I’m not some pot head, but I smoke weed from time to time. Marijuana is not an addictive drug by any means. Alcohol and cigarettes are by far way more addictive but are legal. The only difference is that the government taxes them and is able to make a shit load of money on their sales. The government doesn’t care about the # of people that die year after year from alcoholism, drunk driving, lung cancer, and all that is related to alcohol and cigarettes.
Slowly but surely the government has loosened up on marijuana. I mean there are plenty of places now that you can just walk in and purchase legal weed with the proper cerifications. And all of these canibus clubs are taxed on the amount of weed that they sell yearly. So now that the government has started to tax it, it won’t be long before it’s nationwide.
Even the law in regards to being caught with certain amounts of weed isn’t punished with much more than a fine or community service.
Myself, I take a few hits from the bong after the kids go to bed and I need to unwind or watch a funny movie with a little extra help. Believe me, Step brothers and Pineapple Express were ten times better with a little enhancement than without.
So like I said, all things in moderation.

Tim Lincecum, one of the best pitchers in baseball, was just given a citation last week while being caught with a little bit of it in Washington.

And it was a little bit and a pipe

It’s bothered me for a very long time that Mary-Jane is on the list of drugs not acceptable in sport. Whilst it’s an offence to carry/use/sell MJ in the majority of countries around the world, it’s hardly performance enhancing is it? Unless you are in a hot-dog eating contest.

I agree that any substance that gives an athlete an unfair advantage on the sporting field should be outlawed but i don’t think pot is one of them. If anything it would be detremental to an athlete’s performance because it negatively affects reaction times and visual perceptions. But a couple of things it won’t do is help you run faster, tackle harder, pass or catch more accurately. So if Ricky, Randy and Timmy L are still the best in the world at their chosen sport AND they like to partake in a bowl or two then more credit to them. Leave them be and allow them continue to entertain me.

Puff, Puff, Pass!

I think if people do not like that particular person it is a bigger deal or if that person is not performing up to expectations. Lincecum getting caught is a blip on the radar screen. If it was JaMarcus getting caught I am sure it would only raise the decibel level on how much Russell is a waste of flesh.

As far as examples, how about the Chief, Robert Parish! The guy was a stud on the court and played for like a billion years and got caught with a bunch of weed.

As has been said: anything in moderation is ok. Christ Bill Clinton smoked weed. Hell, the abuse of red meat probably leads to more deaths than weed.

I could care less if people want to shoot up heroin laced with crack while swallowing pain killers with whiskey as long as they don’t interfere with others pursuit of happiness. It may not be a good choice but it is their choice.

It cracks me up that while California is contemplating selling themselves to China, ’cause they need the money, that they spend money trying to enforce marijuana laws instead of legalizing it and taxing it.

Play Varsity Football and one of my dad’s friends played in College for like 2 years he was RB and he said that dudes are HUGE in Collage he took Steroids and said they Really worked now I would NEVER do that but it shows how much Impact a pill can give you. P.S Put some of it in J-Russ’ next Meal.

I would be this year, but I was expelled homecoming night. Steroids arent that popular in my small town tho

I totatolly agree..All kind of NBA players smoke..Its sad that its not legal yet..But,,This is not a politics blog
