FWIW, it didn't say they were in prison.

True, fair play. I saw pardons and had in my head that they were currently or had been imprisoned for the convictions. But pardons for the convictions works too.

Significant?

Significant?

Sounds good to me. Is the NFL gonna follow suit?

Sure, but not until the next CBA gets negotiated, and they’ll want something (like an 18th game) in return from the players.

Indeed. Ugh. I hate the NFL at times.

A band from New Orleans and they smoke pot.

Wondering if any of you have read any books on marijuana? I'd like to get more knowledgeable on how it works on the brain, etc. and maybe the history of it through the years. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

This is surely outdated, but a good place to start...

It causes brain damage and it's not recommended for use until age 25, so the brain has time to fully develop. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates smoked weed, so it's not like you can blame poor performance on cannabis alone.

Leafly.com is a very informative website for inquiring minds about Cannabis. Apparently, "marijuana" is racist to some, so Cannabis is preferred name to the social justice warriors. I don't find the word "marijuana" racist, but the word has propaganda history in the banning of it's use, similar to "booze" I'm guessing.

This is why they want people to say, Cannabis, instead of Marijuana. It's sort of a white wash of all the years of lies, that was promoted to the masses.

I have read a number of books about the cultivation side of things and am old enough to know a lot of the history first hand.

I've not looked for any books. Specifically because the system was designed to impede further study after the Nixon admin went against their own science and classified it as schedule 1 despite all evidence saying it was safer than alcohol.

That's not to say it's harmless, only that until recently no legitimate studies were done so that rule was not challenged. I accept the more tangential ones like traffic accidents, underage use, and opioid dependence reduction as they are more based on statistics.

The bias inherent in product testing since leaves me dubious at best. That should be changing, but I still see it in places.That said, I'd be interested in what you find. Might be that's happened and I'm just an old guy yelling on the lawn.
