Augie Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Legalize it because the states want their tax dollars. In California (and in CO) you can buy your own plants and grow yourself with the laws as they are now, you don't need to go to a dispensary but most do because we're Americans. We don't make stuff. We buy stuff other people made. That's funny. And true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Alcohol causes many more problems than Marijuana, yet we see multiple beer ads during games. Marijuana can also be used for pain tolerance, which in the NFL is necessary. But since it is against the rules the dude needs to be smarter about his use or not use it at all. Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug. It's illegal at the federal level. That's why it's a banned substance.

purple haze Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Truly a stoner attitude. I can count on one hand the number of times I've used marijuana. I don't drink either. But I have been around many people who do both; I have been around people who do both, some might say, too much. The alcohol was far more hazardous to those people AND the people they were around. I found MJ smokers mellow out, might lose some motivation and will eat up all the snacks, but are harmless. The alcohol usually led people to change, in various ways, many of them negative; fussing, fighting, being promiscuous, driving, etc. Obviously, people can drink and be just fine. Just from observation, in comparing users of the two, I have seen alcohol be infinitely more troublesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Son Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug. It's illegal at the federal level. That's why it's a banned substance. And that's addiction. Some people cope with food, is that addiction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's addiction. not for nuthin but are you well versed about hemp and cannabinoids ? I was at A TEDx talk recently and there was presenter who was defending medical marijuana. Explaining a story about a child who was having gran mal seizures. Her Mom is a nurse practitioner. The fellow really did a nice job with the facts and i sure learned alot about pot ! you of course know why Reagan had a relatively harmless drug up to schedule one i suppose? I sound abit snarky when folks who dont know much about a subject take a definitive stand. Like i said i had little knowledge of the history of hemp. But i do know. and it is not addictive. But sure lets treat it like heroin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sure lets treat it like heroin. It is absolutely psychologically addictive. Physically, not so much. The fact of the matter is that you have a substance abuse disorder once you have a clinical or functional impairment. Marijuana use in the NFL, by definition, fits this criteria as it significantly impacts their ability to work. Let me ask you this 3rd. If you had to never drink alcohol again to maintain employment, and you couldn't or wouldn't stop, what would you call that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had to never drink alcohol again to maintain employment, and you couldn't or wouldn't stop, what would you call that? a poor decision. Because there is help available if i ask for it. But alcohol is physically addictive. as are opioids. so I would likely need professional help depending the level of addiction. I know where you are going with this. Pot is not psychologically addictive . The brain can attach itself to all kinds of "needs" That just a lack of fortitude, or some wires crossed. I am NOT defending Pot btw. I just happen to know a lot more than I did a couple weeks ago. couldn't and wouldn't are different things keep in mind Chan ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statistical deaths from alcohol, opioid and Tobacco are significant last year. Guess how may from Cannabis? Bryant has mental health issues i might guess.
