Udonis Haslem busted for Drugs

[REEKO_HTOWN]

LeBron's list now includes the Florida Highway Patrol

[tofu--]

He sacrificed himself for the new reality show they're doing, obviously.

What a team player.

[J-Mac]

Anything that will make that Miami team weaker is a good thing IMO.

[BEAT LA]

And the downfall of the 72 win team begins.

....maybe?

[The83rdWonder]

Let the Juwan Howard curse begin..

[v3.0]

No big surprise.

This. It's only the beginning.

I wonder which Rockets players smoke weed?

My guess would be
Jordan Hill
Brad Miller
Jermaine Taylor
Kyle Lowry

C-bud is all over the weed...

Unfortunate, Haslem always seemed like a good guy on the court. Sucks that he has to get in legal trouble over something as harmless as marijuana~

Yao....he had nothing but time to waste last year....

[Carl Herrera]

Udonis Haslem is ****ing goodie two shoes soft. Even when he gets arrested for drugs it's a goodie two shoes Shane Battier soft drug like marajuana. If hard guys like Stephen Jackson get arrested for drugs, it would be crack or meth for sure.

[Rockets1616]

he should go to jail for at least ten years. anyone stupid enough to smoke pot poses a huge threat to society, and needs to be put away.

[BetterThanEver]

How do you miss a guy nicknamed "Bud"?

lololol. But seriously B-Miller just looks like the kinda guy that smokes weed.

[ABrooks0]

Yao Ming, Scola, and Battier should all be put on that list.

The Franchise did

[benvolio]

From what I see, it's a felony to possess more than 20 grams of Marijuana in Florida. The article state that they found 20 grams. Very convenient that he happen to have the max.

My guess is that this will not be an issue as long as it remains 20 grams.

[da_juice]

What is it with Heat forwards and weed? First Beasley now Haslem, next Bosh and Lebron.

[SuperBeeKay]

Hey bud, lets party

damn! 20 grams is a felony? thats not even an ounce. texas is 4 oz., i believe. and in austin under 2 oz. just gets you a ticket - the officer can arrest, but its at their 'discretion'.

any nba player who gets busted for pot is a dumbass - you are a multi-millionaire who probably lives in a bad-ass house with all kinds of giant tv's with the latest video games and swimming pools and go-karts and indoor bowling alley and a recording studio - if you were going to get high, where else would you want to be?

get one of your friends to buy it for you and bring it to your house - smoke it in your house and not in public - how hard is that?

there is no excuse for smoking pot in your car, especially when you are a "high" profile athlete. keep it in the house and nobody but your friends will know. its possible the cop made up the part about him smelling pot just to have an excuse to search, and if thats the case they should have refused to allow a search.

Reasonable suspicion?

[RedRedemption]

Even when it's proven Marijuana is less dangerous than some of the legal drugs out there.

[Spacemoth]

It's called World of Warcraft.

[Eddie281Houston]

put shane battier on the weed list lmao!!or maybe daryl morey ha! :grin:

[B-Bob]

Let the Juwan Howard curse begin..

[B-Bob's horribly hot Heat Hate are GO]
This is the 2nd bit of bad news since J-Ho was signed, I think. Didn't their 2nd year point guard hurt his ankle (or foot) pretty badly like two days after J-Ho signed?
[/B-Bob's horribly hot Heat Hate are GO]

[Rover16]

Michael Beasley was hiding in the trunk!

[TracyMacAddidas]

What is it with Heat forwards and weed? First Beasley now Haslem, next Bosh and Lebron.

There's A LOT of good weed in Miami. I live here I know. Now, I don't smoke anymore but most of my friends here smoke like it's a profession.

[jo mama]

Reasonable suspicion?

good lawyer?

[Steve_Francis_rules]

I was thinking sarcasm.

[Zero2Hero]

Seriously, is there an NBA player that hasn't done drugs?

[Jontro]

Man don't worry bout it. LerBon will set you free.

[jmwilliamson]

When you said busted for drugs I expected to be something that is actually hardcore. I've never drank, smoked or used any drugs of any sorts - and even I don't think of marijuana as anything more serious than drinking or smoking, and possibly less serious.

