Dont know if you've ever read him, but the writer Bomani Jones of ESPN's Page2 has an article up today, April 20 2007 aka 420, regarding three young bruthas who recently did something totally so OFF THE WALL that sports writers, commentators, coaches and even players themselves are at a loss for what to do next.
His article: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jones/070420
The three men in question Calvin Johnson, Amobi Okoye and Gaines Adams essentially freaked the NFL out by admitting they had smoked pot. WOW! I'll let you read Bomani to get the rest of the details but the uproar is should they be questioned from a 'character' point of view because they smoked pot.
Well, number one if smoking pot makes you a bad person, I live in a state where more than 60% of the people must be HORRIBLE people. Number two if being courageous and honorable enough to tell the truth, makes you a bad person, then I totally understand our government because those lying fools must be angels, since telling the truth is bad.
Bottom line is weed, MJ, pot has been much maligned since it was made illegal to keep Mexican immigrants from congregating in Texas in the way way back days. Soon it was also found helpful to keep other people of color in and out of trouble, so it has remained illegal though it is much less dangerous than booze.
These three 'kids' did the right thing and reported the truth. They also DIDNT get in trouble at the NFL Combine by getting 'popped' by the drug test. Check out Bomani's article, because in the end, he's right, a dude who smokes but has enough self control to be clean by a test date is actually somewhat intelligent. Its the dudes who get caught, knowing well that a test is on the horizon who are stupid and you should question their choices.
Besides isnt it time to start rewarding HONESTY.?
oh and for those in the know, HAPPY 420... puff puff give, and dont get it spitty!

I have no idea what you are talking about with the "spitty" comment. I don't smoke weed and I don't like hanging around people who do. So I'm not familiar with "pot-head" jargon.
Marijuana is illegal. ..and this is of the 10 stupidest motherf*&^%$ laws the U.S. has on it's books!
MARIJUANA SHOULD BE LEGAL!!!
I dont like weed. I dont like the smell. I generally dont associate with people who use it. But I'd rather deal with a pot-head then a fool with a GLOCK!
And why is a 9mm LEGAL and a "happy" drug like MJ not??? ..no answer? Well, I aint got one either! It's plain, frickin, STUPID.
So, happy 420 to all you stoners out there. I truly hope one day you all will be able to puff-in-peace without fear of outrageous retribution.
