    Just think of all of the Blazer players that are going to get into trouble when it's legalized here.

    Apparently he failed the test. Legal or not, it's illegal according to the league.

    We should set up some odds for when it does... However, our team doesn't give that pothead vibe. Maybe Lopez?

    Robin went to Stanford. I doubt he's stupid enough to fail a team drug test.

    Imagine how much better we'd have been last season with Hickson subbing Aldridge instead of Freeland.

    But we'll continue to read urban myths on this board like, "He would have hurt team morale, demanding to start." Oh sure he would have, over Aldridge. And after Olshey dumped him after he bailed us out almost as heroically as Juwan Howard had, did he sign where he would start? No, he signed with Faried's team. Those two energy players are similar, but everyone knew Faried would take precedence. So much for demanding to start.

    That does it. I will personally design "the Juwan Howard Trophy," which I will personally award each year to "the Blazer underdog who bailed us out of a horrible gap in the roster caused by GM negligence."

    It may be legal in the state but that does not mean it has to be legal in professional sports.

    My bet is on Barton. He will be the first to figure it's legal so why not?

    Smoking marihuana is a precursor to raping and murdering.

    But it's JJ, so other teams don't have to worry about that.

    James harden plays defense like he smokes before every game, and he lives in Texas. The nba star treatment is out of control.

    There's a lot of confusion among people in CO. Just because it's legal doesn't mean that employers can't prohibit its use. We made the decision to step up our random drug tests and have let people know clearly that marijuana use is prohibited if one wishes to be employed by our firm. Of course, our people are too uptight and too Type-A to smoke. Lots of tests, no positive results.
