Vegas could probably keep you high on second hand smoke. If you can walk around downtown Lexington for 30 minutes and not smell weed your sniffer isn’t properly tuned. Weed is definitely the new beer.

without hearing the details, my knee jerk reaction is in this day and age, how is that a felony?
Point being he still broke the law in Alabama. Stupidly I might add.
A pound of weed is a decent amount of marijuana. The stuff isn’t exactly heavy.
A pound is quite a bit. Hard to claim medical use.
And it’s Bama. Funny Smokey grass scary!

Thought the exact.same.thing
And 20x as skunky as a back-of-the-truck, aged through the KY summer Milwaukees Best...
Video of Holloway trying to smoke 1 pound of marijuana:
According to my very quick research, First Degree Possession of Marijuana is a felony in Alabama because that charge is related to it being other than for personal use (and that is due to the large quantity in his possession) In Kentucky, he would have likely been charged with felony Trafficking. It's just a difference in how the laws are named.
Come on guys, dudes sitting on a pound ALL of you know exactly what he's doing with it. Regardless of anyone's opinion its illegal in Alabama. No way he should play this week.
I'd play him. Not smart to have that much in a state with draconian drugs laws, and way more than I would need for a year's supply. But in my younger days I could have ran through that myself in less than a year.
Hell I’d let him smoke on the bench during the game. Blow a smoke ring right in Doug Shows’ face.
March Reefer Madness. I’d actually pay to watch that, where every player must smoke before the game and at halftime. Coaches, too.
Might do Pope some good honestly to get high AF and then coach.
Im gonna say that “depends.” I don’t personally partake but in my younger days I had friends who would frequently have a total of a pound spread across 8 or 10 different strains. More recently I have friends who drive up to Michigan once or twice a year and buy in bulk. The people I have known who were dealing had 10+ pounds at a time.
If everyone could pop in to their local dispensary and buy whatever they want whenever they want, then yeah. If you are driving 10+ hours round trip you might stock up. In a household with two people one pound is a little over half a gram per person per day for a one year supply. Have you never had a one year supply of a medicine on hand?
Obviously yeah, you are probably right, and the optics are certainly bad, but 1 lb on a person who (let’s say) is heading home from a legal state to an illegal one could easily be one person picking up for himself and a few friends. Dealing, technically? Yeah, sure, but someone who is growing or dealing professionally would have way more than a single pound. I could be mistaken but I believe 16 ounces is the dividing line in Kentucky between misdemeanor and a felony.
Now, if you have the kind of money a modern college basketball players has obviously you should pay someone else to take the risk and pick up for you rather than ever having that much on you, but college basketball players are not known for their intelligence.

I could have ran thru a pound in a couple months in my heyday. I used to smoke a quarter bag a day.
Yep, over 365 days, a pound is about 1.25 grams a day, basically two good jays. Not hard to do at all if you smoke daily. Not to mention having extra for friends.
A drug task force searched his home, not a cop that smelled something during a traffic stop. That tells me this is probably part of a lengthy investigation.
As for Nate Oats, his team’s history and his response, says everything about him and the program he runs… imagine what hasn’t been made public. The man is trash, IMO.

Felony charges begin at 8 ounces, I think, in Kentucky. Draconian laws.

I get what you’re saying. I still see it as a dumb law that is chronically (pun mildly intended) outdated, especially the part about the tax stamp. As someone interested in the history of prohibition, I got a good laugh out of that.
That law had to be written prior to 1940.
I break the same law in Kentucky often and don’t harm anyone but me. I don’t smoke and drive. I don’t share my weed with minors. I usually do it in the comfort of my home.
It’s just silly to me that possessing 16 ounces of a plant can be a felony offense one place and you can grow the same plant in your house legally in another place, and both places are in the same country. As I said earlier, federalize and be done with the whole reefer madness thing.
He’s doing the same thing Billionaires and billion dollar corporations due legally every day. Selling drugs to make you feel better. It’s only illegal because it threatens the billionaires. I’d play him and wouldn’t think twice. And if anyone asked about it I’d laugh in their face.
You just described me.
I go out of state twice annually to stock up because it’s much cheaper than the local black market and the variety/potency is better + there are novelties and concentrates and all that other fun stuff.
If I ever got pulled over coming home, between my flower and my wife’s carts and edibles, we’d get charged with trafficking even though 100 percent of it is for our personal consumption.
If it were legal here, we’d hit the dispensary on an as needed basis and wouldn’t need to drive across several states with felonies in the trunk two times per year. It would be no different than going to the liquor store for a bottle on Friday night, which is perfectly legal and socially acceptable essentially everywhere. It seems silly when you look at it that way.
And 8 ounces is the felony/misdemeanor line for both trafficking and possession in Kentucky.
Bill Self is has this kid's number on speed dial now asking him if he wants to transfer to KU where anything goes. He'll be a jailhawk next year. Write it down.

