Jerry Jones and NFLPA working to change NFL Marijuana policy

You can't throw that out here and not give the results bro. What did they say?

They said weed makes him happy, he choses to be happy constantly

Well, granted, I don't know boozeman personally... and I can't speak for him.... but in reading this thread, I took from it he isn't anti-legalization of marijuana.

When you see people make claims that don't make sense then you assume it is sarcasm. I don't have that much faith in people.

Maybe he plays the heel in these discussions repeatedly over the years. I cannot speak for him either.

In my experience, sarcasm is denoted by a drawl. When you deadpan the delivery, it's considered passive aggressive backbiting. I get the current medium is obtuse to such conventions but it's there just the same.

lol. Especially when your driving!!

The thing is most people dont realize is that if you use herb therapueticly, daily, you become accustom to it and can function very alertly! Its the recreational or occasional use while drunk that can be overwhelming for many.

So people like me who have smoked herb most their adult lives, and at age 45 have never had any kind of ticket or accident are just fine, in fact it can make one safer and less impatient of a driver. A driver in a good mood is a nicer driver, Im an "after you mamm kinda guy"

Many medications have side effects and say to avoid operating machinery etc. until you see how it affects you and/or get used to it, I reccomend the same for herb.

Being a grower/ breeder theres also extremely varying strengths and effects. Sativas are very antidepressing and motivating, I have some strains that give me great energy and focus, ready to hit the gym swing on a rim!

I also have some indicas and kushes that are very relaxing and much more narcotic, great for anxiety unwinding, sleep and pain relief, and the harvest time dictates the strength and effect to a large degree.

If you harvest a plant on the early side when the trichomes are clear you will get an "uppitty high" very functional high, I harvest my daytime meds early.

If you let them go a week or so longer then you usually get a more relaxing body effect or even a "couch lock" effect if left to long. This is great for sleep!

I personally breed and test strains for beneficial effects, there are absolutely bad strains imo that should be thrown out, and I do! I get rid of strains that cause confusion and anxiety, my stuff is phenominal!

But if youre living where youre just getting whatever bag of weed u can, well then that would be like taking different pills everday kind of, id be all over the place lol!

BS! I smoke weed and am a master breeder/grower here in CA for many thankful adult patients who enjoy a much higher quality of life and at times get tremendous healing benefits even from cancer from therapuetic cannabis.

Ive smoked since 16, I live a healthy life (thats me in the blue hat in my profile pic playing ball at 40 years old with Ron Artest)

I have no speeding tickets in my adult life and zero criminal records, no duis or assaults.

I have been happily married for 14 years, have great wife and 3 beautiful children and Ive never, ever considered hitting any of them!

This ignorant gateway bs is for hypocrytical idiots who have no real education on the subject.

Every night when Id leave Venice after playing ball there would be some drunk punks fighting!

Me and my buddies passed the legal joint around while shooting ball on the beach doing pull ups in the sand at sunset and offering free health food and coaching to innercity youth on the weekends.

People do what they do, some cant handle smoke or booze or pain medications or even food, I can, and so can many other reponsible adults! And its none of yours or roger godells fooking bussiness imo!

I live in Tahoe now, right by the nevada border where gambling and prostitution are legal so give me a dam break when former head of the dea John Ashcroft stated after years of government studies that "Cannabis is one of the safest therapuetic substances on earth"

Tristan do you sell to any of the local dispenseries? I'm up in Valencia. I'd throw a board member my money any day!

 

[CowboyStar88]

Maintain a budget??? you pulled that phrase out of nowhere! You're not making any sense, in case you wondered.

Between discussing propaganda rocks and budget maintenance, I've come to the conclusion that neither of you will listen to anything reasonable. Goodnight.

Reasonable? You claimed it was dangerous! You're the one who isn't reasonable.

 

[AbeBeta]

You lie.

They get high. Then get drunk, then beat the girlfriend.

Gateway.

Gateway to alcohol?

Ignant.

 

[AbeBeta]

Weed is dangerous. And for the sake of all the players, the commish should ban anything that endangers their health...besides football, that is.

Weed is dangerous? How so?

You want to pull out the dangerous card, just compare to alcohol. You'll lose

 

[AbeBeta]

whatever, this is the best chance to get gregory on the field.

Yeah, that's the important issue here.

Thousands of people are in jail over weed - non violent criminals dispraportionately sentenced (white folks get off). But yeah, Randy Gregory, that's the real issue.

lol if it does not involve gregory, would this topic get a nanosecond on this board?

