Here in SF we understand a thing or two about the side effects of weed, and our collective advice is Ben and Jerry’s Fudge Brownie, instead of nachos.

Sugar is your friend.

rob fick and matt anderson were room mates in arizona, way back when they were tiger farmhands.
they got busted in a USPS raid, investigating pro athletes getting marijuana thru the mail.  they apparently had a six foot glass bong on the coffee table in the living room.  this was reported in the detroit free press at the time, with the idea being this was the first bust being made in a wider ranging investigation involving the NBA, NFL, and MLB.  there was no action taken by the tigers against the two, and lo and behold, no further reporting in the news that i ever saw about the farther ranging USPS investigation.

i know that the mlb testing protocol doesn’t test for marijuana.

so…er.  is it a surprise that young folks with money to burn…(sorry)...burn their money this way sometimes?

honestly, i smoked many a joint with athletes in high school…some of whom went on to play professionally.  i never had any reason to think that once they were making money that they’d suddenly change who and what they are.

Would the MLBPA not allow Selig to suspend Soto? If not, I literally have no clue what all the fuss is over steroids. I mean, is it a big deal because they are illegal, or because they enhance performance?

richardindallas - boy that sounds awfully authoritative.  i bet you’re wrong.  the same way musicians and artists and writers do, some folks who play baseball believe it helps them focus.  and with the spate of folks having anxiety issues that have driven them to the DL…and the hundred or so folks who get passes for ocd prescriptions…i’d be more inclined to believe that anyone who chose to responsibly medicate themselves in order to focus better probably knows more about what works for them than you or i do.  i haven’t hit live pitching in…well, it’s gotta be twenty five years or more.  i’d want to tap a one hitter a couple times before i tried it.  and, you know, pull out the old 8 track player and throw on a little free for all…
