    as a non-smoker this is very alarming. pretty poor judgment when they know it could potentially cost them millions

    who ****ing cares?
    there is absolutely nothing wrong with marijuana. the ONLY thing wrong about it is that it is illegal. just because a law exists doesnt mean its right.

    how many people die every year from alcohol related deaths?
    about 400,000 people die every year from tobacco related deaths.
    there is NOT ONE SINGLE DEATH on record EVER related to marijuana.

    its a natural growing plant. has more uses then almost any other plant, except maybe corn. it is used as a medicine. they even make synthetic THC to prescribe as medicine now.

    This board seems to have a fairly decent amount of people who partake. IMO, for true medicinal purposes it has its uses. Otherwise its just another drug. Personally, I would rather not have people on the team using.

    This is not alarming because all this is saying is that these players have smoked weed in the past. That means nothing, could be once in college or one time in high school. Not a big deal. Percy Harvin was flagged for it last year, just cause he admitted use in the past.

    It's not a big deal if he's a guy who uses it once in a while and can get by the league drug tests. If he's doing it every other day then the risk of him getting busted is higher and that's the last thing we need here, considering what this team has gone through in the past with Ricky Williams.

    No this isn't players red flagged because they use it in the past. These are players that gms think have a problem.

    And yes Eric it is pretty harmless but it is illegal and these players are making stupid decisions by smoking it when they are risking millions. You are blinded if you don't think this raises a question in ones judgment.

    Do I take drugs or partake in illegal activities? No. No I dont.

    If your fine with players smoking weed then your fine with it. Im not going to convince you otherwise.

    But not everyone out there shares the same opinion. I dont just write it off and say "oh hes escaping its fine." Im sure some execs and GMs feel the same way. Some may not care. That their perrogative when they are handing out the paychecks.

    Who says we dont feel the same about you? :up:

    No offense. Enjoy it if that's your thing. But its not everyone's, and to some its a red flag. I would agree with #1dolphinsfan in that if they got one positive I wouldnt be that concerned. If they got multiples, or got hit close to the combine/prodays, that would be concerning to me. If anything because like it or not it IS illegal. If I had a million+ dollar paycheck on the line, I would be doing everything I could to not harm that. That some players are may speak to their dedication to the game and team.

    Hahaha, well for one, I dont need your pity, and two you're the one that is showing ignorance if you think its ok to do something illegal but still be hired for a job. This has nothing to do with it being a drug, it has everything to do with the fact that it...is...illegal. Look what the "harmless" but yet "illegal" drug has done to Ricky Williams. It has tarnished his legacy. Ricky was quite possibly one of the greatest backs we have EVER had. But from now until the end of time he will be known as the Runningback who gave up his career at one point because he wanted to smoke weed. Pretty stupid if you ask me. When it comes down to it, its a personal preference. But just like any personal preference that you make in life, if its something that is frowned upon, or not legal, you have to live with the mess it is going to create, and the fact that everything these kids work their whole lives to create may litteraly go up in a cloud of smoke. NOT.WORTH.IT.

    Based on the fact that they would rather get high than get paid millions of dollars.