[BEAT LA]

you guys wonder how NBA players go broke?

when your that rich, be careful who you let in your circle.

If I were Haslem, I would buy the drugs myself from someone I didn't know....or send someone I really know to get them for me.

[The_Yoyo]

lololol. But seriously B-Miller just looks like the kinda guy that smokes weed.


considering he was suspended a few games for smoking weed I think he is more than just a guy who looks like he does


LAS VEGAS - I just spoke with a candid and remorseful Brad Miller about his recent suspension. After failing a drug test for a third time due to marijuana use, Miller will miss the first five games of this coming season and lose approximately $693,000 of his $11.3 million salary. Miller - who came into town yesterday to see the Kings summer league team in action - confirmed that the failed test took place near the end of the Kings' regular season.

http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/sports/kings/archives/013924.html

the link has a q&a with Miller about his drug use

[DaDakota]

What a dumbass.

DD

[Tesla]

When are we going to just legalize marijauna? People say it makes you lazy, out of it, etc., but Joakim Noah is a certified stoner yet he has arguably the best motor in the game and a great basketball IQ.

Some people, like Beasley, use it to self-medicate. He clearly has problems much deeper than the drug use.

[Codeo]

good lawyer?

Will he be able to prove that it didn't smell like weed in the car?

Yeah, because a player can play a stupid game while they are high is a GREAT argument for legalizing mary jane.

LOL.

Stupid game? Are they not playing it at the highest level possible? What other drugs can you use while playing at the highest level possible? That doesn't even begin to scratch the surface for reasons to legalize it.

[t_mac1]

everybody uses marijuana. the cops need to chill.

[DaDakota]

What the **** does that even mean?

Are you saying the "Highest" level possible because they are stoned?

Because otherwise, they are not playing to their peak, because...well they are stoned....

everybody uses marijuana. the cops need to chill.

Not true, most grown ups do not use it....

marijuana is actually not a bad drug if people want to use it leisurely. it's better than other harmful drugs out there like heroine or meth.

hell, people use marijuana to treat cancer or prevent nausea/vomiting in the hospital.

and most athletes smoke it and they do just fine.

i'm not gonna judge athletes if they use marijuana. hell, most resident doctors i work with smoked marijuana one or twice or thrice in their lives. it's all good DD.

relax.

Yeah, dude... just like, relax dude...

The guy got caught with something illegal... why are we acting like he did something wrong?

(Whether marijuana should be legalized doesn't help a case when it's currently illegal.)

Among other problems with this, he's got contractual obligations and a team counting on him... aaand I could think of other ways to spend my millions.

[DaDakota]

Using Marijuana is stupid.

(It does however explain your infatuation with Tmac)

You can sugar coat it all you want but it kills brain cells and is basically bad overall.

Just because a lot of people use does not make it "good" or "acceptable"....it just means a lot of people are making poor choices.

then drinking should be illegal. alcohol kills brain cells and causes more death per year.

a lot of other things should be illegal before marijuana use.

but we're getting into a topic that can go for days.

No argument that drinking is bad.

Don't try to move the goal posts, just because some dumbass is smoking marijuana doesn't mean it is ok because another dumbass is an alcholic.

[Shaud]

You really believe that?

Sure, there are exceptions to every rule, but most of the successful people in life are not on the coach slamming the bong.

How about I say...most people over the age of 28?

DD is really stupid, which is why I had him on ignore (thanks for quoting him guys). All of my friends who smoke pot are much more intelligent than him.

how wrong are you? or maybe it's just texas.

i'm interning in a hospital and i've already met 5 medical residents and 3 fellows who smoke marijuana once or twice a month. hell, they invited me.

maybe it's just california.

When you hit 30, you will not be smoking, trust me.......

Unless you are someone who is not an acheiver in life.....

Statistically speaking of course.

Look, all of you folks go ahead and smoke....I am not going to judge you, when you grow up and reach the real world where Drug testing and accountability are required, you will understand.

Money in the bank account and clear-headedness in life will help you see the way...nothing wrong with experimenting while you are young and dumb.

