Wait till Canada legalizes it and starts raking in the money. I don't think our country will ever legalize it (they will leave it up to the states) but I do think you will see a lot of states do it when they see the possible income string. Kentucky would be one the last to legalize though . Heck we still have a 30 or so counties that are dry.
Then, that should have been the sentence.
And, surprisingly; after two seconds of research... The largest state ALASKA does allow it.
The quote was mistakenly correct...go figure.
Step back from the ledge, brother. It was just a little weed. As my fellow cats posters have said, this is a non issue. Cal's had a few kids that couldn't stay off the weed since he's been here. It happens.
I think his point may be the multitude of issues (allegations) over the few years. Weed two or three times, battery, sex with minor, strippers, prostitution, sex in a public eatery by head coach, abortion paid by RP etc...
it's just different thought processes. probably made perfect sense to the guy how he wrote it and how he meant it.
it's hard to remember that on the internet you have to be ridiculously specific because you never know how the person or people you're talking with will read the sentence. I struggle a lot with it myself. sometimes (this time), it can take forever to get a post out because you want to get the thing out without confusing people. other times, I just let 'er fly and deal with the results.
with your usual circle of friends, family, and coworkers you can get away with being a little vague.
In reading others, that is one of my OCD's. That is why I make a very good expert witness, I catch those little details. Even though I probably do the exact same thing or worse.

That's the only way it can happen. Taking away federal prohibition is what leaving it to the states means. It's not like the feds will say "weed is legal, no state is allowed to prohibit it." Mississippi banned alcohol entirely until 1966, federal legalization of alcohol wasn't a mandate to the states to let people drink.
Proverbs 14:12 we are living in a if I want to do something its ok I will make a argument that what I am doing is no worse than what you are doing. Well a lot of us are not doing prescription drugs, pot or alcohol we don't beat our wives and try to live good productive lives. So now if I don't say what you are doing is OK that makes me a racist, just because you want to say its OK it doesn't mean its ok.
If you were honest,you'd find that Pot causes just as many social issues as any other illegal or legal mind altering drug ,yes alcohol is probably the worst of the lot numbers wise with Heroin coming I second,but you are not going to tell me that THC is completely innocent and has no problems what so ever.I've been there done that and you are only taking pointing fingers elsewhere to cover for what you like.Look that shit is worse because I smoke pot and I don't spend money my kids or family could use on something more important,bullshit.
I ran a small corporation both before and after I got sober and I saw first hand what these supposedly poor misunderstood pot smokers can be like,here's a list for you = Very Poor Work Ethic (would rather sit on the couch and get high and eat junk food from the munchies),Terrible memory (you can show some pot heads 50 times and they still forget how to do simple things,it causes poor or slower reflexes and judgement in drivers,it causes mood swings in heavy uses ,especially when they don't get high every day.
All that said I personally believe it should be legalized for medicinal purposes,but you'll never convince me it is the all good,no harm drug because I know better.
I may have missed this question & didn't read the last page of this thread. But how does this look to the COI when UofL didn't even know. I mean they're under the microscope with the investigation and should be running a very tight ship considering all of that. Yet they aren't capable of even keeping tabs of a current player getting into legal terrible.
Now that has no direct bearing in the investigation.But in the court of public opinion and more importantly those on that committee it has to hurt their views of how the basketball program is still being ran. UofL staff claimed to have no knowledge, it appears they still have zero clue what their players do if you buy that argument.
Perception beyond case facts played a part in Penn St scandal. IMHO the timing of this right before they go before the COI has to really paint them in an even worse light. It has to scream to those committee members that the convicts are truly running that program, and that an example has to be made.

This is demonstrably untrue and you contradict yourself immediately when you start discussing how different substances are more or less harmful than others. You then go on to treat stereotypes as descriptive, and your anecdotal experiences are an example of the toupee fallacy. Well adjusted and productive marijuana users don't broadcast that they're users because of the laws and (diminishing) social stigma against it. So you see the burnout who doesn't hide it, but you don't see the teachers, engineers, nurses, social workers, accountants, and members of many other professions who quietly partake recreationally. It's also a correlation vs causation issue. You see losers and dumbasses smoking weed and conclude the weed made them losers and dumbasses, not that losers and dumbasses turn to overuse of weed.
Fact is that scientific study has found zero effects on mental abilities from occasional use and temporary deficits in short term verbal memory only among heavy users that is lesser in effect than heavy alcohol use. There's no documented effects of "amotivational syndrome" - no evidence that weed makes people lazy. Lazy people preferring to get high instead of being productive doesn't damn weed anymore than the people I know who failed out of school because they played video games all night instead of studying damns video games. People who are high are going to be impaired, for sure, and nobody's disputing that somebody who uses any substance all day every day or goes to work impaired has a problem.
If you don't want to smoke, don't smoke. To each his own. But most of the propaganda against weed is ridiculous hyperbole. Just like the vast majority of people can have some beer and wine and even occasionally get drunk without addiction or negative consequences in their life, the vast majority of people who use marijuana are using it recreationally and it's not having negative impacts on their life. People who buy into the lazy burnout stoner stereotype would be shocked to find out how many people who don't fit that stereotype smoke occasionally or even frequently and don't broadcast it publicly. I'll talk about it on here where few know my real identity, but nobody I work with knows I smoke, nor does half my family. And they'd have no reason to suspect it, if their idea of a marijuana user is someone who fits the stereotype.
These are the humor messages right.
Obama didn't enforce the laws. Well, he never arrested anyone.
Need to find out why before condemning. The so-called immigration camps have detainees that have been there for years. It takes almost 1000 days to actually deport a person, 3 years in jail. Then the native country has to agree to take the person back.
Arresting them and housing immigrants costs US a lot more than letting them stay in their home.
Everything I said is true,you can find examples of functional alcoholics and Heroin users too,that doesn't mean it does not have harmful effects and you can find BS grant based scientific study that will agree with what ever point of view you stand with.Nomatter how you twist it there will be people that have no control on how much they spend their money on or how it affects their psyche.Pot today is even stronger than the stuff we smoked in my heyday,there are much higher THC levels in the scientifically perfected marijuana varieties of today,If the drug I dealt with had lower THC levels and still had some bad side effects then today's variety is worse.
You may get along your entire life with no ill effects,but for everyone able to do so there will be someone that is flip side,personally like I said earlier ,it should be legalized to control it,for medicinal purposes,as a farmer I have been pushing to legalize industrial hemp in Kentucky,but the big $ paper companies are tough to fight because Hemp will hurt their monopoly.
Just quit pretending that Marijuana is some "Saint" and only Alcohol,Tobacco,and Pain Killers are the terrible drugs,hell even Heroin and Cocaine has legitimate uses,in my day Dentists used Pharmaceutical Cocaine and before my time Heroin was a surgical drug. I just get tired of the "Pot" calling the other kettles black

