Alcohol is harmful. Tobacco (specifically all the chemicals associated with it) is harmful. Prescription medicines are harmful.

Marijuana is also harmful. Granted, it's a lot less harmful than the drugs listed above but it's still harmful. It should still be decriminalized and eventually legalized, though.

I just get sick of the people who think it's some magical miracle plant. Oh it cures back pain, depression, migraines, cancer, etc, etc, etc and has no negative effects whatsoever. Bullshít. Give it a rest. You just wanna get high.

You are inhaling smoke into your lungs. That is harmful. And even if you don't smoke, it still has neurological and cognitive effects on your body.

Are you gonna OD on marijuana? Obviously not. Will it cause health problems if you are a chronic smoker for years? Yes.

It's no different than drinking soda. Sure, it's harmless to drink a soda. But drink 2-3 of them a day for 20 years and see what happens.

best answer. sums up my views quite accurately. people need to stop pretending there is nothing wrong with drug use. idc if it's tobacco, alcohol, reefer, or heroin. you're using a drug to alter your senses and escape reality. some people need that. most just want it, and don't really need it. don't pretend there are no adverse effects to altering your brain chemistry on a regular basis.

The majority of players use weed and nobody in the NFL cares... except if they get busted or test positive for it. It's like the NFL just has to have the appearance of caring, so hey guys make sure you avoid the police and can trick a drug test, then it's all good. It's so stupid.

If uses you're right in a way. Sure, we can assume because the NFL makes billions of dollars where a lot of its players smoke weed so they don't "care" until it affects their business. So, there's a pretty simple unspoken agreement here that some bonehead players can't seem to understand: "we know you're going to smoke, fine. Don't get caught. Don't get caught by the police, don't get caught by us because we have to test."

As a billion dollar business its expected by the majority (the ones who buy the ticket, merch, etc) that NFL employees (players) are drug-free.

Smoking weed and getting caught is on the player. NOT ANYONE ELSE. Stop trying to blame the system, the league or someone else. It's a choice, and if it's not a choice, then it's an addiction.

Most ignorant statement I have ever heard. You think they have medical marijuana dispensaries just so people can use it for recreational use? Sure there are some people that give them the bs I can't sleep well at night and get a license, but there have been many cases where it helps patients with severe epilepsy, Crohn's disease (which my friend got licensed for) and many other cases. Yes, a lot of people just want to get high, but medical marijuana has proven to help people with all kinds of diseases and disorders. Don't mean to come off as a dick, but watch Weed Wars, very informative of this kind of subject if you have any interest to learn about it.

Hey, why stop at pot or alcohol? If you see the harmful effects there which is arguable---specifically when used in mideration---why neglect arguably the most harmful drugs today (which speaks to nutrition, like in the other thread)? Processed sugar, high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, and all manner of manmade foodstuffs have mind altering effects also. You have scientists who get paid just to keep you addicted to some of these things, but people want to cast negativity on weed.

Weed needs to be legalized so we can regulate it, and stop using endless amounts of resources criminalizing people who use it.

So judgemental. I just love threads about players getting busted for weed...something almost every college kid uses at least once. Ray is a hard worker with a relentless motor. I take him if 24 teams chose not to. Funny how Winston will go top 2 considering all the dumb ass things he has done.

And those same people could drink a beer or take a pain pill and get the exact same "help."

It doesn't do anything but get you high, of course that makes you feel good.