Ah, the old....one bad thing means that another one is ok argument.

Kids....SHEESH !!!!!

Look, I know a lot of you like to huff and puff, and you are defensive about it.

I ain't judging you, go ahead, get your puff on !!!!...

I am just saying, you will grow out of it, and the ones that don't will stagnate in life and become the losers that people my age disassociate themselves from.....

Growing up, and being successful means leaving the drugs behind.

You will see.....

DD

[conundrum]

nothing wrong with a leisurely smoke, here and there, ofcourse abusing anything is not good, but pot is purty harmless. Sure it can kill brain cells, so can alcohol , we only use a small fraction of our brain cells in life anyway. People can get all pretentious and self riteous and call someone who smokes weed out, with out knowing a thing about it. Stick to the rockets and go on a diet, you harm your body more by over indulging in fatty foods than in pot.

yes, udonis was dumb for getting caught, so many ways to avoid the situation.

So why did you edit the part where you wrote you have "multiple residences"?

It felt a bit pretentious, honestly.

Look, I am not judging folks if they want to experiment and try stuff for a while, but trust me.

Most people grow out of that, and the ones that don't end up being losers in life for the most part.

It is what it is.....at the end of the day, I am just a little closer to death than most of you posting here, and have had more experience in these matters.....no worries, life gets us all.

ive been making poor choices for 20 years now. graduated high school, went to the university of texas where i got 2 degrees, worked my way thru school, sometimes holding down 2 jobs, played in bands and traveled around and now run my own business...one long series of poor choices.

that being said, my job doesnt require me to not smoke pot, like the nba - how hard is it for these dudes to not get caught?

There are exceptions to every rule....

I am sure you are a shining example to stoners everywhere.....

Usually having kids stop people from using/abusing....

im 35 - most of my friends smoke too (i am in austin, afterall!). some of them are very successful.

Unless you are someone who is not an acheiver in life.....

ive done pretty well - no complaints! and again...20 year smoker.

i personally know a couple lawyers who smoke as well as an M.D. 8-10% of americans are regular pot smokers - you know people who smoke, whether you know it or not.

Look, all of you folks go ahead and smoke....I am not going to judge you

you said marijuana users are stupid, make poor choices and are underachievers - sounds pretty judgmental to me.

when you grow up and reach the real world where Drug testing and accountability are required, you will understand.

im a grown-up in the real world and ive been smoking for 20 years.

Money in the bank account and clear-headedness in life will help you see the way...nothing wrong with experimenting while you are young and dumb.

ive got money in the bank and no debt except for my mortgage (yes, somehow i managed to own my own house). i smoke pot in my house too...its great!

This is true, I think people who smoke pot after a certain age are not really all that smart.

im a grown-up in the real world and ive been smoking for 20 years.

Did you ever wonder if you quit how much MORE successful you would be?

ive got money in the bank and no debt except for my mortgage (yes, somehow i managed to own my own house). i smoke pot in my house too...its great!

I am happy for you Jo, of course you could be high when typing this...

;)

I hope you are not exposing your kids to it.

DD

[conundrum]

there is plenty of successful, young, entreprenuers and businessmen that par take in smoking, no they're not your typical, sit at home and smoke weed all day teenager. Just because you and the people YOU associate with do not ever, will not ever touch pot, does not mean their are not people in other places who are "successful" that enjoy an occasional smoke to unwind after a long week, long day, long month, whatever.

do what makes you happy, if you can be successful while being overweight and living in a square more power to you.

as for me I'll get up early, hit the weights or go for a run, bust my ass at work and maybe I'll ruin my life by having a few beers after work or smokin a hooter. :rolleyes:

[jo mama]

Look, I am not judging folks...

um, you kind of are.

Most people grow out of that, and the ones that don't end up being losers in life for the most part.

i didnt grow out of it and at 35 i can say that i will more than likely be smoking for the rest of my life. i love it! if that makes me a loser than a loser i am.

[DaDakota]

um, you kind of are.

True, I guess I am, I think it is stupid.


DD

[Jontro]

I smoked pot once... my friend put it in the sheesha we were smoking. I got really dizzy and puked. Never smoked again.

