Aden Holloway writes apology letter

Didn’t read, but likely another case of:
“I AM SO SORRY (I got caught)”
“I AM SO SORRY (I got caught)”
Demon weed and the Internet leads to drinking and then gambling .
All the good thing in this perverted life. Make people pay $1000 a month to own a pickup, makes people throw their neighborhood in jail for not wearing a mask, and allow anonymous people to become influencers to buy things no one needs.

Aden Holloway’s agents’ ChatGPT account writes apology letter*
What a loser that young dude is having the freaking marijuana on him. Holy crap he should burn in hell for smoking the pot.
Imagine if they made tomato plants illegal or any other plant people like. And how dare that young man apologize for such a violent offense.
Love reading Alabama players criminal charges on the Kentucky forum. Just me trolling ....... Or am I ...
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anyone saying he should be punished more breaking laws concerning marijuana than any other law.
As far as whether or not it should or should not be illegal is an entirely different conversation. I am not sure where I stand regarding exactly how much regulation/restrictions should be in place regarding it, but too many people now act as if weed is harmless. There is pretty significant association with worsening of several mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, etc.
You can certainly make a similar argument regarding something like alcohol, and I would not disagree b/c alcohol probably causes more harm/deaths in this country than marijuana. I have no issues with someone drinking alcohol, but data that shows how much harm alcohol related deaths/injuries are why I stated that I am not sure how stringent regulations should be... for anything like alcohol or weed.
My point is I don't think we should act like things are harmless when they are not.
A joint is one thing. Over 2 pounds is another. That wasn’t his smoke juicy fruit, that was his big sale of the week. I’m all for giving a kid a break, especially if he’s doing something with his life. Don’t make him the poor little kid who doesn’t know better though. He knows exactly what’s up and he got caught, now he’s sorry. Wish him well and move on, but don’t act like he’s some sort of victim. He also had an unlabeled bag of promethazine, so he was either making meth or selling it to someone who was making it.What a loser that young dude is having the freaking marijuana on him. Holy crap he should burn in hell for smoking the pot.

edit: Had I saw your other comment on why you wrote it but tomatoes? lol. That was a little far.

My take hasn’t changed.
I don’t care if it was his personal weed to feed an ounce a day habit or if he was selling it to fellow students as a black market capitalist in a backwards prohibition state.
It’s a plant that is sold legally to adults at a store in half the country. I could argue if it was legal federally, nobody would need 2 pounds because the weed store is right there. But the south is gonna be the south and move 3 decades behind everyone else because it’s what the south does.
Prohibition doesn’t work. I’ve been smoking since the mid 90s and never had trouble finding it even in illegal states. Quality, however, fluctuates on the black market - you can get dank nugs from a grower or in my day brown bricks from Mexico that small like ammonia. Lastly, 2 pounds isn’t a small amount but also isn’t a large scale operation. There are much bigger fish than this dude.

Of course they’re sorry they got caught.
. I’m glad you learned from it. Hope he does as well. And you’re right, he’s not a loser, just a kid who made wrong life decision. He’s got the break of a lifetime so I really do hope he makes the most out of it.
There’s no angles here, I doubt anyway. I’ve been lucky a few times myself but do have a few hours logged in the old drunk tank. lol. This kid has a golden ticket with his talent, he can make a ton more money than most people working for a living without a doubt. It’s up to him. He can be a good story or a tragic one.
"With proper completion of the rehabilitation program, Holloway's charges for first degree possession of marijuana and illegal possession of a prescription drug will be "set aside and dismissed," per court documents obtained by The Tuscaloosa News on Tuesday, June 2.
In addition to 50 hours of community service, random drug and alcohol screenings and a payment of $150 monthly, Holloway also was required to write a letter of apology for his actions."
My comment wasn't meant to sound like an old vs young people thing... it's a medical thing. Sure, when considering drinking and drinking, weed is harmless compared to alcohol. However, for individuals using it, the data doesn't support that it's "harmless"...even though many think it is, and anecdotal opinion/evidence is usually the worst kind. That's why we require evidence-based studies in the medical field.
1977 for me and you are correct. Its nice to go to a Michigan dispensary and get it cheaper than when I bought it in the 80's and much better quality. Never slept better than I have since I started taking a 20 MG gummy when I go to bed. Screw ambien.
I agree with everything here… If he was so into the stuff, he should have committed to Michigan or Michigan St., instead of backwards Alabama… There’s a pot “candy store” every other square mile in Michigan, and he could get an ounce of 1g pre-rolls for $30
anytime he wanted… If he’s 21 or older, that is.
I love growing my own in Michigan. It's so nice not to have to worry about it. I love growing it as much as consuming it.
Personal testing has shown me it harmless. Could it have some effect on the lungs. I'm sure bit mine are in great shape.
Millions of older people use herb. I was surprised at the ages of the people in Michigan

Phenergan is a prescription drug. He had an unmarked bag of it. Hmmmm. Sounds like distribution to me.
Yeah for example, Poppy plants. That would suck.What a loser that young dude is having the freaking marijuana on him. Holy crap he should burn in hell for smoking the pot.

I would think turning a poppy plant into cocaine would be incredibly difficult...
You'd probably get better cocaine using the coca plant.
I wouldn’t say weed is harmless compared to alcohol. I’ve had twelve surgeries, my son in law gave me a brownie a few years back saying it would help with pain and I was blitzed to the point I couldn’t get out of bed for two days, speaking to Jesus and doing higher level math in my head and thinking all kinds of crazy ****. None of this crap is good unless done in moderation and both seriously impair one’s judgement.
You just cut them and drain out opium. I had a friend who was an addict and when he couldn't find a fix he'd make tea out of the poppy seeds from the grocery store and get blistered just from the residual opium left on the seeds.
That's fair... my statement was incomplete. I was intending to say when comparing injuries/fatalities related to alcohol, weed doesn't compare at all. However, there is plenty of evidence that suggest that weed is definitely not harmless.
I know a guy that lives out west, in a really remote place. He grows a few now and then to collect the resin. He keeps it for emegency pain medicine, and considering where and how he lives I understand. That's all he keeps it for.
Yeah but why does it have to be harmless? We don't hold anything else to that standard in terms of legality
Does it cause problems writing complete, coherent sentences?
Not that I have ever found but I'm an accountant not an English major so writing has never been my strong point.
Not saying it should be illegal at all, just policed like everything else. Guess my point is no substance is harmless if done in excess but a lot of society will tell you weed is much safer than alcohol, hear it all the time.
The gummies were a game changer for my wife. She’s suffered chronic insomnia for decades. Ambien made her bonkers to the point I had to hide her keys in different places at night and trazodone didn’t work. Gummies, same dose as you, gets her to sleep within an hour every night and she stays asleep.
I've used cannabis medicinally for chronic multiple issues for years. My doctors have known how I do it, what for, and they even said years ago if it were legal (then, which now for me, is) , they'd prescribe it to me just as I learned to take it. I basically microdose, as the kids call it these days. LOL! who ever knew my old midnight toker self with my old dugout would be a microdosing advance in medicine ? haha! And now, I just vape my flower, anyway.
I think in this case, you can give him a second chance, and it's a step in the right direction apologizing. Hope the young man can get back on track to being as good of a person (and basketball player) as he can be.

My man. I still carry my dugout with me wherever I go. So handy, so economical.
