Fred Davis suspended indefinitely w/o pay

[enkay21]

Not really a surprise. Don't think the team was counting on him moving forward. Either way, what a waste...

 

[martinez]

lol keep up the good work fred.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Really hope he gets help. When an addiction or habit overrides your career and smart personal choices, it has obviously become a life issue that requires aid.

Where is the guy that loves Davis?

I also love how people claim weed is not addictive.

Weed isnt addictive. Stupidity how ever is congenital. Fred was stupid well before he started smoking weed. When you miss the team bus because you couldnt wake up, fall asleep in positional meetings, and generally do every thing you can to get on the coaches bad side. thats not a weed problem, its a problem with being genetically stupid. They handed Davis multiple chances, and he screwed it up every time. If a team franchise tags you even though they are cap strapped, and you decide not to show up and PROVE you are worth a long term deal, thats on YOU as a person. Not a "bad habit" you happen to have. If they found a way to destroy all the weed on the planet tomorrow, I dont think you would find a bunch of people going through withdrawals and unable to function like most addictive substances (Heroin, Coke, Alcohol). Davis' problem was and is that he is simply a dumbass.

the only thing i disagree with you about is that weed isnt addictive . of course it is or else you wouldnt throw away a lucrative career over it

today's weed is much more powerful

it all comes down too what you can handle .

OK, apparently this substance suspension was not weed, but a banned stimulant that was in other supplants he was taking. As for weed, I'm curious if those of you saying its addictive, have you ever tried it?

 

[Sharkinva]

Sorry dude, but I ran my own shop and smoked regularly.... right up until I accepted a job where it was not acceptable. And i havent smoked in two years since. So no, I dont buy that weed in and of itself is addictive. Its easier to kick weed than tobacco, alcohol or many other legal substances. And Davis isnt getting kicked out because he couldnt stop weed. He is getting kicked out because he was too dumb to realize the opportunity he had.

I actually agree with you. I was asking those that say it is addictive. Have they ever smoked?

Not to chime in uninvited but weed is definitely not addictive.

yes i have smoked weed . i have run threw most of the drugs on the planet with the exceptions of crack , heroin , and meth .

yes weed is addictive . but who knows what is your personal addiction is

Fair enough. I personally think that its more a personality trait (addictive personality) than it is the substance. Some people just get addicted easier than others, wether its alcohol, food, gambling, sex, what ever. I, too, have spent a period of my life smoking recreationally. I had no issues stopping or felt no withdraws when I didn't. Tobacco is much more addictive.

of course weed is addictive . how addictive ? depends on the person

to me the hardest substance to kick was caffeine followed by tobacco

to another person weed is . some people dont get addicted to weed as do people dont get addicted to alcohol , yet alcohol is addictive

now for humor , when shark said he smoked regularly the first thing i thought of is when richard prior made a joke saying he has snorted coke for 15 years everyday and he wasnt hooked yet

Dude, I freely admit Im addicted to nicotine, redbull and this little spanish girl named Liz, how ever Im not going to let any of them cost me my job (cept for Liz, but I married her) I toked weekly when I had the freedom to do that. But I wont let any substance cost me my livelyhood.

Weed is not physically addictive in any way.

It is only "habit-forming" if you have a disgustingly addictive personality. I have stopped countless times for various reasons and never once had any issue with wanting or "needing" to smoke until the reason to not smoke was done. You have to be a special kind of stupid to allow weed to affect your life negatively in any way.

Weed isnt addictive just like cigarettes and alcohol. Making a joke here. Of course its addictive, and I agree with the other daddy on here. Weed is far more potent (thus the dependency) than it ever was when we was lads. Weed these days is PCP of yesterday. About Freddy, it only hurts this team when it involves guys that matter. I have more respect for those who are poor and spend there minimum wage on drugs than those who are millionaires. The poor have an excuse.

Sorry dude, but if I dont have a joint I dont get edgy or moody. You take my Newports for a week and Im not safe to be around. thats an addiction. Any one that says they are addicted to weed is just weak in general. Nothing in it has an addictive quality aside from maybe the way it makes you feel psychologically. Where as withdrawals from nicotine or Alcohol do have a measurable physical and mental affect. If anything he has a mental problem that he copes with by smoking weed. But smoking weed is a coping device, not an addiction.

 

[smackdaddy]

Having a habit is a poor mans excuse for addiction. Though I do agree some drugs are far more addicting, but in reality all drugs have an additive nature.

 

[smackdaddy]

Addictive nature. Dont these boards allow editing
