That's what the Dolphins were saying while handing Ricky Williams a huge check.

I have never tried it. I've been around it at many parties and smaller social gatherings but never felt the urge/need to indulge.

I agree with most people that if they have tried it and are definitely NOT current users nor have they been for some time, then I have no problem.

Don't you have to fail multiple tests before you get suspended?

There's a big difference.

If they are tested, which I'm sure they probably are at some point prior to the draft and they are clean, no harm, no foul.

At least they were honest.

I agree, the article did not say that they were active users.......but it also didn't say that they were not active users. It simply said that they have admitted that they have "used" marijuana. That's a pretty vague term if you ask me.

My only point was that such a statement would, to me, signal a need for further research and/or additional questions regarding the extent of that use. I'm only saying that teams should care because of the potential impact on the team if it becomes a problem (as opposed to what everyone else on this thread is trying to turn the issue into: i.e. whether the moral police should condone the use of marijuana or not......that's not the issue).

I also applaud their honesty.

And no, I've never tried it and I have no reason to.

I personally think alcohol abuse is way worse than marijuana abuse, but the bottom line is testing positive for pot will get you suspended. That'll alienate their teammates, and piss off the fans and the FO of whatever team they play for. But I say good for them for being honest. As long as it's not a regular thing to where it would show up in a piss test, then more power to 'em.

They must be clean... I heard on Cowherd's show today that the NFL does a piss test at the Combine.

Maybe they duct taped a mini-shampoo bottle full of clean piss to the inside of their leg like my college roommate used to do when he had to take drug tests.

You should really try it. There is nothing in life like a bag, some beer, some good friends, and Redskins on the big screen, with foosball at halftime. Shoutout to my boy Stinksta for making this a reality for me so many times.

Highly doubt it considering that them boys are damn near naked when they are measuring their height and weight.

Thank you for those wise words, I will file them under the same heading as...

"Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

While I will note the sarcasm, where you are filing it is right on the money. Just remember, a gun sitting there by itself has never, EVER gone off...it requires a person. Just FYI.
I would also wager that some of the most intelligent people that ever lived probably dabbled in Marijuana at some point.

Fear and ignorance are dirty nasty things.

Yeah my roommate was on the UVA football team, they practically watch you piss and he said as a D-1 athele you cannot afford to smoke weed during the season, or you will get caught, hence Amhad Brooks....

Speaking of weed, I am sure about half my campus is lighting up about now..
