Your opinion doesn't matter legally, nor to the Honor Code, nor to the Word of Wisdom, unfortunately.

Re: Ula’s Availability
I am not going to argue it with you ... but you are mistaken if you think I haven't done my homework. As the City Attorney for a city that initially banned it despite the State allowing it, I had to do a LOT of homework. (I do understand the difference between THC and CBD, etc. I suspect I know far more about it than you would expect) As the prosecutor for that city, I have seen effects of legalization first hand. You go ahead and keep your position ... I do not agree with it and won't. And there is a difference between speeding and reckless driving ... yes, reckless CAN come from excessive speeding ... but now you are changing the argument. Your point was wrong ... pot is not like speeding, it's not "just a ticket", it is a crime, and (as Mars pointed out) speeding is not against the HC.Brayden Green wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 2:53 pmReckless driving, ie speeding excessively is a crime in most states.

By the way, it shouldn't be. People shouldn't be in trouble for carrying a plant around.

I read somewhere that they denied it. I'll see if I can find it.Mars wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 2:45 pmLink?Brayden Green wrote: ↑Sat Oct 28, 2017 2:42 pmHe also lied about it to the coaches. That's a fact.
When your player tells you that he didn't have weed in a frisbee, you are generally inclined to believe him. When more evidence presents itself, then you act on that evidence.

Re: Ula’s Availability
I mean, as a firefighter I agree that weed is the least of our country's concerns, and should be medically legalized. And Spice in Utah has become a much bigger problem since it was made illegal. But that's neither here nor there when it comes to Ula.

So much conjecture. I didn't say you didn't do your homework.

I know that pot isn't "just a ticket", although possession is one of the dumbest laws known to man. Some people have a different idea of personal choice and freedom than I do. Happy to discuss it privately, or on a different thread anytime.
I was initially pointing out that Ula isn't guilty of anything until he either admits it, or is proven guilty of it in a court of law, and I see nothing wrong with the coaches waiting until they had more solid evidence. Just because a cop makes you sign a ticket with the power of a gun doesn't mean that you did anything wrong.
As a city prosecutor, I have no doubt that you understand that.
