    While I personally don't like the idea and don't think using this should be legal, I think the inevitable is that at some point soon, many people are going to see cigarettes = pot. Once the gov't realizes the tax revenue going right out the door....it will be over. Pot will then be legal nationally and we won't be having any debate. My preference?..No, but reality.

    Breaking the law is the issue for me. You wanna smoke weed? Go for it, what difference does it make to you what I think?

    By your logic, anyone who purchases alcohol on sundays is a dirtbag because it is illegal in some states and legal in others.

    As an officer who has spent his share of time working undercover, and being around those that smoke, I can say it is a topic that is here to stay. Over the next 15-20 years I'd say no less than 20 states will allow it to be used, and the government will keep collecting those tax dollars for it. As for the NFL, if they wanted to curb it they would have changed their policies by now. Hard to start suspending players when it will be legal in so many places. Pro sports has a battle coming for sure!

    Maybe I missed it but what I heard him say he knew Players that smoke weed. Never heard him say anything about his teammates or the Steelers. I did hear him say when asked how many player you think smoke weed he said probably one-third.

    Seems to me like clarke knows he's probably going to get cut, so he's throwing the team under the bus in a juvenile temper tantrum

    I don't think it will matter if it's legal in 50 states or 5. There are plenty of legal chemicals on the NFL's banned substance list. Also, like Clark said, many players already use it regularly as the testing procedures are minimal. So, does it matter if the league gives it's seal of approval?

    My issue with the topic is that Clark is a)breaking the locker room code and b)saying publicly that there are Steelers who violate the NFL's drug policy. That's not cool IMO.

    I realize this is a hot button topic, so let's try to not to get too wild with the morality/legality debate.

    The NFL if they want real test. I used to hate having to be the observer during a Piss test. You have to see the head of the guys Johnny, have to swear you saw the piss coming out of the hole of HIS Di*k. If he popped positive you were at his NJP Or courts martial. And you better say the same thing there as you signed during the test. I was verry happy when I made Gunny and didn't have to watch anymore
