Two issues here: One major. One minor.

The major, of course, is whether it should be legal and become part of a legal, taxable industry. A debate for another place and time.

The minor issue is that it is illegal right now, like it or not, and mostly it’s the morons that caught. Most people who smoke pot will never have a run in with the police.

Until it is legal, it might be a good idea to be a little less stupid.

So do all the other teams in the league…What’s your point?

“This just in: J’Marcus Webb traded to the Lions for a 4th round pick.”

Actually we need a 3rd.-rounder.

He’ll be a good guard this year for the bears. No need to worry, but explains his poor work ethic.

Setting aside the fact that there should be no prohibition against marijuana, you have to be pretty stupid to get arrested for weed these days.

Unless you’re driving and pulled over for doing something else stupid with weed in your car you almost have to walk right up to a cop and shove it in his face to get popped for that.

The combination of arrogance, stupidity and entitlement in so many of these players would be amazing if you didn’t see it exercised so often.

Now that his enabler David Puddy, er Mike Tice, is gone, maybe this will give the Bear even more reason to get rid of this human turnstile once and for all.

Quoth The Hawk: “He gone.”

Why does the fact that someone breaks an unjust law tell you they make bad decisions? Heroes break unjust laws all the time, should they be scolded?

When I saw the headline that he was arrested for “drug charges” my first thought was he was only HOLDING!

It doesn’t really matter if it should be legalized or not. That’s a separate issue here. The facts here are that Webb chose to break the law and by doing so predictably risked his career, his financial well being and the image of his employers/league so that he can enjoy the temporary benefits of being high. Its about his judgment and commitment to his employers and his craft.

You mean he was arrested for the same thing our founding fathers grew? Yeah, Ben Franklin, Ab Lincoln, they all grew and and used marijuana, and yes this all all well documented. So since everyone is saying he’s stupid or an idiot, then they must be to huh? Haha ignorance at its best. A waste of taxpayer money. But if he had some perks or codiene it would be fine, or even a pack of cigs or a unopened 40 oz, all of which have 100s of thousands of deaths related to them each year. Who’s ever dies from weed? Exactly, has never been a death due to marijuana ever in history. Like I said ignorance at its best.

who cares about pot, which isn’t performance -enhancing and is legal, or decriminalized, in many states.

what a waste.

It does not matter what anyone thinks about it being legal. The fact remains it is against NFL policy and the law, and the fact he is stupid enough to risk his career displays his stupidity as well as the posters who side with him.

By the way, this is how the Lions off season began last year…not with a Roar, but a whimper of improprieties.

Just an FYI, but KFVS isn’t located in Chicago. It’s at the other end of the state by Kentucky.

Another point is that had it happened in Chicago, he would not have been arrested, he would have been given a $500 ticket and sent on his way.

There should be a law….

… against calling marijuana arrests “drug charges”.

And no, I am not a pot smoker.

Regardless of what side of the fence you’re on regarding marijuana, the fact remains that is it not allowed by his employer and he made a choice. He’s just lucky that his employer is more forgiving than most – most employers with a drug policy have zero tolerance. If I got busted for the same offenses I’d be looking for a new job.

Trade him to the Cowboys. Sounds like a perfect fit.
