Did you ever buy anyone a 2nd beer in a bar? You probably put a drunk driver (by most current gestapo laws) on the road. Makes you an accessory. Had that person killed someone you would be an accessory to murder.

Cmon mods, can't we shut down all the attacks here. FFS if you don't like his the guy's point of view ignore it and move on. Does anybody have any real info about the situation or DOB and his health?

Let me save you some time. We will not be getting any more info from the team. Have a good night.

The hospital will not drug test you without cause or without informing you. They cannot release that info as far as I know. I would imagine that he was tested prior to the game and with it being his last strike it was sent to a lab for confirmation. He more than likely failed it prior to Saturday.

This makes a lot of sense. May be just a coincidence of timing that he got hurt on Saturday.

That doesn't mean that they are doing a drug screen on your blood. There must be a reason to order a drug screen: altered consciousness, a specific set of circumstances raising concerns for drug use, making sure that meds given for treatment wouldn't cause problems if illegal drugs were in system, etc.

There are a ridiculous number of tests that can be run on s blood sample. IF he had a positive blood test while in hospital, there should have been medical necessity to test.

And as for the authority/ permission to release test results to UT just because they were there, that's a bit shaky. Drug and alcohol diagnoses (along with HIV and sickle cell status) have special privacy protections. He would have had to sign a waiver (before or after) to share that.

I'm leaning toward the cleaning-out-the-locker possibility. Or something completely unrelated to the time in Texas.

They did a drug screen every time and told me what was in my system.

Prolonged and habitual use of weed DOES do damage to a person's life, ask anyone who works in mental health, addiction counseling, etc.. That said, hard to make the case that recreational use is a good reason to jail people. Not sure what the happy medium is.

Some useless weed/hemp trivia...

According to a study done during WW2. The best place to grow hemp in the US (continental 48 at the time) is Jefferson County Tennessee... Just 30 miles East of Knoxville...

Wooo hoooo..

So does alcohol. So does tobacco. Anyone seriously trying to get those things criminalized?

Altered mental status sure, when you're trying to figure out what's causing it. I can also see the purpose when there's been a car accident or a fall. But when everyone knows the cause of the injury and saw it on TV, what's the diagnostic reason for such a test? I'm genuinely curious.

If a patient comes in after an injury and has altered mental status, neuro changes, abnormal vital signs, etc, a tox screen could be indicated to rule out other causes for such findings. Very common test in trauma cases.

This is the issue, it's about profit, once the states start realizing they can make more money legalizing it than confiscating it will be done. They don't give a **** about whose lives are affected by addiction. This is evident with alcohol and pharmaceutical narcotics.

Let people make their own choices when it comes to their bodies. None of us are getting off this blue ball alive so as long as what your doing isn't harming others then have at it Hoss.

I don't smoke weed and never cared for it but to each their own.

I'm aware it's highly unlikely that anyone from the team will be posting here. However, there are plenty of others who aren't part of the team that could have valid information. Really starting to lose respect for this board and it's users. That being said this is my last irrelevant post on this topic. Hopefully things go well for DOB and the team moves forward with the next man up.
