Salter charged with misdemeanor

With the new supreme court ruling can we not make uber mandatory after dark? I feel like we can afford it
 
Never meet a pothead that contributed anything worthy. Just makes you lazy & dumb & there is no denying it
Mike Vick, Randy Moss, Jason Williams, and many many more great athletes use Marijuana. Id rather see a Pothead move into my neighborhood than a pill popper any day of the week.

First, Whether you like it or not pot is illegal and whiskey is not. Second, Salter should have known better, if you are going to smoke just stay home. Third, he should have known he had to be a good citizen after his last run in with the law. Lastly, how stupid do you have to be to drive around at 3 am without a license, no tail lights and a dark cover over license plate.


I have zero issues with your comments regarding his stupidity.

Being publicly intoxicated is against the law too though. Both are low level narcotics. Alcohol just has better lobbyist.

I hate that this has happened and that he made the choices he made. I’m surprised that he was allowed to live off campus this early. What was the line of thinking there? No way in hell I would’ve ever made it as an 18 year old in Knoxville in an off campus environment. I barely did from 20-22
I've no idea where Salter lived before the Stokely event but I wonder if he "chose" to move out of university housing after that incident.

It wouldn't surprise me if the university suspected they were dealing with a literally "lit" fuse and wanted to distance themselves from the next Salter blow-up.

Either way, I think family is in this thread...... get the young man closer to home to refocus.
 
With a full WB room and an offense that demands quick smart decisions, why did this kid even have a car since he doesn’t have a license?
Stupid decision after stupid decision,
 
Maybe to you it should be. And, 3 or so years ago I would’ve agreed… but as “harmless” as some think it is, I can tell you, in my case, it’s wasn’t. I smoked regularly, for about 10 years. But one day things changes. And it led to a complete psychotic break, during which I had to be hospitalized….I’m talking hearing voices/sounds that weren’t there, extreme paranoia/confusion, and just not being in my right mind….

Up until that point I was a pro-weed guy through-and-through. That was me and my wife’s way of relaxing at night. While hospitalized (at Vanderbilt) my wife and I were tested for other drugs, but there was nothing else in our systems (it wasn’t “laced”), and it only happened to me (not her). This was about 3 years ago and neither of us have taken part since.

I know this probably isn’t a ‘norm’, and I’m going to get hate from all of the pro-weed people, but I don’t care. I’m not lying. Up until that point I was a “pothead”, smoking every day.

This is the first time I’ve shared what happened to me publicly, but I feel like I need to stop acting like it didn’t happen. So anyone else who experienced this doesn’t feel alone, and so that others know that it’s not “completely harmless”. If you do a bit of research you’ll find that my case is not isolated. Yes, my story doesn’t happen to most people, but to me and others it has.
Thank you for sharing. Not easily done, I’m sure. Glad your life is better now. You’ve certainly offered a “sobering“ perspective.
 
I rarely drive with my tail lights out and my license plate obscured. But when I do, I’m always careful to leave my license at home and have weed aboard!

On a related matter, I blame our boosters for Salter’s latest run in with the law. At Bama, Salter would have functioning tail lights on his new Dodge Charger, and thus wouldn’t face a traffic stop. We won’t have nice things til the boosters step up their game!

As for the weed, I don't get it. Why an athlete would put something in their lungs that diminishes lung capacity over time due to resin deposits is beyond me. It is literally a performance dampener.

That's why I take my phantom pain medicine in gummy, brownie, or chocolate bar form. So much better than gabapentin. Love living in a medical legal state.

I see you dont often leave messages yet this is so impressive, Im all for having a good time but this route is not without consequences.

Good luck to you and your wife going forward.