Nothing against pot users though, as long as they don't bother me with it, is koo'. However I had neighbors who did nothing but smoke 24/7 and stank up my whole garage and car port area. That was a bit of a nuisance.

[jo mama]

True, I guess I am.





Do you have any kids Jo?

DD

no and if i did i would not smoke - at least until they turned 18.

mainly b/c it is illegal and if caught you are putting your kids at risk of getting taken away by CPS. too much to lose.

for the record, i dont want kids - i prefer dogs!

[DaDakota]

As I said, it is stupid.

You sound like the exception, though I don't know your business or exactly how successful you really are.......I guess that is in the eye of the beholder.

I know a lot of people that never gave up smoking and now are simply the dregs of life.....I am 45 years old, and have seen many friends go down the drug highway all the way to death or ruin....

Just not worth it......I have no issue with folks trying stuff, but at some point, MOST grow out of it....

lol jeez some of you guys are like the government in here, 100% against pot.. I'm not a smoker anymore( for a couple more weeks) but i really don't see a problem as long as you don't abuse. I used to smoke only on the weekends though and will continue doing so after my DT in a few weeks, just have some self-control and you all will be fine(by the way im a college student with straight A's). Good luck to all you fellow pot smokers in here :)

Saying Marijuana is stupid is opinion. and it doesn't really kill brain cells. That's a fact. and can you please explain how it's "basically bad overall?"

and personal question for you; have you actually tried Marijuana before?

Get your facts straight. I can use Google too...

Fact: None of the medical tests currently used to detect brain damage in humans have found harm from marijuana, even from long term high-dose use. An early study reported brain damage in rhesus monkeys after six months exposure to high concentrations of marijuana smoke. In a recent, more carefully conducted study, researchers found no evidence of brain abnormality in monkeys that were forced to inhale the equivalent of four to five marijuana cigarettes every day for a year. The claim that marijuana kills brain cells is based on a speculative report dating back a quarter of a century that has never been supported by any scientific study.

[knote32]

Do you grow out of drinking alchohol? If you keep everything in moderation, I don't see the problem, or why it is considered stupid. Obviously eating 100 donuts, smoking 100 blunts, and drinking 100 margaritas is a bad idea, and stupid.

I don't see why Marijuana is any different than the above mentioned. Just keep it in moderation...

[HombreDeHierro]

screw prohibitionists. power to Udonis :grin:

[RoxSqaud]

I play games better while high.

Food taste better while high.

Sex is better while high.

Movies are funnier while high.

I actually drive better while high.

Weed puts everything in a different perspective....and it sometimes makes me realize things I have overlooked while sober. (only weed smokers might can relate)

......

Smoking too much is stupid. (If you can't easily afford it)

Smoking at/before work is stupid. (Job> Weed)

......

I'm amusing you haven't smoked weed....aside from you trying it a few times. (everyone has)

It's really not that bad....and I think it helps some things.

I think people should just focus on knowing when it's the right time to have a clear mind....but it's not like weed clouds your head up.

And yes, I think it is stupid.

[soydeedo]

From what I see, it's a felony to possess more than 20 grams of Marijuana in Florida. The article state that they found 20 grams. Very convenient that he happen to have the max.

My guess is that this will not be an issue as long as it remains 20 grams.

Earlier in the night, ESPN's site said that it was under 20g, so it was a 1st degree misdemeanor. After reading your quote, I went back to the story to quote it to let you know, but found that the article's been updated to say that it was in fact OVER 20g which is "a third-degree felony which could bring maximum punishments of a $5,000 fine and a five-year prison sentence."

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5466256

Sucks to be him, but I have to agree with some of the other posters on this board; what are you doing driving yourself around stoned when you're that rich? Then again, he probably wasn't thinking straight either...

[jo mama]

As I said, it is stupid.

You sound like the exception, though I don't know your business or exactly how successful you really are.......I guess that is in the eye of the beholder.

i never said i was successful, just that i had no complaints. maybe i could make more in a corporate job (probably not in this economy), but i measure my 'success' by the fact that i have a job which allows me to work out of my house, make my own hours and take vacations when i want. i have deadlines to meet, but i am my own boss - as long as i get what i need to get done on time its all good.

