Gregatron fails drug test

- Start date
I have said I believed he will be a major bust and this is one of the reasons why. Aside from the holes in his game, the guy can't keep himself away from marijuana, which is still very illegal in Nebraska (Thanks for clarifying that Jon Bruning). This isn't a debate about weed, this is about how Pelini has been caught with his pants around his ankles once again. He talks tough, hell, talked tough on weed. He kicked players off his team for a little weed, but let guys who were accused of worse things continue (Andy Christensen, Hunter DUI-fatiller). Once again, another reason why the scum Pelini was scrubbed from the program.

So if weed is not addictive, it would stand to reason that RG consciously made this choice to smoke weed, knowing full well that he would eventually be exposed?
Discuss.

B) Because it helps him manage stress.
C) Because it helps him manage pain.
Three reasons within 30 seconds that do not require the specter of addiction. It is, after all, only a specter. While anything can become the object of a psychological addiction, cannabis has never been shown to be physiologically addicting.

Re: NFL network reporting
I hope the multiple e-mails explaining the obvious concerns (in addition to the non-starter of the illegality of weed) are enough for you to understand the issue(s).

Crutch. Coping mechanism. Ricky Williams from UT comes to mind. Seems like Ricky was highly introverted and used it as a coping mechanism from what I remember. Also, I don't feel like looking it up, seems like Ricky's nfl career was highly affected by marijuana (i.e. suspensions, leaving the league). Just my guess, Gregory for whatever reason uses marijuana to make it through the day. Obviously, there are much better coping mechanisms to choose that won't affect your career.
Others were punished under Bo, Randy wasn't. At end of day Randy is an idiot, but he'll still be fine. He'll get drafted, get big bucks and I guess we will see what happens. I like that he has Herm looking after him, but who knows.
Biggest deal in the world? No. Very stupid? Yes.
That'll keep some of that pesky weight off his bank account.

I haven't read all of the posts on this subject but most. Seems to be a general "no big deal" associated with this because it is just a little weed. I am sorry, but it is still illegal and it tells me something about your as a head coach and a GM of an organization.
You were caught two times in college while at Nebraska and the behavior did not stop. You also admitted it was a problem and now am I to expect it won't be a problem going forward?
You were coming up to the biggest display in your life of your talent knowing you would be prodded, tested, and interviewed by hundreds of people but yet you gave in to a weakness and were willing to sacrifice it all to get high.
What comes first with you? The team or getting high? If you are willing to do this now, what is it going to be like when you get the pressure of the NFL, you are on the road and you have lots of extra coin in your pocket? Show me diligence in the small things and I will let you have access to the big things.
You are willing to compromise. So what else are you willing to do that puts yourself and your desires ahead of the team and your performance on the field?
Can I count on you to make good decisions in the future? The NFL doesn't have the best pub right now in that arena so what's it going to be?
Apparently breaking the law, even though you think it is only marijuana, doesn't bother you. On this team we try to do what is right all of the time.
I am certain many of you will disagree and that is fine but if you think these thoughts and more are not going through the minds of the owners well, I don't know what to say. Fire away

Re: NFL network reporting
Yeah, maybe he should have learned from Suh and stuck with drunk driving.
Spot on, Tru. This is about discipline, following policies, etc. He has chosen pot over the potential for millions. What team owner would think that is rational decision making?
If I was an owner my fear would be that if he had this big of a problem when he was a "broke college kid" then what is he going to do when he has millions of dollars? The NFL policy being what it is, there is a better than average chance that Randy won't be in the NFL long enough to get the second contract.
Reuters: In a related note a 20 something guy in Colorado committed suicide after eating a large number of pot laced candies. Pot makes some people extremely paranoid and violent and others depressed and suicidal. So much for harmless weed.

Read on the internet that pot can show up on a UA anywhere from 13 to 39 days and based on personal experience with UA test that seems to be pretty accurate.
Re: NFL network reporting
Agree completely, same with kc's following post. I just refuse to blame the marijuana.
I honestly hope the Bears don't take him. I have this creeping feeling he's going to be a bust. I hope they go NT, the kid from Clemson, or grab that top corner.
There is absolutely ZERO evidence of your claims. On top of the fact there has also not been one case of it causing lung cancer and or one single death in all its history.
Somebody does something negative and has pot in their system... let's blame it on the pot. Complete garbage.
You're nuts. There has been plenty of research on the psychoactive drugs in MJ. There is ZERO doubt that in some users it can create paranoia, hysteria and suicidal thoughts. As far as the cancer goes, a friend of mine's son (heavy pot user) just died at age 34 from an extremely unusual cell type of thoracic cancer. Coincidence? Maybe. He wasn't a tobacco smoker. Pot will be shown to cause COPD. You can't inhale fumes from burning ragweed without airway irritation. Eventually it will be shown to contribute to COPD and cancer. Any person with a shred of logic and medical knowledge can figure that one out.
