Deranged Rhino Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Link Do you think pot caused him to be so stupid that he told the court he smoked pot? It sure didn't cure him from stupidity. Maybe he didn't smoke the stupid curing pot. I'll comment on this, because this is a completely ridiculous story and I'm usually a completely ridiculous person: It's a poorly kept secret that a lot of players in the League partake. So long as a player doesn't test positive, they are only tested once a year -- by August at the absolute latest. The guys who smoke (or vap) cleanse and abstain until they test, once they pass they spark back up for the rest of the year knowing they're in the clear. Let's say AP is one of the 49% of players who partake (that number is a guess but a conservative one), he passed his test in August and -- considering the stress he's probably been enduring since this whole story broke -- there were probably more than a few times when he self medicated. This story broke less than 30 days ago, including the arrest. Weed stays in your system for 30+ days. Imagine you've been under the microscope the way AP has since this ordeal began and you knew you were going to piss positive, I can understand how in that situation you'd say something up front about what they're going to find. That in no way means he smoked since his arrest, let alone right before his hearing. Regardless of how you feel about the drug and it's effects, it's in the final days of its prohibition. As a District Attorney part of the job is to exercise judgement, calling for his bail to be revoked is sensationalizing and already sensationalized story and reeks of a political move by a DA who wants to take as much of the limelight for himself as he can. And the media's treatment of this story just further underlines how ridiculous the fourth estate has become. Edited October 10, 2014 by GreggyT

He probably "smoked a little weed" just like the guy who gets pulled over for weaving all over the road "had one beer".
Deranged Rhino Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 He probably "smoked a little weed" just like the guy who gets pulled over for weaving all over the road "had one beer". Even if he did, he wasn't operating a motor vehicle. Unless you count Mario Kart. Which should totally count.
4merper4mer Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 There is a disease call racial tension in Missouri. Can pot cure this Bob or did pot cause it?
Deranged Rhino Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 There is a disease call racial tension in Missouri. Can pot cure this Bob or did pot cause it? Oh, pot can cure racial tension. It's my second choice though on how to combat the issue. The first choice (which I can't claim as my own but I still think is the best) is for everyone to just keep f*cking everyone else and sooner or later we'll all be the same color anyway. Sex and pot. The best cures for racial strife.
Chef Jim Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Oh, pot can cure racial tension. It's my second choice though on how to combat the issue.

The best cures for racial strife. Huh? The white man has been !@#$ing the black man for centuries and we still have racial strife.
Deranged Rhino Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Huh? The white man has been !@#$ing the black man for centuries and we still have racial strife. Only because the white man has been doing it wrong, they've been f*cking over everyone else when they need to be actually inside them to be of help. Again, pot would help with this.

Tiberius Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Yes, I know all my sexual relationships have been completely free of strife. Your hand is strife free?
bbb Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 There is a disease call racial tension in Missouri. Can pot cure this Bob or did pot cause it? Autopsy says that Michael Brown was high on pot, so he was doing his part.
DC Tom Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Your hand is strife free? That's the best you could do? That tired, old cliche? You at least could have been original, and said "your dog" or "your picnic table." You're such an idiot.
Deranged Rhino Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Autopsy says that Michael Brown was high on had pot in his system, so he was doing his part. Big difference.
/dev/null Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Autopsy says that Michael Brown was high on pot, so he was doing his part. Cofuseious say man standing on toilet is high on pot

DC Tom Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Big difference. No, the autopsy said he was high, based on THC measurements in his blood. Admittedly, that has to be taken with a very large grain of salt, as the correlation between THC blood serum levels and impairment are still very poorly defined. People are working on it, as people are starting to realize that "legalized marijuana" means that "driving while impaired" laws have to take in to account a deterministic measurement of impairment by marijuana. One would think that would be easy, but the only certain method - offer them tickets to a Tom Petty concert, and see if they attend - doesn't work reliably on dead people, largely because of difficulties in identification in distinguishing corpses from Tom Petty himself.
DC Tom Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Where did Bob go? He took his ball and went home, because we refused to bow to his brilliance and demeaned him for attempting to educate us ignorant bumpkins.
Bob in Mich Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Sanjay Gupta's new Weed 3 special will be on this Sunday, April 19th, at 9pm eastern on CNN. In this article he talks about the upcoming show. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/16/opinions/medical-marijuana-revolution-sanjay-gupta/index.html From the article: There is now promising research into the use of marijuana that could impact tens of thousands children and adults, including treatment for cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer's, to name a few. With regard to pain alone, marijuana could greatly reduce the demand for narcotics and simultaneously decrease the number of accidental painkiller overdoses, which are the greatest cause of preventable death in this country.
