A lot of times when they do stumble upon something like this they just throw it away (or keep it) and let the passenger go. Not worth all the trouble just for a personal use amount. TSA is worried about people blowing up the fucking plane, not sneaking a toke in the bathroom. And honestly, that's the way it should be.

There won't be any changes to the NFL weed laws. It will be banned regardless if were legalized in all states.
Not so fast there, diehard. Marijuana is an effective pain reliever without the physical addiction component of opioid pain relievers. I think the league would be remiss if they didn't evaluate the substantial research available on the effectivenss of pot as an analgesic. Already there are effective marijuana creams that help with pain without the user getting "high"
as well, the feds are rattling their sabers as they consider whether to come after the league for questionable control and custody issues involving opioids and player injury treatment.

I hope you have more "substantial research." I read that article and a study with only 21 paricipants with no significant statistical outcomes is not exactly a convincing way to try and change how we treat pain.
I know marijuana has some benefits but the long-term side efffects are still just as bad, if not worse, than other medications, particularly for athletes.

i wouldn't risk bringing anything on a plane, for personal use or not. fucking with the tsa is something you don't want to do.
just do what my friend does. stick it in a fedex package and have that shipped to you at your destination.
done.

Or, just not be a stupid fuck and not do it.

Does anyone else remember when Chris Perez (former Indians' closer) got busted for having a pound of weed shipped to his house and addressed to him?
Fortunately, the MLB doesn't give two shits about weed use.

fedex is privately owned and they don't have dogs at their hub.
you would be a fool to stick a bag, a joint, some wax in a envelope and send it presuming it would get there ok using any type of transpo.
certain precautions must be taken.

they'll ignore it just like the fact that they owe NYC millions of dollars in unpaid traffic tickets.

Browns have no plans to cut Josh Gordon
Jul 21 2014, 9:47 PMGordon Brunt
Despite the offseason troubles surrounding Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, his spot with the team isn't in jeopardy according to head coach Mike Pettine.
Speaking with the Akron Beacon Journal, Pettine confirmed Gordon's position with the team and the Browns' desire to assist the 23-year-old.
"Josh is a Cleveland Brown. We want to do what’s best for him. We have a player that potentially needs help," Pettine said. "Whether it’s him or whether it’s anybody else that wears the uniform, if we can help, we’ll help.
"We want to make our decisions always, what’s best for the player, and you try to marry it with what’s best for the team. So that’s why I don’t think that cutting him, while it may have worked for some other people, I don’t know if that’s the necessarily the best option here. It might be the worst option for both -- for us and for him. We’re going to wait and see what happens and then act accordingly.”
The first incident to plague Gordon during the offseason was a failed drug test when he reportedly tested positive for marijuana, his second such offense, and awaits a hearing to determine his suspension. The second occurred weeks later when he received a speeding ticket while his passenger was charged with marijuana possession. And the latest ensued earlier this month when he was arrested for a DWI offense.
Pettine was reluctant to talk about the assistance the team will provide for the troubled wideout, and expects a resolution to Gordon's appeal hearing, pertaining to his possible suspension, to materialize over the next two weeks.
Pettine continued and explained his thought process when asked about the possibility of a season-long suspension
“I’ve heard everything, all the possibilities, so it’s just gotten to the point where it is what it is. We’ve planned for everything, and we’re ready to go. I don’t want that to be a huge dark cloud hanging over everything and we’ve hung our hopes on it. Typical coach mentality: Expect the worst, hope for the best.”

Attaboy Pettine! That's what I'm talking about. For ANY other team, if they had a game changer, a game breaker, or an elite player they would not cut them. People just want to keep the Browns down and cutting Josh Gordon would be akin to doing just that. Whether he's suspended or cut he won't be on the field. So why not wait until he's able and put the monster back on the gridiron in Orange and Brown? Hell, Mike Vick slaughtered dogs and he's out there on Sundays. Josh smokes a joint and drinks a beer ! CUT HIS ASS !
Thanks Mike, you removed a huge burden I've been carrying for a while since this all went down. Kudos Coach. Your first test has been passed, stand with your team.

No, Pettine is just using common sense. Let's assume worst case scenario- Jordon get the indefinite- (meaning one year) ban. Sure, I can see getting him the rehab and counseling he desperately needs. I would hope in the meantime Gordon reaches out to guys like Chris Carter and Michael Irvin who managed to turn things around.
BUT PG- Gordon is assuredly down to his last strike with the Browns (and possibly the entire NFL) if he fucks up while he's suspended. If he likes ganga better than the big bucks he can earn in the NFL- he can go to the Caribbean and smoke it to his heart's content with the other drug poster boy Ricky Williams. In the meantime, he's pissed away a few ten $$$million. Your choice Josh.

well they said the decision is going to take place within this upcoming 2 week period, and after the decision he expects gordon to show up in berea. my guess then is he is put in a van and taken to the airport under supervised care/guard and flown to high swag rehab.
if his suspension is less than the whole year then he's pulled a rabbit out of his ass.
i mean look at what happened to aldon smith. gun possession in airport, dui, some other charge and he gets 18 days in jail and a slap on the wrist. me or you we'd been looking at years.
man i guess OJ got it right....the first time. celebs can get away with murder.

True... but he's using common sense in the face of pressure from a chunk of the fan base that feel betrayed by Josh and want him gone.
Not to mention a chunk of his player base according to some reports. Something Pettine will likely have to address in the opening team meeting.
-
can't cut that talent. rehab/straight and narrow/choose new friends/all-time best teammate.
first fuck up bye. then NO ONE will touch him...which is our greatest concern right now.
-
At least we have a time frame for actual news/ punishment.
-
Appeal coming August 1st... I can't believe it took this long, but at least we know when we'll get an answer.
-
1 year suspension, mandatory rehab, 1 year aftercare program (random piss tests), AA meetings, etc.
-
That is just the hearing date. I have been involved in any number of hearings where the decision thereon was not made until months afterward. In this case though I do think there is a deadline...that being Game 1 of the regular season.
