That's what Washington and Colorado are doing, and the rest of the states are just watching to see how it pans out, which has been successful thus far. It's still illegal, and even if it was legal, the NCAA would never allow these kids to use it, and they shouldn't. The only reason I think weed should be legal, is because we spend way too much trying to fight it, and too many people are in prison for such a stupid thing, and it would make a good amount of money. But I still think it is a gateway drug if you use too much. And don't even say there's no proof ppl who smoke move on to other things, because I know for a fact it can happen easily.Thank u....never had a DUI or any other issue happen from weed that alcohol causes. Instead of drunks beating their wives, they smoke and munch and nap. Just like alcohol prohibition, weed is coming around and IMO alcohol should be banned. I've seen the medicinal benefits first hand of marijuana. The ONLY argument opposers have is inhaling smoke which has been settled with pills, drinks, food etc. Not only do we not spend $ fighting it and prosecuting it but we gain the tax dollars. Absolute no brainer and may be the only way to help liquidate the debt this moron Obama has caused our generations of relatives to pay100%. Im as big a marijuana supporter as you'll find but this is spot on. There are alot of chances i pass up because of marijuana and my feelings about it but if i was given the chance to play football at any level beyond high school i would quit smoking without even thinking about it, let alone playing at Miami.
That being said lets not forget the hypocrisy here. If you swapped the weed with alcohol we wouldnt being talking about a 1 game suspension and nobody would be saying hes immature and all that jazz. He would be having the "college experience." Would you rather your players going out and getting drunk or staying in and smoking a few bowls?
Yep, people fail to realize that the culture around Marijuana use and alcohol use is night and day. For a vast amount of weed users its a mellow, calming experience. Your not totally inebriated like you are alcohol, you still have control of yourself. Think about the number of times we hear about a athlete getting in trouble at a club or a bar. Why would you want your players losing control of themselves and being around other people who have limited control of themselves? Or they can invite a few friends over, match a few bowls and get down on some video games and munchies.
The simple truth is that marijuana is safer then alcohol in every way shape and form, yet we punish the kids who chose to to do the safer intoxicant just because the big bad government says so.
I agree with that the government definitely wants to get their hands on it.
I said it a long Time ago...make it legal and tax the **** out of it
IF a gateway drug exists (which i dont believe) it would be alcohol, not marijuana.
