So far from what I've read, he had a 'green substance' on his lips, when pulled over in a car with pot in it (assuming the officers involved told the truth on such matters). This is not possession of pot. This is small town cops that have no clue that anyone, regardless of the propensity, or inclination to use marijuana, would choose to eat weed straight out of the bag. He admitted to using (earlier in the day) but not possessing. The officers did not say he was in possession but said he had a green substance on his lips...then charged him with possession. How is he charged with possession? As far as I know, only those actually in possession can be charged with possession of illegal substances.
Just checked. There is no law regarding use of marijuana in Louisiana. Please correct me on this, if I'm wrong. Otherwise, wtf?
Not that this has anything to do with league rules but it's important to see idiocy for what it is. There is no way that anyone ate pot, if they had any clue about how to use it, or anyone around them that cared about how ridiculous it is to let someone eat pot. This argument only being made because of how ridiculous it is and leans towards idiot cops just trying to make a name for themselves. If he did actually eat pot, then maybe he shouldn't be on the Broncos; Just because. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though and say he was just a dumb kid that can't say no to 'friends', and chose to ride on a car that contained pot. Either way, he has to take drug tests, according to league rules, true? If the legal crap gets worked out and they dismiss the silly charges of having a 'green mouth', he may be exempt from NFL penalties. If not, or if he is prosecuted for possession, it might not be a bad thing. He definitely made a bad judgement call and a strict hand might help him be a better professional. It's hard to keep a straight head as a rookie, and especially so if you're a rookie with nothing to do for a year. Some reality and hard love can do him good.
Hopefully.
