A&M lost 2 guards today

[Dawg61]

Don't political posts belong on the Politics Board?

A&M losing two guards isn't political. Talking about weed legalization is but since weed isn't legal in MS this is something our sports teams might also be dealing with soon.

Yea they are basically down to 8 guys worth a damn and Wilson looks to be going down soon with his partial ACL tear. We need to run up and down the court on aTm. They are big as hell but we can easily wear them down if we press them and run up-tempo the entire game. They will be totally gassed by the 2nd half.

Looks like Pot possession. Damn what shitty and ignorant laws we have. If it weren?t for big alcohol, pot would be legal and we wouldn?t have an overpopulated prison system. Same thing with the groups who wanted to prevent Sunday beer and cold beer sales, does God care what day you buy it? Or drink it or care what you put into your own body willingly? And why would we outlaw something that has much less impacts on a human body than alcohol? Marijuana?

This may or may not help us but these laws have to change.

And to think it?s 1,000x safer than alcohol or even the pain meds they will prescribe the guard with the torn acl.

The pain med thing blows my mind. Weed is many times less addictive than opioid painkillers, and even if you get addicted, you just sit around eating Doritos and watching dumb movies, you don?t literally kill yourself with heroin after your opioid perscription runs out.

Apparently it is not either/or with Caldwell, he has gotten a DUI at aTm also

You can get a DUI without consuming any alcohol but most likely it's alcohol

It’s really stupid that pot is illegal. It’s also really stupid to get yourself arrested for it, knowing it is illegal.

I don't really have an opinion, but I personally know a few people who have moved from Colorado to another state because they claim pot is ruining the state. They claim pot stores are everywhere, pot smell is everywhere, homelessness is up, and they were having trouble with employees getting hooked and turning from good employees to worthless employees. I haven't been to Colorado in about 15 years, so I can't state the accuracy of their claims. But they've never lied to me before. And as a business owner in Mississippi, I can tell you from my personal experience, that pot ruined two damn good employees of mine (now ex-employees).

As someone that lives in Oregon, that’s some bullshit. Denver, Portland, and Seattle are all booming cities in states with legal weed, attracting businesses and jobs at a rate much faster than the rest of the country. Largely these jobs are professional jobs requiring college and advanced degrees. So if weed was literally ruining the workforce, seems like all these businesses would be looking to move elsewhere. Someone that shows up to work high is no different than someone showing up to work drunk, so would you make alcohol illegal by that logic? I can say that smoking weed at night doesn’t affect you the next morning, whereas having a couple too many drinks leaves you hungover even if you get up and make it into work, so you’ll spend a significant chunk of the workday at less than 100%. This said as a guy that has a garage full of craft beer and a liquor cabinet full of bourbon, scotch, and Japanese whiskey.

I'm simply stating what they claim, and said so in the post. As I said, I have not been to Colorado in 15 years, so I have no opinion (also stated in my post). They didn't say weed was ruining the Denver workforce. They said THEY were having problems with THEIR particular workforce (I stated that in my post also - THEIR workforce, not Denver's workforce). I can state with 100% certainty that pot ruined two of my good employees. Certainly other things can ruin good employees, such as divorce, alcohol, etc.

Were your employees ruined because they couldn’t stop smoking pot long enough to work or were they ruined because they got caught up in the antiquated war on drugs laws or antiquated drug testing policies that treat weed as bad as heroin?

They lived next door to each other. Started smoking pot, started coming in late, then started showing up about 3 days per week. Finally had to let them go. They weren't troublemakers. They just quit giving a damn. One worked at Dominoes Pizza after that for a few months. They are unemployed now, and have been for about 6 months. They live in Kosciusko with each other, because they have been friends since 6th grade. They admit they would rather smoke dope all day rather than work.

somebodyshotmypaw I hope I don't offend you with my post but it'd be a shame in my opinion for you to live your whole life with these fears towards pot. I think you should take a trip to Colorado for a couple days and see for yourself and indulge in it yourself. Discover. It's totally legal. Grab a cookie or brownie if you're against inhaling smoke of any kind. Get you a body high while you're chilling in your hotel room. Leave 1950 behind for good. Marijuana is one of the most amazing things this world has to offer and I'd hate for you to never discover that during your one time on this planet. Oh and my sister lives in Seattle and I've been there many times. All of what you posted is straight fear-mongering crap and you've been taken for a ride by whoever told you that garbage. Especially love the part about "pot smell everywhere" and "homelessness is up" though. That's some heavy shit man.

First off, I stated I didn't have an opinion. So I'm not living my life with fears towards pot. I never stated that at all and I'm not sure where you got that from. I only gave my personal experience with it and two ex-employees. And what I stated about that particular situation is 100% fact. I also simply told you what I was told and stated that I didn't have an opinion and had not been there. Actually, I'm scheduled to go to Denver in June 2019. "Pot smell everywhere" is what I was told and I admitted that I could not confirm. Same with "increase in homelessness". Can't confirm it but statistics do show that (HUD states Colorado's homelessness jumped 13% from 2015 to 2016 while nationally it was down 3%)

I honestly don't have an opinion for/against pot. I haven't been around it enough to really form one. So I'm neutral. But somehow, because I didn't jump on the "LEGALIZE POT NOW DAMMIT" bandwagon, then you think I'm against it. Hell, I admitted in the first sentence that I didn't have an opinion. Heaven forbid that folks like me have enough to sense to admit when they don't understand something. I know it goes against message board etiquette because on message boards everyone is supposed to be a 100% expert on everything. I was simply stating what I was told, and my very own limited experience with it. And I qualified my statements as such (note I said many times "THEY CLAIM").

Calm down. Smoke a joint it'll help.
