Steelers RBs Bell and Blount busted for pot possession

If I ever saw one... Or...two..

you are smokin'!

are saying WTF?

with dangerous consequences. Now pass that shit over here!

Those two are fucking awesome! I'll bet the cops were just some crotchety old fucks, all pissed off cause they're already in their 30's.

Blunt?

.

depends on the legal standard in the state for being intoxicated via pot.

the dregs of society. Lock them all up.

(sorry I'm really fuckin high right now

about how much pot you have to smoke for your driving to be impaired?

I doubt that there is a standard.

I think a few have a threshold level that gives rise to a presumption (ala .08 for liquor), and others (I believe) require evidence of intoxication, eg slurred speech, driving behavior, FSTs.

They thought they were in Colorado

And the munchies?

my sentiments exactly. blount gotta spark that L, dawg. let the niggaz drive with some greenery.

Will Hill

claims more victims..

Watch the nfl allow the drunk Brent back in the league because he plays for the cowgirls.

does he Wally Pipe them?

That was funny.


If they played for Peyton or the Boston Celtics, this would be a non factor.

No effect on fantasy this year as Blount will get the goal line carries and Bell will be the feature back with no O line to speak of, draft at your own risk.

Prosecution will carry into 2015 so I think the real question here is what were they listening to?

Van Morrison, Stones, Floyd, Zeppelin, Tull? Or that stupid ass rap crap? Of course I could be wrong here and they was jammin to Garth Brooks...

The Giants had Half Baked and Well Done,Hosley and Hill.Now these two get caught in the How High Mobile.

With a duffle bag full of pot? Can't remember his name, but I'm almost positive they did.

is a reliable method for testing for intoxication. Short of a blood test, which isn't happening roadside, there's no positive way of knowing for sure. Additionally studies have found that just over a third of regular smokers (can't remember the studies definition of "regular", I think it was daily use) can pass the current roadside DUI coordination test when they are considered legally intoxicated . Which just raises more questions about what actually constitutes marijuana intoxication.

they have enough dough to get a driver.

dunedin, is there a way to even test for pot intoxication? I assume all they have is the physical pot evidence to go on?

They administer a blood test. In Washington, if a driver has a level of 5 nanograms/mL THC or greater, he/she will face a DUI conviction. (see link)

That said, I'm sure the tests and levels will be refined in the years to come as it's studied more. I think Washington went with a "conservative" level to start to discourage DUI.

Also, blood tests for THC are different then urine tests. THC metabolizes in the blood rather quickly, yet a urine test can still be positive for it a couple weeks later:

never has, never will. People either A) don't care or B) think they are above the law.

That said was this just possession or were they caught smoking too?

that marijuana doesn't influence driving behavior, and maybe it doesn't. But I am perfectly coherent and in charge of my faculties after having 4 or 5 drinks, I still know not to drive.

People that contend that are idiots. I'm fairly certain studies have shown that it does influence your driving. The "problem" is there isn't an easily identifiable level that determines when you are "too" intoxicated to drive (though I'm guessing some people can drive with a BAC > 0.08 and not be impacted).

My point was that money isn't an issue.

would the lesser suspension be an option?

Not to mention they had a large amount of pot. Not a few joints.

I think pot should be legalized. Lord knows we have bigger issues. Crap. Shoot up for all I care. But get behind the wheel u deserve to get arrested.

I'm pretty sure we can count on these two Mensa members to among the quickly broke ex NFL player crowd.

these guys signed a contract with a business that forbids it's employees from smoking pot. It's that simple. No discussion.

That should be the other shoe (or boot). They can't be arrested for violating a contract.

...to get busted for pot. It actually takes effort.