Well, some of us have brains and are concerned with issues that go beyond Gregory. Thank you for identifying yourself as not one of those people

 

[Doc50]

You can't throw that out here and not give the results bro. What did they say?

Yes, I can. His situation is unique, complicated, and private.

If I had the detailed medical records, I would not be able to share them.

Rest assured, the Cowboys have explored every angle in evaluation and treatment of this asset.

Ok, understanding HEPA laws I have read that he has anxiety issues before stemming from his childhood. I also understand a person working with the case cannot report private medical findings. So if you're just standing up and raising your hand to say I know something but can't say anything... why? Just keep it all to yourself, then you won't get follow up questions.Im not interested in his actual issue what I wanted to know is DID they find anything. Get the stick out your behind I'm not that interested in the case just hoping they've explored more ways to help him as opposed to just kicking him to the curb. Which it seems Goodall is going to do.

It's HIPAA and if he shares that info he'd be breaking HIPAA. Him standing up and and saying anything was from answering a question. You say your not interested, yet asked if they found anything? He also answered your question. See the very last sentence at the bottom? He's telling you what you want to know, but you're just not seeing it.

Hey Doc! Always a pleasure when you post! Thanks for the insight.

Hey Doc! Always a pleasure when you post! Thanks for the insight.

Should I thank you for the correct spelling now? I asked if they found anything he said they're evaluating and assessing that's not yes and that's not no. As I said it's been stated before they believe he had anxiety disorder or something as a kid or somewhere around there. I didn't ask for a breakdown of his condition it was did they find anything. If he is working on the case he can't speak on it if not a simple yes or no isn't violating any HEPA, HIPPA, HIPPAPOTAMUS, or any other laws. So no the question was referenced and eluded to not answered. Glad you two have such a great relationship you have to speak for him.

Is the role of my employer law enforcement? Is the role of most of them? Yet they have drug policies in place. We can be tested and if we test positive, we can be fired. I don't see anything different here.

If you take part in a legal activity, then your employer has the right to take action on that activity. Right now, smoking marijuana is an illegal activity on the federal level. The NFL is not law enforcement because it cannot put you in jail for that activity, but it can punish you as your boss, and I agree that it should as long as it is illegal.

but it can punish you as your boss, and I agree that it should as long as it is illegal.[/QUOTE]
why for gosh sakes thats just mean spirited

https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/does-marijuana-use-affect-driving

Marijuana is the illicit drug most frequently found in the blood of drivers who have been involved in vehicle crashes, including fatal ones.10 Two large European studies found that drivers with THC in their blood were roughly twice as likely to be culpable for a fatal crash than drivers who had not used drugs or alcohol.11,12 However, the role played by marijuana in crashes is often unclear because it can be detected in body fluids for days or even weeks after intoxication and because people frequently combine it with alcohol. Those involved in vehicle crashes with THC in their blood, particularly higher levels, are three to seven times more likely to be responsible for the incident than drivers who had not used drugs or alcohol. The risk associated with marijuana in combination with alcohol appears to be greater than that for either drug by itself.8

Several meta-analyses of multiple studies found that the risk of being involved in a crash significantly increased after marijuana use13—in a few cases, the risk doubled or more than doubled.14–16 However, a large case-control study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found no significant increased crash risk attributable to cannabis after controlling for drivers’ age, gender, race, and presence of alcohol.


Endogenous cannabinoids such as anandamide (see figure) function as neurotransmitters because they send chemical messages between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the nervous system. They affect brain areas that influence pleasure, memory, thinking, concentration, movement, coordination, and sensory and time perception. Because of this similarity, THC is able to attach to molecules called cannabinoid receptors on neurons in these brain areas and activate them, disrupting various mental and physical functions and causing the effects described earlier. The neural communication network that uses these cannabinoid neurotransmitters, known as the endocannabinoid system, plays a critical role in the nervous system’s normal functioning, so interfering with it can have profound effects.

For example, THC is able to alter the functioning of the hippocampus (see "Marijuana, Memory, and the Hippocampus") and orbitofrontal cortex, brain areas that enable a person to form new memories and shift his or her attentional focus. As a result, using marijuana causes impaired thinking and interferes with a person’s ability to learn and perform complicated tasks. THC also disrupts functioning of the cerebellum and basal ganglia, brain areas that regulate balance, posture, coordination, and reaction time. This is the reason people who have used marijuana may not be able to drive safely (see "Does marijuana use affect driving?") and may have problems playing sports or engaging in other physical activities.

Will it matter? Mara and his puppet the commish and a lot of owners think Weed is dangerous.

Fixed it.
