To those who say pot is harmless, here is the counter. So unfortunate.
He was the next .... as a sophomore in HS, then you could just see something changed. For the most part he kept winning based upon the talent level, but he started to look mortal. The best of the best can be pretty damned good riding raw talent alone, but to be elite, you can't serve two masters.
If the premise of this thread is accurate, maybe there is a third or forth chance for him out there - a la Chance Marsteller. Otherwise I hope he can pull things together and get a good education somewhere, and off the junk.
If the premise of this thread is accurate, he'll be wrestling in an orange jump-singlet.
Those allegations are serious stuff -- far worse than pot.
That said, allegations =/= crimes. Trial By Twitter is not a legal proceeding (plus it's a horrid thing to see, if the allegations are untrue).. The process needs to be followed.
Eh, I went to school with a lot of people who smoked. The ones who had their shit together, kept their shit together. The losers and those who cared more about being/looking cool peaked at that age - a story as old as creation.
Many people in authority claim pot is a gateway drug and they're correct in that pot is the gateway to meeting people that sell illegal drugs. If you smoke pot than you know people that sell illegal drugs. The first time you ask your regular source for some weed and they are out they'll offer you whatever they have as a replacement such as pcp, coke, meth, heroin, etc. This is how things progress.
Similarly, if you go to cropduster for folk style, he’ll try to sell you Greco. #slipperyslope
So legalize it...but not Greco!Similarly, if you go to cropduster for folk style, he’ll try to sell you Greco. #slipperyslope
My college friend is a long-time smoker. He had and has his shit more or less together, and he has a high paying job. But his memory really sucked and still sucks. He thinks it’s due to the decades of smoking. Luckily, he is smart as hell and can compensate for his poor memory.
Pot is definitely not harmless. Especially with young people. It can and will F your head up.
It’s not harmless but not near as bad as booze in terms of societal harm, but somehow Pot is listed as a Schedule 1 substance along with Heroin, Meth and PCP - that’s ridiculous. Legalize it, regulate it, tax it. I’m not asking for animated joints to have their own halftime show during the Super Bowl as 2 pot strains do battle against each other
Couldn't be any worse than the usual Super Bowl halftime show.
It may not have the societal harm of alcohol or tobacco but marijuana's societal costs would still far exceed the potential tax revenue (just as alcohol and tobacco's costs do). But I would agree that if we legalize marijuana and criminalize alcohol, our society would likely be looking at a net positive in terms of societal costs.
I heard criminalizing alcohol was so net positive that people got sick of positivity and made alcohol legal again.It may not have the societal harm of alcohol or tobacco but marijuana's societal costs would still far exceed the potential tax revenue (just as alcohol and tobacco's costs do).

It would? Show your work to show that legalized pot tax revenue would be outweighed by societal costs.It may not have the societal harm of alcohol or tobacco but marijuana's societal costs would still far exceed the potential tax revenue (just as alcohol and tobacco's costs do). But I would agree that if we legalize marijuana and criminalize alcohol, our society would likely be looking at a net positive in terms of societal costs.
Since you can get pot these days w/o any trouble, just not legally, I do not see how "societal costs would still far exceed the potential tax revenue" since we already have these societal costs. Are you implying that more people would say "F-it. It's legal. I am going to start toking and get high a lot"? I don't see it.
Not looking for a fight or another dumpster fire. I am genuinely curious about the data behind your assertion. Is it from studies in Colorado? Or Nevada?
Thanks in Advance.
There would be societal costs in the form of critical junk food shortages. I would buy lots of Hostess and Frito Lay stockIt may not have the societal harm of alcohol or tobacco but marijuana's societal costs would still far exceed the potential tax revenue (just as alcohol and tobacco's costs do).

Middleswarth barbecue would have a shortage in NePa.
Have any of you seen how the criminal justice machine works as far as pot vs alcohol arrests go. Around my neck of the woods, someone arrested for dui compared to someone arrested for have weed is a joke. Tells us how much money drives the justice department. Example : 1st time dui pays court cost, fine, rehab, walks nifty few grand in justice dept. Add more fines court cost and probation for 2nd offencePockets. Compared to busted with pot tested dui for pot pays fine just under grand walks, if unlucky to have more than a certain amount of pot may spend cpl weeks in county lockup. It's a joke, they know more people drink and are out for the money.
Criminal justice has been a shakedown racket seemingly forever. (And most often affecting the people with the least means.)
I mean, how long ago did that guy in Hartleton start putting out his homemade "speed trap ahead" sign? 40 yrs ago? Longer? It's not like there are any people in Hartleton to be protected from moving vehicles.
Will only get worse as long as governments are allowed to keep the money.
Apples and hand grenades comparison there.
DUI vs Pot possession? The first involves an impaired person behind a 2000-3000 lb weapon; the second is holding a certain amount of a drug over a limit. Now, driving under the influence of pot is another story, but I’m sure the penalties are roughly equivalent - driving impaired is driving impaired.
Can you share with us the comparative penalties for underage drinking vs underage pot smoking?
Soo, what did Teasdale do?

Some extremely serious, orange-jumpsuit-for-the-rest-of-his-wrestling-capable-youth, allegations from some random dude on Twitter. I just don’t feel comfortable amplifying something like that without some type of vetting.Soo, what did Teasdale do?

I believe word came out earlier this summer that he was no longer with the hawkeyes.
Back when PA finally OK’d medicinal usage, I thought I red that anyone arrested for possesion WITHOUT a prescription was in some serious trouble, far more than 10 years ago.
