Dante Cunningham arrested, sources say with marijuana :: UPDATE - statement from Bobcats

everything is natural. Plastic, chemicals, meth, heroine. Being a little bit too much of a stickler don’t you think, I mean I think the man knows what natural means.

But I did have my stomach scanned once in S America because they thought I was smuggling it… That was pretty scary.

A) HE’S NOT CONVICTED.
B) Having a BB gun does not mean he was planning to rob someone or anything. Making assumptions like that is incredibly STUPID.

First off, how is it even a distraction? It happened in the offseason so by the time any form of organized team activities start, this will be looong forgotten. How will players or coaches on our team be distracted by Cunningham having weed 5 months prior to training camp?

Secondly, I knew you didn’t like Inferno but comparing him to Garrett Temple and Javaris Crittenton? Jesus man. Are you that blinded by your bias? Garrett Temple has been in the D-League for a reason and Crittenton is currently looking for a job. Cunningham’s a second round pick in his third year in the league. He is still developing and is a good bench player right now. It’s not All-Star or bust in the NBA.

And thirdly, I can understand not liking him as a player, but you’re gonna accuse the man of about to rob somebody? I got kicked out of UNC because a kid I was letting stay in my room had a gun but didn’t tell me. If somebody read the police report on what happened to me, you could just assume I was going to rob somebody too. Point is, don’t make rash assumptions about shit you know NOTHING about.

Is just whatever Uncle Sam tells you… Then you seriously need to try thinking for yourself. God gave us all brains.

I wouldn’t say we weren’t playing anybody either. We ran into and beat a few good teams, including the Celtics (which Cunningham played a key part in). I won’t get into player potential though because I already know how you feel about Henderson. And as Michael and Adam can tell you, I don’t really judge a player by the playing time he was receiving with a previous team. I mean, you’re acting like he got caught with a pound of weed or something and was planning on distributing it. It was a small bag which was more than likely for personal consumption. A lot of people would sell their soul for 700,000, but a lot of people don’t have the athletic ability that Cunningham does to make that point irrelevant. And when you say somebody fuckin up an opportunity, I wouldn’t say somebody that got pulled over and had a small bag of herb in the car. I would think of somebody that raped someone, abused a woman, shot at somebody or something like that.

PS: He may not be that good to you, but the kid has potential and could probably become a key player going forward. He’s only what, 24? He’s still growing and getting better as a player.

Alcohol from the local convenience store that is required by law to card people? Or pot from the drug dealer they see at school every day?

You know why the 1920’s mafias and all it’s crime and violence, doesn’t exist anymore? Because their main source of income, alcohol, can now be purchased legally. You know why Mexican gang violence is prevalent throughout the US? Because people who think like you are sticklers about a natural plant that doesn’t little more than make people calm and happy.

comes from a smear campaign funded by rich, greedy men in the 1930’s because hemp was cheap to grow, naturally repels weeds and has few natural insect enemies. and therefore would put many rich dudes in the paper and textile out of business. That’s why it’s illegal today.

If legalized, money would stop going to drug cartels and start going into our own pockets. The government could reap benefits from the growth, distribution and taxation of hemp and marijuana. We wouldn’t have to chop down trees for paper or use nearly as many insecticides/weed repellents in the growth of our textiles. Not to mention the fact that the average person wouldn’t have to deal with possibly dangerous criminals anymore (drug dealers).

And this isn’t even dipping into the realm of medical benefits marijuana offers.

Hmm, seems like a lot of pros, and no cons to me. And this was my stoner post of the week :D
