Yup...And the pharmaceutical industry, and the criminal justice system, and the alcohol industry, etc...prisons, judges, lawyers, police, DEA...Marijuana being legal is bad for many businesses in this country. Building prisons is a HUGE industry in this country and half of the inmates are in for weed. It has NOTHING to do with protecting people from something harmful to their bodies or others. It's all about $ and marijuana becoming legal hurts many other industries.

It should never have become illegal in the first place.

I'm still trying to figure out how being a pharmacist working behind a counter for 25 years makes one an expert on whether weed should be legalized or not. :blink:

How does being a politician in Washington DC make one an expert on whether weed should be legal or not?

Read a couple articles saying Peterman could go as high as 2nd round. Did any of us think he'd have a shot at the NFL after that UF game?

Alcohol truly has destroyed a lot of lives--but thank you very much for actually proving my point. It's LEGAL, easily accessible, and extremely difficult to keep out of the hands of young teenagers.....

It serves as an excellent example against the legalization and deregulation of mild-altering substances.....

Once again, folks......come talk to me after spending 25 years behind the counter and watching people destroy their lives....even with legal prescription drugs....

Fat lot of good making alcohol illegal did for us.

What about people with legitimate needs? They don't matter to anybody. Just demonize the medicine, and not the abusers right? Quality of life for people that live with extreme pain every minute of every day is next to zero. Most of those people I know (and I know a LOT of them) are so traumatized by the stigma of drug addict that they just suffer in total misery till they die...Something has to change with that. I am totally against recreational drug abuse, but I am a complete advocate for people that need pain relief to even have a semi functional, happy life without being looked at, and treated with absolute disgust, and disdain.

I'm not really sure how to reply to this.

My intent was to point out the hypocrisy in some pharmaceutical companies making lots of money off of getting people dependent on their products while marijuana is still illegal.


I never meant to sound judgmental towards those who are in need of pharmaceuticals to lead a life worth living.

Average star rating is a terrible measure of a class. Use the ratings the companies put out. They have sophisticated algorithms that weight quality and quantity appropriately. If you take the scenario to the extreme, you would drop all of our recruits except Trey Smith and have the #1 recruiting class. That's ridiculous.

Take Clemson for example. They only had 15 or so spots. They still took 3 3-stars. They took the best available players they could get. If they had 10 more scholarships available, they would have signed the next best 10 players, which by deduction would have been 3-stars and lowered their average class ranking.

TLDR: Average star rating is dumb. The actual rankings already compensate for class size.

It gives a good representation of your roster make up.

I thought he was the worst D1 QB I had ever seen.

Same here

That UF performance was as bad as you will ever see anywhere in your lifetime. Dude was scared to death. Hell of a turnaround I guess. Still don't think he's an NFL player at all though.

Definitely not.

Charles Davis today on the NSD show was saying he thinks Dobbs is going to get drafted much higher than most originally projected.

He'll definitely get drafted, but i don't see him ever getting a starting job without injuries ahead of him. Will Peterman or Dobbs start first? Or will either ever start a game?

No idea. I think it all depends on who drafts them, what the situation is with that team. The odds are against them being starters but you never know once they get NFL coaching what can happen.
