Even though the 'War on Drugs' has been a failure, the 'War on Marijuana' which was part of that was just ridiculous. Locking someone away for weed, even lets say 6 pounds of it, is just mind-blowing wrong.
If its a non violent crime, then a lwp sentence doesnt seem justified, let alone right.
I agree for the most part...when it comes to weed. I don't view it as a harmless miracle drug that many smokers claim it to be, but it's clearly not as damaging as heroin, which is a huge chunk of the 60,000 overdose deaths recorded in 2016. That said, the players didn't specify marijuana here. They just said "drug offenses". Many - if not most - of these drug offenses aren't for weed.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