I know a lot of people that never gave up smoking and now are simply the dregs of life.....I am 45 years old, and have seen many friends go down the drug highway all the way to death or ruin....

are you still talking about doobie or hard drugs b/c i dont know anyone who took the marijuana highway to death or ruin. i have friends who took the cocaine highway or the alcohol highway to death or ruin, but the marijuana highway is smooth sailing.

sure, i know stoners who are lazy, flaky and unmotivated, but i know just as many non-smokers who are too.

can we at least agree that haslem is a dumbass?

i cant believe 20 grams is a felony in florida!

even if its some high-grade kb like i get here in austin its no more than $300 worth - how can that be a felony? how much does it cost the taxpayer to incarcerate this non-violent offender for up to 5 years?

either way, total dumbass for driving around smoking. no excuse for that.

[StanleyHartwell]

Sure, there are exceptions to every rule, but most of the successful people in life are not on the coach slamming the bong.

How about I say...most people over the age of 28?

Neither are they making hundreds of posts a day on an internet forum.

[goodbug]

Smoking weed in backyard is fine. And Haslem will never get caught for that. But having 20 gram in possession is illegal in Florida. A law is a law. You don't break it because you don't like it. You can't argue a speeding ticket by claiming you didn't have an accident. That's just the way it is.

Based on your views on law, I'm not sure how you think smoking weed in the backyard is okay. Is that not a crime? Are you saying it's only fine because the chance to get caught is so low?

We've seen you posting vids wasted off wine. You drink and eat unhealthy. That's pretty stupid, imo.. :)


Whether you like it or not, there are many benefits associated with smoking medicinal grade marijuana. It reduces the chance of getting stress related illnesses. It's known to enhance both sides of the brain. That's why writers & artists smoke and it helps elevate their work. I won't get into more but there are plenty of other benefits.

With this being said, it's still not for everyone. If you handle your biz, smoking bud isn't a big deal.

[Deckard]

When you hit 30, you will not be smoking, trust me.......

Unless you are someone who is not an acheiver in life.....

Statistically speaking of course.

Look, all of you folks go ahead and smoke....I am not going to judge you, when you grow up and reach the real world where Drug testing and accountability are required, you will understand.

Money in the bank account and clear-headedness in life will help you see the way...nothing wrong with experimenting while you are young and dumb.

DD
And you live in Austin. Go figure! Half the city council are casual users. We've had mayors, recently, who are casual users. Remember The Third Coast? You seriously believe that the tens of thousands who've moved here over the last couple of decades from California to work in tech related fields don't consist of a very large percentage of casual users? That a large percentage in your own field, game development, aren't casual users? Honestly, DD, I'm more than a bit surprised that you seem to honestly believe what you wrote about this subject. And I'm not saying if it's good or bad, just as the several people I know who love their single malt scotch, often to excess, are good or bad, as long as they aren't getting behind the wheel and driving.

Just try and keep your ears clean. Having your head in the sand can clog those suckers up! ;)

[Shaud]

While I disagree with DD saying most adults don't smoke weed I think some of you are just going at him because he's DD. He hasn't really said anything bad in this thread. Truth is if you want a good job you're going to have to stop smoking unless you want to risk giving your money up. If a job does random drug testing there is no way I would risk my job in this economy just to smoke weed.

[DaDakota]

LOL- wanna stir up a hornets nest - insult pot smoking.

You guys go on with your smoking.....have fun, come back to me in oh, about 10 years each and see where you are.

I will bet most of you will have moved on, from it.....

As I said, I don't care about college guys or guys just after doing it....have fun, just be careful, I am just saying that as life goes on, you end up giving it up.....you will see.

Until they make alcohol illegal, or decriminalize pot, then they are not equal in stupidity.

And yes, lots of folks that work for me partake in the smokeage, I don't actually care, as long as they do their job, but for the most part, those folks are also not exactly bristling with acheivement either.

If it is decriminalized (which I think it should be BTW)...then it will be on par with alcohol.

I do like all the folks taking my comments about Marijuana as a personal attack and immediatly start calling me fat, or drunk as a way of making themselves feel better.

