Hahaha cry me a river... dude is 25 years old.... he’s not coping with the demands of playing football... he’s a kid and he likes to get high.... he made a fug up quit trying to water it down.... 

It's not my river to cry; me and Cox aren't acquainted. But unless you and he like to get high together, not sure how you can assume what his motives for marijuana use are. I was even careful in my post to say that there's a possibility he uses marijuana for the pain, but who the hell knows. Maybe he's been using it since he was 12 years old and just enjoys it. Maybe he'd never touched it before, but then he confided in someone at training camp that his aches and pains are getting worse and he doesn't think he'll make it another month and they told him marijuana works wonders and gave him the weed to try, which is why it was in his car in the first place. Point is, we don't know, so why don't you dial down the judgment a notch or two? But sure, it's a free country so no one's stopping you from sitting on your high horse if you prefer that.

He broke 2 laws..deal with it. The fact that "everybody" does it is just an excuse.

During my power lifting days, I tried to take 6 vicodin a few times NOTHING. Quit taking them cause already taking 20 other pills that past though the liver. Two hits of the good stuff, my body felt "normal". It was such a euphoric feeling after days of feeling pain and it be gone within minutes. Not being high, but not feeling pain.

So is he that fringe?  I was under the impression he was a favorite?  If he is cut, is that a big loss?  I have to admit I’m not as familiar with the guy.

I think he is fighting for a roster spot and is not a star or even a starter.  That is all I meant by fringe.

I am not saying he should be cut or suspended...or anything about marijuana use.  I don’t really care if anyone uses or not.  But, I am amazed that players potentially put multi million dollar a year jobs at risk for it.  For that money...I give it up until I retire

No. I have never seen a report saying the same but if there are claims that marijuana relieves muscle pains such and impact related injuries such as what a football player my have, then so be it. 

Im entirely in support of cutting the big pharma out of the picture as much as possible. 

My post was reflective of my own experience- I haven’t ever experienced any sort of reduction of inflammation and muscle pain from mj use. Perhaps there are uses for other types of pain? 

I live with at least some level of constant pain and flexibility issues due to AS. Marijuana definitely helps and CDB that's specifically engineered for inflammation reduction and whatnot works really well.

Ok I gotcha, I knew he was a backup just wasn't sure how close to the line he was.  You have an opinion shared by a whole host of folks so I get where you're coming from.  He had a school's out moment ready to go, a young athlete full of testosterone and energy ready to see his fam.  Got excited listenin to his fav jam mind on a million other things and bam, he gets popped.  It happens.

Well you quoted me from a statement that said I don’t smoke weed.... so why would me and mr Cox some weed together? Again your circling around what happened... the guy had weed in his car while speeding.... when we grow up it’s called responsibility!!! I’m not on no high horse at all.. I don’t play for the nfl or anything like that.... but if you get caught, you gotta pay the consequence. You gotta hold certain people to higher standard, my opinion... but what do I know. I’m sitting on a high horse.
