Why would they care about weed? Times they are a changing. Who do you judge harder? Someone who smokes weed or lies?

Thats not just a question to you, just a general question to society.

What about someone who lies about smoking weed? I guarantee you Kelly will say he was just there

Regardless, he will be a millionaire soon and we will all be eating 17ing Fruit Loops in our underwear on Sundays....not that there is anything wrong with that.

2/3rd round. He has a few elite people in his corner and a strong enough arm to where he could probably participate in the purge and still get drafted.

I'm never one to harp on an athlete getting busted for marijuana and I think it's awful that it's treated the way it is, no matter which team an athlete plays for. It should be decriminalized worldwide and I'm not even a smoker, I'm just up to date with the times.

I'm not meaning to start a political discussion on a sports board, but if you don't think the "War on Drugs" has disproportionately affected certain races and caused generations of harm, I don't think there's hope for you. There are fathers and grandfathers that have been in prison for a very long time which has caused untold harm to families and communities all for a possessing a "drug" that will likely be perfectly legal in half of US states within 10 years. That's not "throwing race into it;" it's discussing facts of a downright American tragedy that should piss everyone off.

I guess all the gangs will just have to disband once they legalize pot.

As long as the NFL has a drug testing policy that includes marijuana, the GM's will judge a lot harder on smoking weed than lying.

So what are you saying?

Are you saying certain races a genetically predisposed to break the law or are they not smart enough to understand what is legal or illegal? Take that racist hate speech back to the Plantation

Seriously, that's not cool who ever did that, which won't be hard to figure out. What a prick.

The blame squarely rests on Kelly. If he doesn't do stupid crap then he wouldn't have this issue.The reality is that it IS illegal independent of opinions that is a fact and all he had to do was keep his nose clean for 6 months or so while focusing on rehab to have a good shot in the NFL. That's stupid and on him. If he simply cannot lay off of weed for long enough to get himself in the NFL, then maybe it is an actual problem for him and not harmless for him. Looks like he may need two rehabs...

Sir, you are mistaken. Please notice that Deacon Kelly is not smokin in the picture. Clearly, this was a picture of him collecting the demon weed (with seed) from his wayward friends moments before he have them a heapin heppin of sweet baby Jesus scripture about the error of their ways.

Considering the pay for play screenshots didn't come out until after he had been picked, I'd say you're wrong. The NFL doesn't give two ***** about illegal NCAA benefits, I mean, Cam Newton did go number one overall.

It's a good thing he's doing something that's less harmful than alcohol.

You might want to reconsider. Just spent some time in Colorado and they are finding that pot can be just as destructive as alcohol.

While I was there, a guy was arrested for 'hit and run.' They found him naked and dancing in a City Park lake. Link
White admits he was speeding when the cars crashed on Colorado Boulevard. A woman driving a Prius was killed. Police say the speed limit on that road is 35 mph.

“I was going 90 miles an hour,” White said.

Brice asked the suspect why he was driving 90 mph.

“Being stupid,” said White. White says he smoked pot a few hours earlier, but did not feel high.

When some of my kitchen crew come in high i send them home and usually they end up getting fired. Why? Because they simply cannot do their jobs correctly while high. You can blast all u want about it not affecting people but its bs. Ive been arpund the stuff my whole life. Its a harmful drug to society. Just because it doesnt make you "drunk" doesnt mean not bad.

If you look at the sentencing by race it is very disproportionate. White male commits same drug crime and he will receive a lesser sentence than a black male.
Also, crack cocaine penalties are for worse than for same weight of powder cocaine.
These are facts. End the War on Drugs, legalize marijuana and open up the medicinal benefits for all.

I'm shocked!*** Cue all the dope smokers telling you that they are just fine and this is the exception, not the rule.

Johnny Manziel became a millionaire too but that didn't make him any less of a dubmass. I'll take eating Fruit Loops in underwear any day over his future.

By disproportianate sentencing rate do you mean more black people are sentenced than white people, or a higher percentage of black people charged are sentenced when compared to the percentage of white people sentenced after being charged? There are a lot of factors that go into sentencing, race is not one. Blaming the justice department for targeting one race is crazy. Maybe certain races need to quit teaching their young people it is OK to ILLEGALLY smoke weed.

What is the point of your Crack vs cocaine statement? Both are sold to all races.

No way in hell he gets drafted 2/3 round. I agree he gets drafted but it'll be in the 5th or 6th as a project to groom.

Its a harmful drug to society. It has more benefits than harm sir. Doctors are more harmful to society than anything else. Here lets dish out drugs to mask the problem and not solve the root cause.

As you should. It has its time and place and people that are dumb enough to use it before coming in to work or while driving are probably not going to be good employees or citizens. That's why, like alcohol, it is still a crime if you are found with enough in your system while driving under the influence.

I don't know how you guys are confusing this. No one is saying we should treat it like water and everyone is free to use it whenever they please. It's still a drug like alcohol that causes a period of impairment and people shouldn't do stupid things during that time like drive or go to work.

We're stating it should also be decriminalized and people should be able to use it in their homes for leisure and for its long list of beneficial medicinal uses. With the less harmful impact on your body, it's a healthier choice than alcohol and shouldn't have the negative stigma it has just because a bunch of old, staunch white guys decided it should be illegal many years ago and now a bunch of old staunch white guys still think it's the devil.

Wow... Yes to both...

Crack cocaine sentencing presents a particularly egregious case.
Since the 1980s, federal penalties for crack were 100 times harsher than those for powder cocaine, with African Americans disproportionately sentenced to much lengthier terms.


Nearly 20 percent of whites have used cocaine, compared with 10 percent of blacks and Latinos, according to a 2011 survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration — the most recent data available.

Higher percentages of whites have also tried hallucinogens, marijuana, pain relievers like OxyContin, and stimulants like methamphetamine, according to the survey. Crack is more popular among blacks than whites, but not by much.

Still, blacks are arrested for drug possession more than three times as often as whites, according to a 2009 report from the advocacy group Human Rights Watch.

Of the 225,242 people who were serving time in state prisons for drug offenses in 2011, blacks made up 45 percent and whites comprised just 30 percent, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Jamie Fellner, author of the Human Rights Watch report, offered an explanation for this discrepancy.

“The race issue isn’t just that the judge is going, ‘Oh, black man, I’m gonna sentence you higher,’” she said. “The police go into low-income minority neighborhoods and that’s where they make most of their drug arrests. If they arrest you, now you have a ‘prior,’ so if you plead or get arrested again, you’re gonna have a higher sentence. There’s a kind of cumulative effect.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/17/racial-disparity-drug-use_n_3941346.html

A 2013 study by the American Civil Liberties Union determined that a black person in the United States was 3.73 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than a white person, even though both races have similar rates of marijuana use.[SUP][10][/SUP] Iowa had the highest racial disparity of the fifty states.[SUP][11][/SUP] Black people in Iowa were arrested for marijuana possession at a rate 8.4 times higher than white people.[SUP][11][/SUP] One of multiple factors that explains the difference in arrest rates between whites and blacks is that blacks are more likely than whites to buy marijuana outdoors, from a stranger, and away from their homes.

A 1995 Bureau of Justice Statistics report found that from 1991 to 1993, 16% of those who sold drugs were black, but 49% of those arrested for doing so were black.[SUP][18][/SUP]

In 1989, black and white women had similar levels of drug use during pregnancy. In spite of this, black women were 10 times as likely as white women to be reported to a child welfare agency for prenatal drug use.[

A 2012 study found that African American youth were less likely than white youth to use or sell drugs, but more likely to be arrested for doing so.
