*RUMOR* why is Park taking a leave of absence?

[1100011CS]

I don't want to get into a pissing contest about smoking weed. But, the main problem that smoking weed tends to lead to more hard drugs. You can look at all hard drug users and they will almost be certain that they smoked weed. Yes, I'm older than most on here. But, I grew up in the hippy days. I saw all of that. I will say most heavy users back then haven't lead to a well functioning person in the work force. How many of the inter city people have all smoked weed and are on food stamps for generations. Hell, if you think it is okay then start giving it to your small kids and sit around and lead by example. There are reasons that weed is against the Federal Law. Yes, states are opting to allow weed, such as Colorado and the western states. But, these are the liberal states where the state wants to make money. Colorado has seen an increase in car accidents while being high. If you need to be high to function then we are indeed in a world of trouble. If you want to smoke weed take drugs then do it by yourself and not drive or be around others. If you hate the world or hate people like the Las Vegas shooter. Destroy our own life and not others...... We have seen how getting high affected one of own basketball players Bryce Dejean Jones. He had problems while he was here. Then having a family and being in the NBA. He threw it all away by being high and breaking into the wrong apartment.... I how the high was worth it.....

I nominate for dumbest post of the day.

Alcohol is the true gateway drug.

Let's ban the bottle

They did for awhile...didn't work out like they thought it would.

weed being a gateway drug is one of the largest myths when it comes to cannabis. It has been disproved more times than you can count on hands and toes.

Most heavy drug users were car drivers prior to getting hooked on heavy drugs. I say we ban cars.

Give it time. It's still early, and that post is begging for an equally idiotic reply. Who's going to step up?

The propaganda is strong in this one!! Even threw in “inter city people”, just wow!!

By your definition all alcohol should be banned as well.

1. The situation with the driving in Colorado is complicated; a. the influx of population has put much more pressure on the roads especially the mountain roads. b. A lot of new drivers not used to mountain driving. c. The ignorance that this substance of cannabis can either put you to sleep or wake you up depending on the cultivation procedures. The stuff that puts you to sleep should have a warning not to drive.

2. High thc cannabis for anyone under 25 is probably bad in most cases because of the effects on the brain; especially the reward system for the brain.

3. Prescription opiates have proven to be the most deadly gateway drug in the history of the world and many many times lead to heroin and now fetanyl. Fetanyl overdose is a near certainty for its users over a decent period of time.

4. The destructiveness of alcohol and opiates on society are in a whole another world compared to cannabis.

5. High CBD cannabis should be encouraged and legislated by our government. CBD oil from hemp is available at stores all throughout Iowa and could be presented as an alternative to high thc cannabis.

But we got a lifetime's worth of cool gangster movies!

Could some former players/those in the know shed some light on the testing process? We seem to have plenty of student-athletes that manage to avoid a 2nd failed test, and it doesn't seem like it's because they stop smoking during the season.

I can only speak for when I played so that doesn't mean it is how things are done now.

When I played the NCAA usually came in during 2 a days and tested a large sample (30 + guys) and then they might come in once during the season for a small sample (5 - 10 guys). My impression though was that the NCAA tests were looking for performance enhancing stuff.

The University would maybe test once a season (if that) which was more of an all encompassing test (recreational and performance) but it was still a small sample (5 -15 guys).

They would say the guys selected were selected randomly but I don't believe it.

I hope Park can get over/past whatever it is that caused him to miss a great opportunity. If he follows CMC's guidance he'll have great future for not only him, but his daughter.

It will great to see him back with the team, playing or not.

Why stop there? All drug users were breathing prior to using drugs. Ban breathing!

 

[norcalcy]

So much speculation about what is going on, who knows how much is true? Some sources on here have proven to be pretty reliable. But since the discussion has shifted to drugs / alcohol etc.

When it comes to substances (most of them anyway), some people can use them recreationally and some people can't

For those who can't, things can eventually get out of control leaving a wide swath of wreckage in their personal lives and collateral damage for those around them

Substance abusers aren't bad people, they just have a problem that needs THEIR attention. No matter how much we love them or want to help them, they have to address THEIR issue.

Substance abuse and addiction issues aren't addressed or fixed in a week. It takes a while. God Bless all those who are struggling. May they, and those around them, get the help they need.

If this is trolling, bravo you brilliant son of a *****. If you really believe this bs, I'm embarrassed for you.

Tylenol is a gate way drug. I bet people on meth used it when they were younger. #BanTylenol

Yeah, you see, prohibition firmly entrenched organized crime, you see.

Is the oil really available at stores in Iowa? What stores exactly? Been considering trying it to see if it would help with stress, anxiety and insomnia but thought I would have to order online.

Park might be the biggest name taking a "medical leave of absence" but he's not the only one. All will be fine. Beat KU!

It's d1 football, they'll take Joseph Stalin if he can throw for 400.

I have to admit that I didn't expect to see a Joseph Stalin comment in a football thread, ever. But now I'm wondering who is the one who is actually stoned...

Stalin did have cool hair though...

They would say the guys selected were selected randomly but I don't believe it.

I certainly found it interesting that a good number of freshman walk-ons were in the random sample.
