Come on though Berzerker, even all the potheads here will say that one of the side effects of pot (which is why they like it so much) is that it is a big downer. Alot of them will say, "how can people on pot be so violent, all they want to do is sit around on the couch, laugh, and eat Ruffles all day??"Originally posted by Berzerker
He quit because his employer told him he can't keep using a medicine that helps his condition. He was going to keep playing until they wanted to suspend him for using that medicine and most people would be on his side if not for the government's decades long propaganda campaign demonising pot. If he was using Prozac would people care? Motivation is a peculiar thing, his decision was motivated by a concern for his health and an employer who doesn't care and you think that's an example of losing one's motivation? That's the thing about motivation - not everyone shares the same motivations. That's the nature of individuality, we are not Borg.

Ricky used one of the prescription drugs for his condition (Paxil I believe) but it caused problems with his diet. He used pot and said it worked 10 times better and didn't mess with his appetite. When dealing with mental conditions, all doctors can really do is ask "does that help" when prescribing drugs, so I'd sooner take the word of the patient than the doctor if there's a dispute about what works and what doesn't.Although it probably isn't a good idea to take health advice from a NFL player
It was a 1930s propaganda piece (also known as "Tell Your Children") put out by the government and Hollywood depicting pot smokers as homicidal maniacs. About 15 years later the same government bureaucrat who helped make the movie told Congress pot was a communist plot to pacify Americans. So, pot smokers went from being soul-less murderers to pacifistsreefer madness? Is that one of those after school special movies where the girl runs screaming and crashes through a window. That was hilarious. I want to get a hold of that one.

Because you probably never smoked it 4, 5 times a day for 2 or 3 years.
It's a question of self-control. One should always make it a point not to get stoned alone. Similarly, it's not a real problem if one who has social problems drinks, if one drinks with others."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

Obviously, one shouldn't do anything in excess. The point was that smoking pot wouldn't necessarily exacerbate social problems."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

That's wrong! He quit because he failed drug tests, and wouldn't have been allowed to do both. If the NFL didn't test for pot, he would've done both. All NFL experts that I've read agree with that statement.Originally posted by Ted Striker

Ted -Hmm... downer? I'd put it more in the mind trip/LSD category albeit a mild drug. I'm sure many people who smoke pot would rather kick back while "high", but many like to do things too. It's more of an individual thing...Come on though Berzerker, even all the potheads here will say that one of the side effects of pot (which is why they like it so much) is that it is a big downer. Alot of them will say, "how can people on pot be so violent, all they want to do is sit around on the couch, laugh, and eat Ruffles all day??"
As for his motivation, or lack thereof, he obviously has a different motivation now that the league is starting to suspend him. One more violation and he loses a year, not 4 games, and since he's obviously decided to keep using pot (for whatever reason) then that doesn't mean he lacks motivation to play ball. He just has competing motivations and one was imposed upon him by his employers. People tend to dis-like employers telling them what medicines they can or cannot use and Ricky uses medicinal pot (not that he would stop if it wasn't for medical reasons, that I don't know
).

Meh, there are worse habits you could take up. There are also more enjoyable habits you could take up. Many of these fit both of the previous sentences.

If Diss' current medication isn't doing the job, he should do some research and consider alternatives...and that includes pot... All he can do is try some and see what it does for his condition. If it doesn't work or makes it worse, don't use it. If it works, prepare to be punished by the moral people running.Whether or not he should do it is the issue and in my opinion (which is better than yours 100% of the time) he shouldn't do it, espeically if he is having social problems.
