Anyone care to give the cliff notes version of the thread? I'm sure there are rumors, Butch blaming, and Pig blaming. Just the details, if anyone would be so kind.

Pig has been in trouble all throughout his career. It was only a matter of time, especially with him getting warned AGAIN in preseason for his behavior.

Dude is a great player just doesn't want to put the funky stuff down. That's my guess.

Like I said, what does that have to do with Colorado and other countries


Many are trying to legitimize marijuana use and are citing the laws in those places.

So. The laws in those places aren't the same as Tennessee laws.

Does legitimizing pot help keep the team from blowing leads and losing? It Pig broke the law or team rules repeatedly, no amount of legitimizing is going to help.

He tweeted something about how he had "one day left". It's exactly what I assumed. that he had one strike left or he was going to be gone. I guess he doesn't care.

I hate it for him but it seems like he brought it all on himself if it was failed drug test. Of course in the long run it really doesnt matter. We suck balls with or without Pig.

Weed is def addictive. It doesn't cause the same behavior/symptoms as alcohol, opiate, or stimulant addiction, but it is def addictive. Go up to your local state or county probation office and ask how many of them have violated for smoking weed. If risking 7 years of prison (or risking your football career) to smoke weed doesn't show signs of addiction, I don't know what does.

I would also agree that weed is is not benevolent to someone's mind and body, but it's not near as rough as alcohol is on someone. If alcohol etg testing were performed, you would find just as many, if not more, people that would fail and lose their jobs, violate probation/parole, etc, bc there are just as many people that can't stop drinking.

The argument is that an addiction to weed is not nearly as harmful or addictive as alcohol, or other illegal drugs.

For a small percentage of people who use it, marijuana can be highly addictive. It is estimated that 10% to 14% of users will become heavily dependent. In 2006 marijuana was responsible for 16% of all admissions to treatment facilities in the U.S. Because the consequences of marijuana use can be subtle and insidious, it is more difficult to recognize signs of addiction. Cultural and societal beliefs that marijuana cannot be addictive make it less likely for people to seek help or to get support for quitting. Over time, overstimulation of the endocannabinoid system by marijuana use can cause changes in the brain that lead to addiction, a condition in which a person cannot stop using a drug even though it interferes with many aspects of his or her life. It is estimated that 9 percent of people who use marijuana will become dependent on it. The number goes up to about 17 percent in those who start using young (in their teens) and to 25 to 50 percent among daily users. According to the 2013 NSDUH, marijuana accounted for 4.2 million of the estimated 6.9 million Americans dependent on or abusing illicit drugs.
