I don't think it is wrong now and then. I think it is less harmful then alcohol.

I think it should be legalized and taxes. That lowers crime and creates money to spend on schools and the like.

...and again, I don't smoke. I have a group of friends that did a lot in high school, but I never smoked. Medina was very different than Strongsville.

sure it's less harmful than alcohol and other drugs BUT if you don't like it move to a state where it's legalized and puff all you want, then go flip burgers or be the 'dude on the couch'.

Basically 80% of the posts since Gordon got Into trouble.

Maybe not, but the drug will continue to ruin lives, in the same way alcohol ruins people's lives. Especially, as idiots will continue to smoke and drive, just like idiots drink and drive and we will continue to see innocent drivers killed by the action of somebody addicted to a "high" that isn't even that great...

Lol the anti pot indoctrination is strong with this one. Marijuana isn't vilified because it's dangerous but because the paper companies didn't want to make the million dollar investment to convert to hemp (a far more renewable and sustainable resource than lumber). All they had to do was throw around a little campaign money and start telling people that "marijuana made white women want to be with black men".

Honestly I don't see how the comment is relevant. The fact is for now it is a crime. The fact is the guy has been suspended from his career for issues related to partying. The fact is today its still against the CBA drug policy. Its honestly sad a guy cant quit smoking weed long enough to regain a multi million dollar career.

i know anticlimactic right? actually i was hoping you wouldn't find out for another decade at least.

@kosar_for_president said:

Absolutely an idiotic comment.

What is idiotic is overlooking the simple fact that this man possibly had the opportunity to be in the Professional Football Hall of Fame someday and has pissed it away because the simple cocksucker can't stay away from the fucking weed. Come on man.

@mld-woody said:

in a word: money.

because no one has lobbied (paid off the politicians) hard or heavy enough to change the federal legislation for people to be able to buy or grow weed yet, such as how other companies have. right now annheuser - busch, phillip morris, and snapple like it how it is..to name a few.

yeah but he could totally possess it and toke when his schedule allows it. he didn't get busted driving stoned or failing a test. "possession"...which technically we're already there legally in several states if he had residency and was just owning it and not partaking it there is a way to have been in the US right now and do this totally legally, and not some rare loophole...like he could have this easily in one of those states. just not smoke until his job allows.

it blows my mind how different the states can be. they are really like their own little countries in essense.

@the-gipper said:

agree. that's basically the Ron Paul stance on drugs.

@diehardbrownsfan said:

Driving while stoned will still be a crime. And the NFL will still ban players from getting coming to work high at least during the season, just like not coming into practice drunk.

Inequality fixed...

so why is alcohol legal and weed not?

you could never be king of the world.

never ever ever ever EVER.

we'd blow it up first.

operating a vehicle, sure

coming to practice high, sure

But at all points during the season? I see no reason why. It isn't a "performance enhancing drug"

@utzie said:

At least someone is a bigger fuck-up than Gordon in the league.

Exactly... Not that Gordon can't end up where Justin has gone unless he snaps to it, but it does put the magnitude of Josh's current "problem" in perspective.

Whatever awaits Blackmon should only reinforce whatever awaits Josh. Hopefully that sum total is enough...

for an educated guy sometimes you come off as dumb as a rock. the point is it's illegal now.

10 years from now? hell, we might all be particle dust. you could be gettin ass raped like ving rhames in pulp fiction. i could be king of the world.

might. could. would. should. what if?

no fuck its illegal now, did I say anywhere it wasn't? Did I make any comment against him getting I'm any trouble now... No its cool I'll wait...

Eventually the drug will be legal. It sucks they're getting hit up on stupid laws. In the end though rules are rules, they knew what they were doing.
