I've been a Vol since the sixties, late sixties. I've always supported the Vols and always tried to remember they are just college kids who chose to wear orange, I was no saint in the 70s or 80s and have a fairly liberal view of current laws and rules , but here goes!!
Danny Obrien, you are a selfish ass! Knowing that this team had such potential with only a few Sr leaders, you chose tho be a party boy. You failed your 3RD Drug test during this years teams extreme gauntlet of games.
No you weren't our most talented DTackle, but you were a good one who played like a 5th year SR should play. You were maybe our best run stuffer,
You got hurt, and I'm sorry for that, but, lets look at what your selfishness and dismissal caused.
It forced K Mac and S Tuttle(even more) to play many more downs than they needed to and the outcome, Both hurt for the season. Would they have been on the field if you were playing, who knows? But I do know that Tuttle was truly only supposed to see 20 or so snaps a game for the most part..
So before players break team rules, ( Dude you could smoke 24-7 in another 52 days) think about the team.. and what your selfish thinking does to the team...
Remember mary jane aint addictive. I know a friend whose been smoking daily for 35 years and has never gotten addicted. He almost always makes his bed and picks up so his mom won't have to do it, nowadays. Should put the stuff in cereal so kids can be healthier and more successful.
Like the above said, never chastise anyone for being selfish when they are on drugs. Never! Rest assured it's always someone else's fault. After all it is almost impossible to find even the most scant warning concerning mind altering drugs in our society. So, how could a person possible know what they are getting into. Plus there's practically nowhere to get help if addicted.
Danny probably deserves some sort of courage award I would think. :good!:
</sarc> just in case
In Tn it's against the law, what about in Colorado, where it's legal?
You are right. I'm no addiction expert. Let's just assume for arguement's sake that this young adult was full blown addicted to pot. He had free medical care and a full team of support people at his disposal and chose not to deal with it. The addictive substance is not to blame when the person chooses not to seek help.Go look up cannabis use disorder. Then try to deny years of research that claim pot has addictive causing tendencies. Then try to explain to the federal government why addiction research on cannabis should no longer be funded. Here is a small sample

I don't know if you have access but at least the title is in the hyperlink. Regardless, you shouldn't blame someone for any sort of drug use without knowing him or the circumstances. You simply don't know their situation and you sure as heck are no expert in addiction research.

He just told you in his post. Can you read? OHHH from Bama never mind withdraw my question that answers it.

So he risked his entire future and the team's future for just some harmless fun, huh. His behavior proves that it is.
