Marijuana should be legal.


May 4, 2012, 3:26 PM

Completely dumb it is illegal. Half the people I know smoke it including CEO's and Martha Stewart wannabes.

Having said that, weed is still illegal, and this was a dumb move and probably shows a lack of maturity on Sammy's part. He'll have to pay a price, and I hope he learns from it.

a whole heckuva lot of money off the taxes from it. Im not sure of the whole argument for its legality though. I do know that the State of Kentucky would probably benefit as it was the #1 crop here back in the 1800s. A lot of Hemp was produced.

The fact remains that it is illegal and any adult that uses the drug is a loser and needs to rethink their actions...plain and simple.

Even it was a legal drug like alcohol, I'm guessing that it would be illegal to drive like it is with alcohol.

Just because you run a company or make a lot of money does mean that you are the right individual in everything. Success in that department does not mean you are a great person.

If you are an adult, have a family (or not), running a successful business then you are a loser if you are using illegal drugs (which marijuana is). Its an illegal drug, grow up and be a better person and man.

I still have a drink or two every now and then, but I do not drink and drive bc I know that it is illegal and the consequences of that happening at this point in my life would be bad. If you are an adult, then act like one and stop worrying about satisfying your pleasure needs.

Im guessing you and CM Shack are still pretty young. Im only 30 years old, but realize that I am an adult now. And for the record, I've never tried an illegal drug.

Re: Marijuana should be legal.


May 4, 2012, 4:06 PM

I'm not an expert on the topic, and am not making a moral statement. However, it's my understanding that MJ smoke in about 10 times more toxic than regular cigarette smoke; that is is in fact adddictive; and, that it a "gatekeeper" drug that greatly increases the chances that users will move on to heavier drugs. I wouldn't smoke it or anything on a bet. Do we really want supposedly highly-conditioned athletes smoking anything??? And, because a lot of people are doing something stupid doesn't somehow make it smart. If that were the case, then smoking period would be a really bright thing to do. Duh!! Didn't Coach Morris refer to players in the spring game "huffing and puffing and looking at the sideline" after running a few plays?? Why not educate our players about what smoking does to their bodies and conditioning?

May 11, 2012, 8:00 AM [ in reply to Re: Whatever man ]

would be to quit telling people that pot is so terrible when it is not. Lumping weed in with cocaine, heroin, and meth is absurd... and your right, it makes people think that maybe they are being lied to about how terrible those hard drugs are. Unfortunately they aren't lying. Those other drugs can ruin your life. Weed...not so much.