Living in a legal state is just so nice. No worries about growing, I can have up to 12 plants. I can legally have 10 ounces in my home, and I can leave the cabin and carry 2.5 ounces with me, in my car or on my person; I can also gift up to 2.5 ounces legally.
That is nice. Very reasonable.
A lot better than being able to arrested for … 4 seeds and a few stems in a trashcan, which totally happened to me 26 years ago in Kentucky. I spent a night in jail and paid a $114 fine. Society instantly safer and better with me off the streets for 10-ish hours.
Cops acted like they busted a kingpin.I laughed at them. They didn’t like it.
Me: The seeds and stems are in the garbage for a reaaon. (They also didn’t find my actual weed that was hidden in a sock in my sock drawer)
Yes, but Oats disapproved of the killing of the young lady. His star player did not pull the trigger, he merely brought the gun to another player for the purpose of shooting or killing others. If he had actually shot the girl he would have likely been out for multiple games.
So we’re don’t care about law and order today?
I will agree to a point it’s dumb. But it’s still the current law.
You just said it yourself it would take you a year or so to go through that.
And we know he’s not high all the time or he’s not be effective playing.
I agree. Silly law. But he broke it.
It would maybe take a year now, at two smallish joints a day. That's really not heavy use even. When I was younger I could blaze through that in three or four months. I don't know anything about how his body handles cannabis, or what strains he's smoking, or how many people he gives it too.
We do agree it's a stupid law. He made a mistake by not having it properly secreted and secured somewhere else.
I don't know. The way Oatz knows the Judges, he may not have missed any time if he did shoot her.
People don’t understand how Tennessee and Alabama are about weed. They will seriously ruin your life. I used to ride around with Dime bags of bobby brown nervous as sht until I got back home. Even if they don’t lock you up, they’ll stain your record permanently forever.
Now Missouri has dispensaries near my hometown of Tennessee where I grew up, troopers legit sit at the state line and pull people over constantly. Living in Kentucky now it’s nowhere near as bad.
Aside from these kinds of issues just speaking of wins and losses, Alabama isn’t a good job. Not really. His NIL isn’t that great he’s been complaining majorly about it. I’ve heard from different places it’s not even top 8 in the conference. On top of that they get little support, they had a few hundred show up to a FF ceremony. The only reason they’re as good as they are right now is because oats is good enough to do it. You give Oats a prime Job with great NIL and a focus on basketball? He’s definitely winning a title. It’ll likely be Michigan state when it happens.
All programs aren’t created equal, he’s really held back by Bama and he still wins. His system might make things a tad streaky, but he’s going to win.
I still lol at the idea Nate Oats was offered Kentucky and didn’t want it. Hilarious what some believe. First of all imagine Mitch offering him in between 2 God men? Yea right. Secondly Alabama brand, no recognition, bad NIL, but sure he wouldn’t want a blue blood lol. Oats jumped in the same as Barnes did to attach his name to it. He was recruiting the same players as we were at the time. And he probably didn’t like it that he wasn’t being linked to it so he came out himself and did it.
Oats will do whatever it takes to win like most places, minus UK (Barnhart). Sometimes you get bit when you’re that way. He’s getting bit.
What’s bad is even CBD gummies are frowned upon. Like fire you frowned upon if you get drug tested. Which is crazy. They don’t even get that high. They mellow you out and do wonders for anxiety.
