If you don't agree with pot being illegal in your state then contact your representatives to have the law changed.

I'm sure that's been tried unsuccessfully many times.

True but it's also been successful in plenty of other places. Personally I don't believe it's a good idea to have more intoxicated fools driving around.

:snicker: Who be that??

So I guess RB jumped up the draft board.

 

[ramfan46]

Malcolm Brown looked better anyway. Leaves a crack in the door to Draft my guy Paul Perkins later in the draft. I'd be looking to move on from Mason. He's small and doesn't do anything the other backs can't do.

Is Mason’s Future with Rams in Doubt after Arrest?

ESPN Rams reporter Nick Wagoner explains how running back Tre Mason’s arrest in Florida could further cloud his future with the team. (1:18)

If Trey Watts shows some intelligence this summer he's going to have a great opportunity to contribute next season. A backup RB who excels on ST is a way to cement a roster spot, and now with Mason a question mark...

 

[TheDYVKX]

On the bright side, this makes the Ezekiel Elliott pick we all know is coming a little better.

 

[LesBaker]

I think this was a good career move.

The only thing that would have made this a better decision would be if he was a free agent.

Too bad right........

 

[NateDawg122]

Man Tre has fallen apart since Gurley took his job. He needs to get his head out of his ass before he's unemployed. And if he's going to burn he should do it in his home.

Would you believe I just googled "blonde dreads"

Note that the list does not include Florida. Which is where Mason was arrested. This is because the Florida legislature refused to address the issue despite majority support in the state. They're just now about to consider a vote to expand medical marijuana. This is after it was voted on as an amendment to the Florida Constitution in 2014 because the legislature was not listening to its constituents. The vote failed because an amendment to the state constitution requires a 60% supermajority. The amendment only received 57.6% of the votes.

Point being that a clear majority (57.6% of voters) were willing to amend the state constitution because the legislature was unwilling to act. And the legislature is just now getting around to doing anything about it. The legislature is actually doing something about it because the same amendment is up for a vote in November 2016 again.

Basically, my point is that telling people to talk to their representatives is an unrealistic solution in this situation. The people have spoken but the legislature has been dragging its feet for years.

As for Mason, he's a moron for getting himself in this mess. Just disagreeing with the idea that you can just go talk to representatives if you feel a law is unjust.

 

[RamBill]

I dont' think Mason ever got over the drafting of Gurley.....that crushed him. He thought he was going to be the starter in 2015 after a promising rookie year. Then the surprise pick of Gurley happens. :shocked:

 

[Rams43]

On the bright side, this makes the Ezekiel Elliott pick we all know is coming a little better.

I know that you jest, DYVKX.

But, believe it or not, Daniel Jeremiah on Path actually said last week that Elliott just might be the most talented player in this entire draft.

Obviously, he's not a Ram target. But damn!

Maybe a team below us might be tempted to trade up a short distance to get Elliott?

I mean, Gurly proved what a weapon that an elite RB can be. Hmmmmm...

What other remedy is there? Breaking the law? Revolution? Not being condescending here, merely asking.

Don't want to get into politics in the forum but it seems that we have a system were we vote in representatives who make the laws which are then interpreted by judges as either being constitutional or unconstitutional. We are not a strict democracy but a republic. The majority does not rule here.

If Tre Mason wants to smoke pot or use medical marijuana, he should do it in a state were it's allowed. But then he would also have to deal with Goodell and the NFL because it is still deemed a no, no, right or wrong.

Full disclosure; I smoked pot until it was coming out of my ears during my twenties. I stirred it into my food and drank it in my tea and out of my hookah pipe. Yuck!!!

So did my wife and all our friends.

I drove around like that and was lucky enough never to get busted. Back in those days that was a much more serious offense. But then I decided it wasn't worth ruining my career, my health, and my marriage and stopped. I can understand these young guys smoking doobies but not at the risk of losing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

Btw if I don't reply until tomorrow, don't be offended. I'm off to bed.

Revolution sounds like a good plan.

FWIW, I've never smoked pot once in my life. But I do think it should be legalized. I think the benefits of legalizing it outweigh the costs. But you're right, that's a discussion for another forum.
