FluffHead Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Sorry if this is a stupid question but... is synthetic pot legal up in America? (It is down here.) Well, he was arrested for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Fudge! Felony counts. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/05/06/report-marcell-dareus-arrested-in-alabama-for-synthetic-marijuana-possession/ Still a simple drug strike I believe - unless he's tested positive, no suspension Disciplinary stuff falls under two seperate categories - conduct and drugs- the first goodell makes judgement calls the latter is negotiated punishments in the CBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 According to Buffalo News he is subject to possible four game suspension if he is already in stage 1 of NFL drug program. If he is not already in stage 1 he likely will not be suspended but will enter stage 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he learns his lesson. Edited May 7, 2014 by KikoSeeBallKikoGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Don't forget that police sometimes overcharge on the arrest report. Will have to wait for court / DA to see what the final charges are. Just wondering how you get to a felony count on the possession if the cutoff is one kilo (unless it's a 2nd offense)? Other than having more than a kilo of course...Plus it has to be more than one piece of paraphernalia for the felony charge based on the article explanation...Or am I missing something?

NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You stupid Mother !@#$er.... why does everyone want to smoke weed? Because it is fun and less harmful than booze. The drug laws in this country are beyond awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 It's just pot. Less healthy, less fun and more illegal. Marcell made the wise choice to go synthetic, so it's not pot. Though with regards to nfl punishment it's no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If the accusation is true I will never understand how multi-million dollar athletes put themselves in situations involving drugs, alcohol, or reckless driving. There is little to gain and so much to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I don't care if you believe me, but I HATED the Dareus pick. Wanted AJ Green. Everybody was all poo-pooing taking a WR. But you tell me, would you trade Dareus for AJ? Of course you would. AJ is a difference-maker. Dareus is just pretty good. Cool story Is it not true? Not having Cam is a blessing. He's overrated. Carolina will always be teased. We talking about Cam Newton right ? What games are you watching ? Cam is amazing and pretty close to a perfect qb with no weapons. Legalize it. It would be a lot cooler if you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 or at the very least Von Miller if Denver grabbed Cam. Word at the time was that Denver wanted Miller regardless because they had taken Tebow in round one the year before. No joke. Just goes to show you the plight of a Bills fan. We miss out on Cam because of Luck staying in school. Denver didn't even want Newton because they had Tebow. Peyton Manning gets hurt and Indy finishes last and drafts Luck. Denver signs Manning. It's almost comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLynchTrain Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 From that link: Anyone who possesses any synthetic drug product will be guilty of a Class C felony and faces a penalty of 1-10 years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. Gotta love how it was an Executive Order rather than a law by passed by the state legislature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Four games for synthetic pot? 4 games for being dumb as a post. I think the "strength" the Bills have on the D-line is greatly exaggerated. Partly because KW is old and broken….and partly because this guy is UNRELIABLE! Aaron Donald would be good insurance and almost without risk if he were there at 9. But, my guess is he will not be.
