I keep hearing marijuana is not addictive, but I haven't heard anything about being addicted to stupid.

you're saying masterbation is addictive...ok, got it.

hooray for weak psychological addictions!
effects of marijuana withdrawal may include: irritability and restlessness. that's it.

"new breed" is changing that a little. This medical grade stuff (both pill and leaf) is both different from what they had at woodstock and much more easily available than any "illegal" drug has ever been. True, that drug like material that you used to buy in high school from a guy named Tony, Chase, or Marty that included one part lettuce and two parts parsley was not the least bit addictive, but I don't think you can say the same about what is out there now.
October 26th, 2012 at 10:44 AM ^
I'm 28 years old; I don't know what kind of mexican bush weed they were smoking at Woodstock, but I smoked the good shit in college on a daily basis and had to quit for work when I graduated. I was grumpy for 2-3 weeks. That was it. Weak psychological addiction and nothing more.
October 26th, 2012 at 11:06 AM ^
older than that and know about "the good shit" you are referring to. It has gotten better. And whether or not it is addictive does not turn on whether you term it psychological, physical, mental, physical, or otherwise, it depends on internal and environmental factors unique to the individual. I do not discount the fact that Matthews could actually be "addicted" to weed, just as I don't dismiss the fact that Tiger Woods could actually have been addicted to sex. And I have seen weed addiction, it does not look like meth addiction, but it can shape lives.
October 26th, 2012 at 11:21 AM ^
Your first argument was that the new breed of stronger and readily available weed factors into its addictive qualities. Now you're arguing that it's internal and environmental factors.
October 26th, 2012 at 11:29 AM ^
first argument was that weed had gotten stronger. You argued back that you had smoked good weed and did not get addicted, therefore, weed is not addictive. I argued back that you cannot declare weed to be not addictive based on the fact that you, yourself, did not become addicted.
October 26th, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
are you high right now?
October 26th, 2012 at 11:51 AM ^
or maybe I just sit around and identify obscure but dispositive semantical distinctions within arguments because it is really fun.
October 26th, 2012 at 11:59 AM ^
I'm using myself as an example. There are plenty of studies that back that assertion. The effects of marijuana withdrawal are extremely minor when compared to other drugs, including alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine.
And I never claimed it's not addictive, just that it's a weak psychological addiction
October 26th, 2012 at 12:05 PM ^
it is settled. Weed, sex, and masturbation are all awesome, and also potential psycologically addictive given the right environment. I could see this consensus coming a mile away.
October 26th, 2012 at 12:08 PM ^
So let it be written!

Honey Badger loves himself some weed.
I'm not gonna argue for or against it, but honestly - how does this kid keep on getting caught?
October 25th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
October 25th, 2012 at 7:49 PM ^
It appears that someone just doesn't get it.
October 25th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
Honey Badger better learn to give a shit.
October 25th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
I'm pretty sure he don't give a shit. I think I learned that in a well narrated documentary...

Is that a serious question? There are murders and wife-beaters playing in the NFL. I'd wager every team has at least one player with a "serious" conviction (say, DUI and up). Hell, Michigan has consistent marijuana abusers playing.

"Police say they were called to the apartment complex after receiving a complaint about a man, who later was identified as the 22-year-old Jefferson, forcing his way through the security gate before going to Mathieu's apartment." - from the article
Because the way to keep all this secret is to have someone do something conspicuous which results in a complaint, right? I would have to think that Mathieu and football and perhaps even college have just now parted ways, at least on a level where anyone would take notice (e.g., D-1 football). It is really a waste, but he doesn't seem to have any self-discipline to speak of.
October 26th, 2012 at 2:19 AM ^
I have a friend who watched them get arrested. He said that the gate they "forced" through is never locked, all you have to do is push it and walk inside.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:11 PM ^
First couple times you think, no big deal, just a kid, a pseudo- superstar, he'll learn. Next few times he's caught its: Wtf are you thinking? You're royally blowing it here, kid. Kicked off the team and going to rehab, seemed like a total waste of talent, but maybe he can turn it around. Now? He has to be about the dumbest kid in America to blow such a golden opportunity on something so trivial for the same reason over and over again.
Jim Carrey has some advice for you:

between "use" and "abuse". His addiction is destroying his life. There's a Radiohead lyric that always comes to my mind in these situations:
"You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you and no one else
You do it to yourself"

What a talented little F-up. So, those rumors of Petrino on a motorcycle heading down I-75 to Gainesville with the Honey Badger in the sidecar apparently weren't true. And I wonder if Jefferson will continue to play for Montreal after his arrest.
October 25th, 2012 at 8:41 PM ^
Wasn't he just in rehab and getting treatment? Yeah, don't feel bad for this loser at all. He had all the advantages of getting help and getting his life on track and blew it.
