Aboushi: “I apologize for my actions & understand the repercussions. This is something I’ve learned from and I’m focused on moving forward.”

Caught with weed in his car back in January.

I know it's minor, but for shitsakes, why are you driving around with pot? Why?

 

[flgreen]

My goodness, since camp started this pre season has turned into a nightmare

 

[flgreen]

Not good for what has become a bubble player. He might be gone

 

[The Wicker Man]

Another genius.

Another genius.

95 percent of NFL players are complete morons !!!

Which brings us to the point ..... Since pot is legal in two of the NFL cities and accepted as a medical treatment in many more, and used by most of these morons.... why is it still an item where players get suspended for using it.

 

[Bronx]

That's why he has been 3rd string. I don't like Winters, so they need to keep him around. One screwup , if you learn from it, is not a huge deal

The 2 cities where its legal is still illegal to the NFL and is it is also true to the Military. Till it goes nationwide, it is what it is.

Athletes are freakin' retarded!! Here's how you handle it...1st offense 1 game suspension without pay but you still play. 2nd is 4 games and 3rd is 8 games and 4th is season long without pay. Stop punishing teams for these morons. 5th time is lifetime without pay. If these a holes knew they had to play for free without their 4 game vacation then they might change.

"Marijuana discipline: The punishment for a positive test is also changing. As is the case now, a first-time offense lands the player in the substance abuse program without a suspension. The primary difference is the punishment for a second positive test: simply a two-game fine. Each additional violation receives the following progressive discipline: four-game fine, four-game suspension, 10-game suspension. A player can therefore test positive for marijuana three times without getting suspended."

Aboushi's situation falls between the cracks. He didn't fail a drug test. He was arrested and charged with possession, the chargers were dropped, but he admitted he had it.

That left punishment at commissioner's desecration. He gave him one game, and in the drug program.

This means Richardson had to fail at least 3 pot tests in 2 years. Unreal

 

[BlindsideD'Brick]

Richardson's situation is far more troubling. The multiple failed tests, the race car driving, minor in the car, and let's see...what else...

Oh yeah. Calling himself godforshort. :scratching-head-smi

People say Pot is non addictive
I somehow wonder if that's true, because some people seem to risk everything they have...millions of dollars to have it

It's not physically addictive, like heroin or alcohol. There are no physical withdrawal symptoms, and your body doesn't crave it like other drugs. But, it can be psychologically addictive for some people.

That's exactly what addiction is. Psychological.
Heroin isn't addictive technically, your body develops a physical dependency.
At least that's what I remember from some college course I took when I was looking at maybe going into pre med.

It must be Rex Ryan's fault, right?
