You obviously have no idea about the privatization of our prisons which led to my statement. Educate yourself on that. Glad you see you back track on your addictive stance though. Maybe you should also Google the difference between habit forming vs addictive.

​People don't usually risk their careers over 'habits'.

One has to literally be blind to not see the link between the start of the war on drugs and corporations like CCA being founded. The amount of misinformation that was disseminated by our government still seems to have a hold of some of our low iq posters like tn05. Cause marijuana is totally addictive. This website I googled told me soooo!!!

LOL, I have a 4.0 college GPA and have researched this issue myself. But since I disagree that marijuana is completely harmless (and maybe a miracle drug) I'm stupid.

Well that's completely relative. Most people don't have to take random drug test like athletes every couple of months. You are kidding yourself if you don't think people are doing it and aren't in danger of losing their careers over it. The fact is it isn't as dangerous as government propaganda would have you believe and there is no justification why a plant should be illegal in a "free" society. If you want to argue why it shouldn't be illegal go ahead. But don't come with bs that it's addictive. There's overwhelming evidence by former and current users who will laugh you off the face of the earth with that 4.0 college gpa telling you how wrong you are.

​I don't believe it should be illegal. I'm just not in denial that isn't harmful to some degree. Being harmful in and of itself is not justification for banning something. 

And as for my 'bs that it's addictive', I'm the only one here that's presented actual evidence, two articles that are well-researched with internal citations to study and are in-depth. The 'evidence' you have consists of unreliable personal testimony from an internet forum. In any meaningful scenario the former is more important. But that's just me...

Be carefull when throwing out your GPA.  4.0 is something to be proud of but does not always translate to how smart a person is off campus.

I have no real issue with weed.  However its like anything else, when abused a positive can turn negitive in a hurry.  I have seen many ppl start with mary jane and get bored, so they move on to harder substances.  IMO thats the biggest reason its against the law.  Im not going off internet reaserch, just everyday life.

I really didn't start the thread to be a Huddle referendum on the legality of weed, or a debate as to whether weed is "addictive".  I will say this: 

Unless you are a stone-cold stoner (which is ultimately by your own choice), weed is not "addictive" enough to lose your professional football career and livelihood over in any shape, form or fashion.  

Let's not be stupid. Even Ricky Williams put the ganja down long enough to make some money.

Harmful in what sense? Can you cite me numbers of how many people have died from this plant annually? Or maybe give me the all time numbers of pot related deaths there are?

 

also for comparison you should tell the class how many die for cigarettes and alcohol annually.  Then come back with your harmful argument. 

 

Quit acting like linking some government funded study who are practically paid to give bogus data for funding. I'll take evidence from people who have actually used and been around the plant more than some government funded nerd whose never used a day in his life.

​In the very least, in the senses I described earlier: that it can be addictive, and that it negatively affects the brain while being used (and possibly afterwords).

I never said it was worse than tobacco or alcohol (in fact, I said the opposite). The fact that you assume I did suggests that you didn't read what I said.

And as to that last part... lol. You are in denial. Internet potheads are not more reliable than actual studies, with actual science and actual evidence.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
