Now I'm not going to come down on him because I think marijuana should be decriminalized and regulated, but he's got to be smarter than this, especially as one of the veterans on this team.

Keep the weed at home.

unless its like insane gilbert arenas/drug level amounts of weed im going to kind of sweep this under the rug given farieds track record. I agree with you 100% MDB... you have to be smarter then that even if its just some weed (already decriminalized here in MA, thought it was in NJ also???). on the flip side, cops... can be... racist dicks. so who knows.

my initial reaction when i clicked on the link: " I hope its just weed"

NJ is working towards it, NYC I think is set to decriminalize up to a certain amount if i'm not mistaken.

Yeah I'm not even going to hold this against him. He made a mistake. i could care less if he smokes weed, just do it in the comfort and safety of your own home. Its not worth it.

I'm glad you brought up the cops because I'm still wondering how he ended up being searched unless they smelled weed at the checkpoint.

A guy I know has PTSD and used to smoke an ounce a day he says now he's on probation and can't smoke he went to rehab and was freaking out without it. He'll just be put on prescribed drugs instead that have worse side effects/can screw up the system worse.

Another war veteran I know has PTSD and said the drugs he was put on don't cut it the pure ganja is the best thing for PTSD and other mental illnesses.

As far as Faried it should be thrown out he comes from Denver where its legal.

I have PTSD but I found that weed made my anxiety worsen so I quit it back in 2012. But of course it could have been the particular strain i was smoking since some strains made me relaxed and others made me very nervous. Once NJ legalizes it I will try to find a strain that is good for helping with anxiety especially at night when it really becomes bad for me and I can't sleep.
