Watching the Jones: Dazed & Confused

It'd be easier if it wasn't 23 pages, 19 of which have nothing to do with this topic.
If making dumb jokes about Rex Ryan's foot fetish can get you benched for a series, then I wouldn't at all be shocked to see Jones parked on the bench for the beginning of the KC game.
Rush hour, he had a hard time making it to the floor but he got there eventually. It was for the rest of the night. Someone thought angel dust but I had no baseline to go by. That was the start of the end for pot for me...until I moved to Colorado
You can't seriously be complaining about people making joke about this, can you?
Snooping, eh? Wasn't that was those U.S. sailors were doing when they drifted, "accidentally", into Iranian waters? It remains to be seen if they were also shirtless.
Dang this has been posted already. I just caught up on the thread. I'm leaving it up as it's worth multiple posts and maybe some poor skimmer will read only this page

I really hope you are right. We need every draft pick we have with the #1 gone.
Remember -- the team has no remedies, unlike TB.
My days are filled with really smart, accomplished people not fulfilling their requirements, or arguably so. That is my frame of reference.
That said, I expect to hear nothing exculpatory from the team or League, at least before the SB.
As one commenter over at Deadspin astutely noted, "horrific" might not be the first word to come to mind.Dang this has been posted already. I just caught up on the thread. I'm leaving it up as it's worth multiple posts and maybe some poor skimmer will read only this page

Interesting it talks a lot about Syracuse in this article about synthetic weed - probably not a coincidence.

So, according to Deadspin, Synthetic Weed is not listed on the NFL's list of banned substances. It is also not illegal in Foxboro. So, technically, the league appears to have no recourse.
So the Patriots got away with one by skirting the edges of the rule book again!
Which I think is just hilarious.

What? No. I just wish we would make more topics instead of shoving things into season-long threads. When i was first looking for the discussion about it yesterday the thread was titled something about Edelman. Thats all.
Keep the jokes coming.
If you want some entertaining histrionics on this, Felger and Mazz are absolutely apoplectic that the FPD is involved in a scheming cover up of some lurid drug misadventure.
It initially boggled my mind that a millionaire couldn't pay someone to get regular non hallucinatory green that imposes at worst a health risk of falling asleep. Now that the additional info comes out about the NFL and Mass say nothing about it and therefore can be no penalty imposed I'm slightly less surprised.
Still, Chandler just got a shitty lesson in how much "risk" to tolerate.

Assuming it's what people usually mean by "synthetic marijuana" (cannabinoid analogs a la K2/Spice/etc), it's a Schedule I narcotic and illegal throughout the US.
There's a good video from vice on the substance. It amazes me that people smoke this stuff. It's typically made in labs in China and the different compounds are what are illegal. When one group of compounds are made illegal, they change the compounds making them technically legal.
I could be mistaken, but that's how I understand the process.
I sure hope not. That may be Belichick's all time worst coaching decision.
Rovine is the guy on this, but I'm pretty sure it's not a crime to have used a controlled substance -- just to posses it or distribute it, etc. (Or, obviously, if you're doing something illegal after you used, like operate a motor vehicle.) In other words, once you've ingested it, it's no longer possession, and you cannot use the fact that someone appears to be impaired or has something in their blood to establish possession. (Though I think it can be probable cause to search them or their stuff.)
Also, earlier in the thread, there was a suggestion that there is some sort of amnesty designed to encourage people who are at risk of an overdose or bad reaction to seek help. Obviously, if your pocket is full of the stuff when you show up at the police station, it can be a problem. But the fact that Jones wasn't arrested doesn't necessarily answer the question whether or not he took something that is unlawful to posses.
Someone earlier in the thread mentioned there are Good Samaritan self reporting laws or some such thing that prevents arrest if a user presents with medical needs.
Edit: What Denny said
And Jones is listed with abdomen/toe. There's a rod Stewart-esque stomach pumping joke in there somewhere.
I mentioned Sheldon Richardson upthread...the police knew he was high as fuck but there was nothing in the car so no drug charges.
Well, yeah, except this was a 15 year old who was able to bags of that stuff and get fucked up while being able to pass our drug tests.
HIS NAME WAS ROBERT GRONKOWSKI!

They are (theoretically) cannabinoids, made by artificial synthesis. In reality, they're almost certainly other things, too.
Synthetic marijuana?? It's amazing the crap people risk putting into their bodies. Why not try snorting a line of Drano?