Spot on. I have a degree, a high paying job that I passed a drug test to get, and I'm very responsible and caring of others.
Nobody I know knows except for the people I smoke with. I don't feel guilty at all. I just stay silent because of the way the ignorant majority's opinion is...as with most things.
By watching Jalen Johnson actions on the court, you could tell that this guy was no saint. Another way of putting it. the guy is a borderline thug.... PREDICTION, If Johnson transfers from UL. Would it surprise you if Bill Self & Kansas came calling ?
to the fyukheads complaining that California isn't the largest state.....I FIXED THE SENTENCE.
Thanks for the replies anyway. Amusing

Has never affected my memory none what so ever.. Actually makes me smarter because it slows stuff down to where I can actually understand whatever im learning.. And all my lawyer buddies smoke it regularly and they said in law school,, 90%+ smoked it.. Oh I've done plenty of coc back in the day but pot had nothing to do with me doing that.. I just like getting high.. I plan on staying high until the day I die.. Pot doesn't cost me a dime besides ordering seeds and the nutrients I put on them.. In 32 years I've never once bought a bag to smoke..
I'm envious. Lot's of great health benefits in the winter time for those with seasonal affective disorder to have those lights cranking in a good space too...not that I'd know.
I'm 42,, can't have kids,, don't wanna get married so why not do as I want? I've got nothing to lose but a good buzz to gain,, lol.. I done all the hard drugs from 25-35.. I'm just a stoner man whore nowadays..
Just so everyone understands, he was not arrested. He was not put in jail. No taxpayer dollars were spent. Possession of marijuana is a criminal offense but is not arrestsble. The story even said he was issued a citation.
As for the plate issue, it didn't say he did not have a plate on the vehicle. It said he had no VISIBLE plate. And no this does not mean it was just "not illuminated". What it does mean is that his plate was not mounted on the rear of the vehicle. It means he probably either had a temp tag in the window or his plate was mounted in the back window but could not be seen due to dark tint on windows.
Just wanted to clarify what his charges meant. I'll stay out of the whole marijuana argument.

These threads always turn into mountains. This here is a molehill.
- Non-smoker, but I find pot culture and jokes to be hilarious.
- No, the effects of weed are not as bad as alcohol or most any other major drug. I know this because I've seen the longitudinal studies and also because I've spent more than 5 minutes in a room full of drunk people and a room full of high people. In only one of those cases do I think there's a reasonable chance that someone gets seriously injured. In only one of those cases is there a major organ on its way to total failure.
- As entertaining as my pothead friends are, they tend to think that they're way more scientifically literate than they are because they skim the headlines from 420 friendly activist blogs. Whether it's politics, religion, or anything else, you're not going to get straight shooting if you only listen to advocates and apologists. Unfortunately, most very opinionated people on the internet wouldn't know a rigorous study if it bit them in the ass.
- They are wrong when they claim that there are no long term effects associated with heavy use. Don't take my word for it - go look it up in pub med, which is available to the general public. This isn't some secret knowledge that's hard to come by - it's just that certain people only look for things that confirm their beliefs. It impacts various parts of your nervous system in a non-trivial way. Your brain is a part of your nervous system.
- Again, those effects aren't as bad as those of alcohol, either short or long term, but they do exist.
- Hookers in the dorms.

I've seen the studies on short term memory loss, that were found to be reversible. I've seen the studies showing permanent developmental effects from teenage use. I've seen the studies on increase in risk of acute lung ailments like bronchitis, and on increased cancer risk for people who smoke BOTH weed and tobacco (though not from weed alone). As a smoker, if there is published evidence of non-reversible neurological effects from adult use, I'd definitely be interested in seeing it.
