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

I'm not going to complain about natural curiosity, guessing, internet chat board conjecture and whatnot - that's the way things go when someone who is in a very public position changes their behavior or in this case - participation in their chosen public presence. It's not unusual, out of line, or rude (within reason).
But (and you knew there was a "but"), if the public person who we all wonder about has something happening that is of a highly personal matter, we must respect his/her space and decision not to make it public. With a young adult, we must also give a bit more leeway than normal than we would an established adult.
This is also conjecture just like a lot of other posts. This fact is not lost on me. This is just an "if" or a "might be" but my thoughts include this as a possibility and so I have to put my curiosity on a shelf and simply wish him well. I'm not even saying that is what others need to do - I'm just throwing out some food for thought.

I would bet a large sum of money that it would work.
Simply because sports is a diversion. It's not NKorea, it's not tax policy or abortion, it's not flags and protests. I want my sports (especially for MY teams) to be positive and show the program, players and school in a positive light.
Wrong. It's roughly 10% of the season suspended, so 1 game would be standard for football. It'd be 3-4 games for basketball.
Well as Chuck Rosenberg, the head of the DEA until about a week ago said, "This decision isn't based on danger. This decision is based on whether marijuana, as determined by the FDA, is a safe and effective medicine"
I understand where you are coming from, but if he wants to play in the NFL doesn't he have to pass drug tests there? Or do they just turn a blind eye toward the marijuana portion of the drug test?
These folks "prescribing" pot are NOT trained medical professionals. They aren't doctors, nurses, PAs, pharmacists, or anyone that has studied medicine.
I do smoke pot and have visited my fair share of dispensaries in WA in case you didn't know where I land on the topic.
So do we know anything more about Park or is this all just idle speculation and arguing about if the wacky weed is going to lead you into a life of crime and debauchery?
I started smoking dope when I rode a moped - a lovely orange Honda Express. So obviously i wasn't very smart to begin with. Ban mopeds!
I have spent many hours studying this thread for relevant information that sheds light on the situation. Here's what I have so far:
--Jacob Park is a student athlete at Iowa State University.
--Marijuana is a substance that spurs opinionated conversation.
I hope this helps!
Is this the Random Thoughts thread? May have clicked on the wrong thing but quickly read about weed, free school and broken penises. Yep, Random Thoughts thread.
