I've heard from someone that would know that they were, indeed, cut for lack of performance and that it was a long time coming. The alleged use of synthetic weed,etc was a catalyst. Also, and I don't know this for sure, but I don't think that Big Sam is the synthetic weed type.
1. Yes, that is what is alleged by "sources". Synthetic marijuana isn't a cannabinoid at all, it's a combination of chemicals sprayed on to various random crap claimed to be "medicinal herbs". It doesn't produce a positive drug test result for THC (which is why those self administered tests they took are laughable). It can only be detected by a specific test for it which is expensive and often time consuming as the testing protocols change for it regularly as the ingredients of various popular brands of it constantly change. 2. True. A first failed test requires a player to go into the drug treatment program and isn't made public. Only the team and the NFL know. 3. True. Under the CBA players may be tested for banned substances up to 23 times annually at any time. About 11 players per team per week are tested during the season, from the start of preseason to the Superbowl. However during the off season an individual player may be tested no more than 6 times. These tests focus on the banned substance list. The only mandatory test for illegal street drugs for players not in the drug treatment program is once a year at the start of training camp. Theoretically, a player can play his entire career and never once be tested for performance enhancing drugs, and only once a year for illegal drugs at a predetermined known date and time.
Anyone who is still smoking that synthetic crap should be waived from the human race or at least the assholes supplying those who seek a legal high. Ever since the Feds made the JWH compounds illegal, the synth manufacturers have been using who fucking knows what to give their herbal blends that specail edge. Some of it is nothing more than poison. If you can't smoke real weed, just don't smoke and bide your time till you can. Switching to that junk is not a good alternative.
I agree, that shit is poison. I've done alot of things but I never have smoked the synthetic herbal whatever the fuck it is. However, if the fucking government would legalize harmless real cannibas, there would be no need for that shit, there would be no black market for weed, no cartels getting rich on marijuana money, the only crime, death and or injury involving marijuana would disappear, and it could be taxed, enjoyed by millions, and the world would be a better place. Marijuana has been around for a while, and while alcohol, tobacco, firearms, vehicles, war, and even peanuts have killed thousands upon hundreds of thousands, marijuana has never killed anyone, you can't overdose, it's impossible, I've tried.
I can't figure out why people say that Marijuana is a gateway drug...when in fact it's not the drug that's a gateway, it's the person who is. We all don't have to look far to find a drug that will make us slaves to it. Anyone can become an addict if they find the right substance. People who drink a lot and can't admit that they're alcoholics sure are quick to label others as druggies...and despise them for it.
You aright Steve and if use ever leads to other drugs it is more likely because of how it is purchased. If you have to buy pot from criminals they are more likely to sell other drugs or be in areas where other more dangerous drugs are used. The whole underground atmosphere becomes a breeding ground for dangerous drugs. Legalizing and regulating it as we do alcohol is the way to go.
Unfortunately Sam just rode on the coattails of Mingo. He just chased everyone towards Sam. All he had to do was stay at home and wait. BTW synthetic or not, when you're fat and lazy, that shit is only going to increase the laziness anLook at the successes ofd the munchies will make you fatter.
How many so far this year are in trouble,2 have been arrested will never play this year 3 players amigo on this years team have been arrested so sounds like a discipline problem to me.
