I've said it before and got shit on, but when my consumption of the herb was ridiculously high, it was in large part because I was mixing it with the yellow weed (tobacco). I loved a spliff.

Once I dumped the tobacco, consumption dropped hugely. And the ability to wait till later grew.

Tobacco is much more addictive than pot.

There are no physically addictive elements in marijuana, none. It is impossible to get physically addicted to it. Smoke every day for 10 years and quit one day and there are no physical side effects.

And stop basing your knowledge of who smokes pot on Hollywood.

You clearly have no clue. My damn brother is a pot addict. It's like drugs. Are you going to sit there and say there's no drug addictions? People turn to this stuff to get their minds off things, and that can be a perpetual habit.

How do we sue the league for not allowing the players to use the medicine available to save their brains?

It's worse than medical neglect, they were miseducating their players on purpose and were even trying to attack the finances of any player that tried to medicate himself.

Junior Seau's family has a case.

So nobody wants to talk about the negative effects of this? I guess it's fine if you take steroids and supplements to stay in shape, but that's just prolonging.
Kill yourself.

To be fair if I wasted my prime years in Detroit I'd need to smoke at least 4 bowls a day to cope.

If marijuana's so bad why are there exactly zero weed related only deaths annually? Now compare that to the # of deaths associated w/ alcohol, hard drugs & pills. How bad can something be that's caused zero deaths?

Meanwhile back at the ranch, Rog still fucks you up big time for using.....

In the agreement or not, this is 2019. Rog should turn a blind eye.

derp.

There is zero physical addiction. Mental addiction can be anything from your smartphone to beating off.

If a heroin junkie stops shooting heroin, they become PHYSICALLY ill. If an alcoholic quits drinking, they get PHYSICALLY ill.

If someone stops smoking weed, they THINK about smoking it often. It doesn't affect them physically tho.

Exactly.

And Rog can do what he wants as always.

And what he should do is turn a blind eye as long as performance isn't affected.

Like the traffic cop who gives you 10-15 mph over the limit without a ticket.

The NFL has the largest following of any other professional sport so Goodell can do whatever he wants.

I smoked lots of weed during my college days but quit smoking it after starting my business career.

I fail to see your point as I already said that.

But a huge part of the audience who aren't brain dead understand this is a silly way to do so, simply because you can.

What he should do is help those guys if they need help. They aren't flying jet planes or driving semi trucks.

They are playing football. And if they are't hurting the team or anybody else Roger has it in his power to ignore it.

If he chooses to.

Regardless of the rule.

Just like that traffic cop.

Let the bells ring out and the banners fly!

You couldn't handle the heat so you got out of the kitchen....
No, I just grew up and became a responsible citizen. I found out that I could function better sober and I don't miss it one bit.
