Ridiculous. But I bet he can get drunk every night and destroy his body and beat some people up and it would be perfectly ok.

Wow that's rediculious. He smoked a little weed when he wasn't even playing the rest of the year and he would've been suspended the whole next year?? Wow

It does seem excessive, but the sooner this young man realizes this is false...

He's confident in his future, but says he didn't really have a choice. The NCAA penalty cemented the decision for him.

...the better his future will be.

He did have a choice. He chose weed. He's not a victim.

But the NCAA is all about providing opportunity to student athletes.

This mentality cracks me up. How do we know he didn't have a medical card or would have been eligible for one. Medicinal weed is legal in Michigan. There is a reason states are starting to legalize it. There is little to any side effects. I am not sure who it was that said it but it is something like 'when the penalty for the crime does more harm than the crime itself it's time to rethink the policy.'

He could destroy his liver on a nightly basis or he could smoke a little weed with little harm to the user. I know which decision I would make.

I have no doubt he would have been eligible for a medicinal card. He was just coming off of back surgery. But I'm sure the NCAA would rather him get hooked on pain killers than smoke a little herb...

Once he failed the drug test, he didn't really have a choice but to leave. That's what he's saying.

Most people who take pain killers don't get hooked.

The NCAA has nothing to do with his failing a drug test.

They're the ones that administer it...

Regardless, your statement that "he had a choice...NOT TO SMOKE. BOOM." is nonsense. I'm sure he would freely admit that himself, and the quote from him that you're responding to has absolutely nothing to do with his agency re:smoking.

Is the rule stupid? Yea

Do I feel sorry for he or Michigan whatsoever? Nope

Life is about decisions

Are there worse things? Absolutely, but you make it sound like its harmless. Thats completely false.

I disagree and feel prescription pain meds are the most dangerous drug out there.

epidemic and costs America and all of us billions and billions of dollars with all the ancillary effects--psychological, work comp, dependency, lawsuits, addt'l medical issues that arise, side effect like liver and kidney damage among other things--

Americans are generally clueless about this matter. You aren't
