If they're guilty, they ought to accept responsibility,
no question.

Maybe be they all really like weed. Maybe they expect the price of weed to jump up. I think arbitrary numbers makes the amount a felony are silly.
Legalize it and these sort of stupid, petty crimes will become almost non-existent.

Avoid this type off stupid, petty behavior and it would not be an issue.....As it stands now legally, it is a crime.

If it's not weed it will be something else.
Agreed. Basic psychology teaches us that the human mind is drawn to things considered taboo, whether it be man's law or God's law that makes them so. Legalize pot, and spice will explode even bigger than it already is. Legalize spice, and it will simply be on to the next big thing that society deems inappropriate. Slippery slope if you ask me.

I agree that we may have dodged a bullet. Wonder if Bama had questions about his character before he flipped. Saban made a note of saying we have a class of high character on NSD. Wonder what point he was trying to make. Was it dealt toward accepting DJ Pettway? Reason for letting Bessent, Chris Williams, and Stephen roberts go? Just curious why he made that unsolicited comment.

It sure looks like we dodged one. As much as I'd like to think the staff spotted a problem and avoided it, I think it's probably the luck of the draw.
These are teenagers, many of whom think they're indestructible...and untouchable.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls...just be thankful it wasn't us this time.

We have a name for people with that much, it's called a "dealer". But I'm sure he didn't know cough cough.
He was a passenger, so all jokes aside that will certainly be the defense (and it may very well be true, in fairness to him).

The 8 ounces is tricky. Again, like I said before, it's definitely enough to assure that you are arrested and charged with a felony. Actual proving an intention to distribute, however, is still a tricky matter. It's just not an amount that is necessarily associated with dealing -- like, say, a couple of pounds -- and believe it or not, with three or four guys to split it, some people could smoke through 8 ounces in no time. You could always argue it was for personal consumption, which in this case it may very well have been. OTOH, eight ounces isn't exactly someone caught rolling with a joint in the backseat...

If they didn't, and this were 50 years ago, and the recruit came from the Left Coast instead of the right, the headline would read Kalvaraz Signs With Alcatraz...

Not when it comes to being young and stupid, they don`t. Most all of us have been there in one way or another.
