Says the guy who posted with the ultra defensive post to mine. Keep talking out of both ends moron
Am I being ultra defensive when you're hurling insults? Just like to state facts. Have a good one.
which made me google Evans, and saw this in a Yahoo story:
“In the event that the player tests positive for a drug of abuse ... he shall immediately be dismissed and disqualified from any association with the NBA or any of its teams”
Drugs of abuse included in the CBA are listed as follows:
• Amphetamine and its analogs (including, but not limited to, methamphetamine and MDMA)
• Cocaine
• LSD
• Opiates (Heroin, Codeine, Morphine)
• Phencyclidine (PCP)
The CBA lists “marijuana and its by-products” under “prohibited substances,” but not not as a “drug of abuse.”
First it helped my mom so much when she had cancer till her death a couple months ago. She had never smoked in her life before that. I got to blaze with her and can still remember laughing my ass off the first time she tried it, but she did too.
2nd, it works for PTSD really well. I can usually sleep through the night but still have occasional nightmares like going the wrong way on a breach to find an Arab pointing a gun at me. It's always some variation on that.
And finally, excellent post.
Shooting hoops is a bit different than running a locomotive, a drill press, or a cherry picker and even in those cases I will lean towards it being a relative non-issue if you aren't high at the time.
I never really had an opinion on marijuana until a veteran friend of mine came down with a rare and serious condition called "gastroparesis". It paralyzes your stomach muscles so that you can not digest food properly and causes severe vomiting episodes that can last hours due to rotting food in your stomach. It's terrible, and I've witnessed it first hand from the start of him getting sick.
He went undiagnosed for half a year. When he finally got diagnosed, he discovered that smoking marijuana actually relieved him of his symptoms when he ate. As long as he remained high, he generally would be fine.
One of the only two or three medications to treat this condition is called "Marinol". It's a synthetic THC. Here's the kicker, it's $1000 a month.
Unfortunately, for the past 2-3 years he hasn't been able to get a job because he can't remain healthy long enough without marijuana to pass a drug test. This year, however, he finally was able to get into a homeless shelter specifically for veterans and get some type of military insurance for at least two months that would pay for his prescription of Marinol. He's been able to eat and get into a routine lately and is now trying his hardest to get a job, even though he has been turned down multiple times from jobs that don't even drug test because of his condition and being homeless. Things are looking up for him, though. Which is great, because I've seen him at his absolute lowest in the past 2 years. If it weren't for marijuana and support from family and friends, no way he survives.
Figured I'd post this for the ones who are anti-weed, even though I'm sure it will have no affect on your opinion.
And to add, a lazy pot head will always be lazy regardless if they are high or not. I know plenty of very successful people who own and run companies that smoke regularly. So If you're against weed, you either have never smoked it, have never witness it's benefits first hand, or are blinded by your political associations.

Play games with words all you want. I am quoting medical professionals. They said it is poisoning. Maybe write a letter to the AMA and complain.
It is not weed. We know that because it's an indefinite suspension, the NBA does not do indefinite suspensions for weed.
Which is a bad look for Malik and hopefully he can overcome whatever it is and get back to the game he loves.
I’d eat the shit out of them but that’s just me.
Medical professionals in my state are prescribing it.
Wow. You just got triggered to move from micro aggressions to macro aggression!!
If they said it was poisoning, our health care is even worse than any of us ever imagined. If the AMA doesn’t know what poison is, that’s really bad.
good news though. You didn’t quote the AMA. You quoted a for pay “Poison control” site that appears to have a “donate via PayPal” link referenced on the main page.
And I never said otherwise. I was replying to someone who basically thinks that mj is completely safe. It isn't. There was a big story on the news about all the babies being born with health issues due to their mothers smoking pot. They, like many others, were clueless that just because it is legal and prescribed doesn't mean it is safe. It is still a drug.
Haha, this whole thread is a gag. Only on Rafters. Here's a thread about a former player and lets derail it into a debate about whether weed is good or bad for you. I love all of you guys.
