Randy Gregory fails combine drug test

[gettlemanjack]

Honey Badger got kicked out of LSU for pot, sat out a year, went back to LSU and immediately got busted by the cops with pot. He goes to the NFL and no problems. Is it because the NFL doesn't actually care if you smoke pot? (it is legal in several states in this country). Or is it because Honey Badger got hooked up with the right stuff to hide it from the drug tests?

Couldn't have been the pissinator.  I was told they watch you fill the cup.

To be effective, you have to stop "once", not countless times Josh!

i don't smoke. Thanks for assuming though!

[pantherclaw]

With all due respect, what you did was NOT stop smoking. You only took a short break...then went back to it.

with all due respect, you are assuming I'm currently smoking.

Patrick Peterson, teammate and mentor at LSU, basically acts as his babysitter/guardian. That's a unique situation there. Peterson vouched for him with the Cards front office and said he would make sure he never got in trouble again and has followed through.

If you smoked alcohol it would be illegal, if you drank THC it would be legal.

Can't help myself but this always bugs me. What about the dudes that got hammered that month before too? Don't see how that is so much better or any less of a character flaw.

Moderation is the key to anything.

A raging alcoholic could get away with it than a pot smoker which is kind of absurd

Fug him.  If hes too stupid or addicted to pass a drug test when he knows exactly when its going to happen then i have strong doubts he will ever be able to consistently pass drug tests that are completely unexpected.  Let somebody else draft him and deal with his impending suspensions.

You pretty much have to be an idiot to get busted in the NFL for a street drug unless you are in their drug program. The NFL tests for illegal street drugs once a year in the pre-season and that is it. Everyone knows it's coming and everyone knows they won't be tested again for another year.

 

You could do 10 lines of coke before every game and unless you are in the drug program, you have nothing to worry about. PED's they test for throughout the year.

A ton of NFL players fail drug tests daily. We only hear about the ones that absolutely can't control themselves, like Gordon for example.

just based off a quick google seach:

"40% of NFL players use marijuana"

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2014/10/23/national-football-league-marijuana-testing-policy/17784021/

"50 percent of NFL players smoke marijuana"

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/nfl-marijuana-policy-stirs-debate-about-players-who-use-drug-as-medicine/

"about 50 percent of current NFL players use marijuana"

http://www.ozy.com/fast-forward/the-perils-of-synthetic-weed-in-the-nfl/31822

"whoever says only about 20 percent of NFL players smoke marijuana must be smoking some himself."

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=bayless/050822&num=0

"Although pot use in the NFL is hardly rare – current and former players agree that more than half of pro players partake"

http://www.mensjournal.com/magazine/the-nfls-pot-problem-20140919

“70 to 80 percent ” of NFL players use marijuana . “I hate to say that as if it’s a bad thing , but I think that would be about accurate.”

Maybe what pantherclaw meant was stop smoking long enough to be drafted.

i thought i was clear, but evidently the masses assume way to much.

meant put aside smoking pot for at least the duration of one NFL career.

Stick that in pick and smoke it.

[gettlemanjack]

also, in the CFL, they don't even test for marijuana. NFL just appears to just do it to maintain appearances with people who think pot should be illegal (and those people are becoming a smaller and smaller minority in this country every year).
