Marijuana tourist Zeke

Not a big deal but he probably should have just avoided it. Although I am sure someone from the league office will make a call to the Cowboys.

"probably"? LOL

Dudes playing with fire. Got a lot of responsibility and potential. Don't blow it Zeke.

Who window shops weed?

Im sure I would, atleast once just to see what a weed shop looks like

 

[jchap]

Just legalize it nation wide already

I sincerely doubt that most fans care whether or not the players smoke pot. Most fans care if they fail drug tests and get suspended, that's it. As long as they are smart enough to stay out of the program they don't have to submit to random tests and they can do whatever they want during the season, since the NFL isn't drug testing them during the season. Play well, don't get suspended, and nobody cares.

If I had to bet, I would say that the NFL doesn't care if you smoke either. But to be politically correct they are forced to enforce the rules. It's not like it is random testing. I would imagine they get frustrated having to punish people when it would be so easy to pass with one ounce of discipline.

Gimme a BREAK. Guy has NO business being near that place. He's a dope...literally and figuratively. I said that when we drafted him. He's talented, but loves to party. Same with Bosa...multi million dollar talent and ten cent heads on both of them.

Blah blah blah you sound ridiculous

~90% of NFL players use marijuana. Every player knows when the test will be given, and how long they have to stay clean to pass the test. Only the idiots get caught. And, once caught, you're subject to random testing. Which is why busted players repeatedly get caught, while players who were never caught can use throughout the season without fear of testing. Most players use marijuana to "nurse" their injuries/pain, rather than the far more harmful meds that team doctors issue. But, Zeke has got to be smarter than this. Dude, send one of your boys to do your shopping.

So the NFL can't throw a "random" drug test unless he has already failed? I knew players who have failed get a lot more drug tests, but I didn't know they are the only ones who can get randomly drug tested.

You have to do something to get into the program to be subjected to random tests. I'm 90% certain that they literally test guys once a year in training cam and that's it for everyone who is not in the program.

Correct. Only if you test positive are you subject to random testing. However, their may be an exception when the league has suspicions because of this type of exposure that the league may impose random tests on a player. I'm not sure. Maybe someone here knows the specifics. Please chime in guys.

I'm pretty sure you can get into the program for things like being arrested for possession or a DUI. So you don't need a failed test, but you need some kind of hard link to usage.

What is this now?

Correct. The league knows that most of the players use marijuana regularly. So, they placate the fans/media by appearing to be "tough" on drugs by giving out a standard test. Every player knows when it's coming and how long they have to stop smoking in order to pass the test. Once passed, they can resume using throughout the year. If the league tried to crack down on marijuana, the players would revolt. They don't want to use the "poisons" prescribed by team docs and instead choose the less harmful marijuana. It's sad that this miracle drug has such a negative stigma that players are forced to hide its use. But, if they were walking out of a pharmacy with some "poison" that's been prescribed by a doc no one would care. We're such idiots!

Yeah, not sure but most workplaces have contingency for testing if you start acting like you need to be tested. For instance, if you were a certain Commander CB, your employers have a right through certain documentation steps to legally get you tested.. No team would exercise it. But if you start causing enough problems it is an option.

This is how it is in my labor contract and the NFL may be different, but these are pretty standard in labor contracts.