Look, if you smoke....who ****ing cares? All I am saying is that as you get older (as a general rule) most people give it up.

You know why? Because people don't think its fair. Alcohol is so accepted that its almost disturbing. Its all fine and dandy to go out and drink as much as you want and throw up all over yourself. But if you enjoy smoking weed, you're an unmotivated loser who will go nowhere in life. How is smoking weed past age 30, any worst than drinking alcohol past age 30? The only thing alcohol has on marijuana is that its legal ($$$).

As for Udonis and other NBA players who get caught, why not grow themselves? They have a big ass house, why not cut the middle man out for safety reasons and grow for personal use.

Then work on decriminalizing it, life is not fair, but we are a republic, we can do something about the laws, work to get them changed.

Maybe if all those acheiving pot smokers that you guys are mentioning would get off the couch and work to changing the laws, it would happen.

;)

I would vote for decriminization of it....but I would also vote for tougher DUI laws if caught using it....so it is a double edged sword, I guess.

Haslem is now saying he didn't know, and that the pot belonged to a passenger of his, whom also told the police it was his.

And they might impound his car......

Problem is, the system of checks and balances in America lends itself to ridiculous waiting times for reforms of any kind.

Also, direct democracy is astonishingly rare, so I doubt you'd ever have a referendum on the topic-basically, people are never going to vote for decriminalization, at least directly.

If there was a referendum though, I have a sneaky idea that pot would win out-which perhaps is why there never will be one.

California is changing their laws, Alaska allows it, doesn't Oregon too?

If you make the laws about usage or possession so minor it does the same thing as totally legalizing it.

Look, if so many folks are using it, so many acheivers...like politicians, than eventually it will be changed right?

Or, could it be that most people stop using it as they get older, and have more important stuff to worry about?

You don't think they've been trying? NORLM (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) have been around since 1970. It's not that easy, especially since the majority of the country has been misinformed about marijuana for years.

And even if it was legal, it would not be on par with alcohol. Marijuana is no where near as dangerous as alcohol.

There was no more reason to get high. Basically they grew up.

And alcohol is legal, but your statement about it being worse than Marijuana is odd....

I would love to see that proof, from an unbiased source, please.

Here is one from a doctor who tries to answer the question of whether smoking pot is bad for you (http://www.dailystrength.org/experts/dr-orrange/article/is-smoking-pot-really-bad-for-you)

Some key points in the article:

Is it true that it makes you infertile? In men, marijuana causes decreased serum testosterone levels, sperm count, and sperm motility. This may lead to decreased libido (interest in sex) and impotence. An increased risk of infertility may result from changes in semen characteristics seen with marijuana smoking.

In women, chronic pot use causes shorter menstrual cycles and increased prolactin levels which may impair fertility.

Can you have withdrawal symptoms if you stop smoking pot? Yes, if you are a chronic user you may have withdrawal symptoms after abrupt cessation. Marijuana withdrawal begins within ten hours of the last dose and consists of irritability, agitation, depression, insomnia, nausea, anorexia, and tremor. Most symptoms peak in 48 hours and last for five to seven days. Some symptoms, such as unusual dreams and irritability, can last for weeks.


What about lung problems, will it cause lung disease? The association between tobacco smoking and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) HAS been established. Longterm pot smoking is associated with many symptoms of obstructive pulmonary disease: airflow obstruction, chronic cough, bronchitis, and decreased exercise tolerance. Regular smokers of three to four marijuana cigarettes per day experience cough, wheeze, and sputum production and exhibit abnormalities in the lungs equivalent to those who smoke approximately 20 tobacco cigarettes per day.

BTW - for those thinking pot smoking among adults is widely PREVELANT....

Among adults in the U.S., the prevalence of use has remained 4 percent since the early 1990s.

Obviously, smoking is not healthy. But to say people have not been misinformed is ridiculous. How do you think it became illegal in the first place? It wasn't always illegal. For starters, the cotton industry saw hemp as a threat because they were a major competitor. Enter the anti-marijuana propaganda and here we are now.

