Man, somebody needs to tell Howard to stop being a dumbass. Doesn't he know people treat pot like **** meth in this country? I feel ya Josh, you didn't think it's a big deal. The problem is that for whatever reason *some* people think that marijuana is some forbidden herb that Lucifer rolls "cigarettes" with.

He needs to realize that he represents a league that has a huge following from kids.

If he smokes weed on his own time, that is his choice, but don't bring it to the limelight. Parents don't want their kids getting tickets and having to go to court and pay huge fines for smoking weed, he may be able to afford it, but most parents can't.

I think this is huge... this should be a 6 month suspension for Josh Howard and full investigation by the league and the FBI in my opinion

True. If a parent finds a dimebag in a teenager's jacket, the kid can just say, "But it's not my weed, it's Josh Howard's weed, I was just holding it for him, I didn't know what it was, I swear!"

the biggest difference between the dudes my age who work out in the warehouse and shop and me being an executive is that they like to drink and smoke pot every day - that and my salary is about 3 times higher...

far be it from me to criticize people utilizing their freedom to choose how they want to live, but you'll always do better in life if you dont do drugs and abuse alcohol

:rofl: you've gotta be getting me. EVERY TEAM in the NBA would sign Josh Howard regardless of him smoking weed. He's a great young player who anyone would want to have.




Also in response to everyone saying "ohhh, the kids will want to be like their role models and their start smoking to." I absolutely HATE that method of thinking. Kids aren't mindless drones, any child old enough to start handling drugs is old enough to stop blindly following media personalities.

i dont doubt that for a second. just my observation being in the workplace. i work with people who i know could do better if drugs and alcohol werent so important to them.

again, i have no problem with it. like every choice we make, we deal with the consequences good or bad.

Perhaps you have it backwards, and doing better isn't so important to them.

That's the attitude, their stimulus check is in the mail.
Go Bucks!

obviously you are correct. although these dudes are always the ones sitting in the lunch room complaining they are broke all the time wishing they didnt have to still live at home or with roommates. if your way to enjoy life is getting high, well i dont even really know where to start. i guess i say, enjoy.
