ever year than any other drug. Destroys families just the same. Is there any other reason besides legality that alcohol abuse is minimized compared to other drugs? Cause you're cooling yourself if you think pots illegal because it'd dangerous. Cocaine is severely addicting yet its a schedule 2 drug. Pots a schedule 1.
I've done more drugs in my day than most if not all of you, didn't control my life. Id contend that those that do are weak minded pussies that would be failures with or without abuse.

Shut up druggie.

doubt it.
it is all about the person. i tripped almost everyday through my junior to senior year in HS. it was at the point of i needed 3 hits of mesc or acid (what was available at the time) to get me high again. a lot of people couldn't handle the fact that they were hallucinating and it was all the effect of the drug.
just cuz you can handle alcohol or drugs doesn't make it legal. i remember screaming at a 6'7" tall cop from the back seat of a police car saying i'd whoop his ass if he'd take the handcuffs off my 170 lb. ass.
and i still wonder to this day why he looked at me in the rearview and just laughed.

Time to recap Gordon's litany of crimes:
1. Smoking marijuana while being in the NFL
2. Driving with a BAC 0.9 in a state in which 0.8 is legal.
Thug! Retard!
Who makes these choices at 23?
Should never be allowed the privilege of playing in the NFL again!
Zombo

we get it Z.
too bad he doesn't.
maybe he needs some white friends?