Fertility - First, she didn't provide a link to the study, or exactly how much marijuana affects these things. Someone who has been in the high state of mind, knows that they become horny as can be. She continues to make points that it affects fertility, but does not provide any information on the extent of it.

Withdrawal - Once again, not seeing any proof behind what she is saying. I have smoked marijuana nearly every day this summer, and now that I am visiting my parents I have not had contact with it in the last 2 weeks. I have felt nothing near what she is describing, and I have taken many breaks before for sports and vacations. Maybe I am not the norm, but I am friends with too many potheads and never once have they related to any of these when withdrawing.

Lungs - Have you heard of a bong? Or a vaporizer? I'm guessing not. Joints are hell on your lungs, and most smokers should know that. Hell I even had a joint phase for most of my senior year, and never had any coughing/wheezing problems. Not all forms of marijuana intake are the same.

DD you really have no idea man...read some articles that arent biased to either side and youll find out some real facts...Marijuana isnt the best thing in the world, but not once has anyone ever died from it...There is a reason that in no more than 5 years it will be decriminalized federally...DD get your facts straight you douche lol

[Al Capone]

It has been proven that weed is the most dangerous drug in the world. Between overdoses, car accidents, and accidents on the job, there are more deaths per year than alcohol. Smoking weed has also been proven to induce schizophrenia and turn people gay. There is no hardcore data that shows there is any medical benefits whatsoever to smoking weed, it is commonly known to be propoganda put forth by hippies, homosexuals, stoners, gangbangers, murderers and terrorists to get the drug legalized. This is a drug that should remain illegal and posession should be punishable to the fullest extent of the law.

Smoking out of a vaporizer is a good work around for that :p

Look, I don't care if you smoke, doesn't bother me one bit, just realize that you are taking a big risk, as it is against the law.

its really not that risky as long as you dont do stuff like drive around smoking weed. i buy it, take it back to my house and leave it there - not a problem.

I do like all the folks taking my comments about Marijuana as a personal attack

i dont take your comments about marijuana as a personal attack, but you seem overly judgmental wrt to pot smokers themselves - you said marijuana users are stupid, make poor choices and are underachievers - its easy to see how one might construe your comments to be personal attacks.

seems like you care alot.

All I am saying is that as you get older (as a general rule) most people give it up.

then call me rick astley cause im never gonna give it up.

your statement about it being worse than Marijuana is odd....

from a health perspective there is no comparison - alcohol is way worse. as a public safety issue (intoxicated driving/fighting/rape/ect) alcohol is way worse. as far as number of people who die per year its no comparison - thousands and thousands die each year from alcohol vs. none for marijuana.

that is asinine. i smoke everyday and went to guatemala in june - didnt smoke at all for over 2 weeks and i suffered none of these so-called withdrawal symptoms. i slept great, ate tons of good food, was not agitated in the least or irritable and most certainly did not have tremors. what a load of b.s. :rolleyes:

i am a consultant too - yes, people pay me for my opinions and my research.

amsterdam is really cool, even if you dont smoke. its so pedestrian friendly and scenic - amazing museums, good food, lots of history. i went to europe in 05, flying in and out of amsterdam. i had 2 weeks and this grand idea that i was going to go to amsterdam-berlin-prague-munich-heidelburg-cologne-amsterdam in that time. i ended up staying in amsterdam for like 5 days and went to berlin and loved it there so much that i stayed a week - cologne for a day and back to amsterdam to fly home.

and to keep the tread on topic, haslem is still a dumbass and i cant believe 20 grams is a felony in florida - florida sucks anyway, but its one more reason to not go there.

It has been proven that weed is the most dangerous drug in the world. Between overdoses, car accidents, and accidents on the job, there are more deaths per year than alcohol. Smoking weed has also been proven to induce schizophrenia and turn people gay. There is no hardcore data that shows there is any medical benefits whatsoever to smoking weed, it is commonly known to be propoganda put forth by hippies, homosexuals, stoners, gangbangers, murderers and terrorists to get the drug legalized. This is a drug that should remain illegal and posession should be punishable to the fullest extent of the law.

You're saying a lot for a guy named 'Al Capone'
