What's second-degree possession? Possessing with a lack of intent?
1st Degree means you had intent to possess?

So, for all you supporters and partakers of marijuana, what is so flipping hard about buying groceries before you smoke, locking your doors at home and staying there while you do it?

I couldn't read the article (not going to register and all that crap) so if this wasn't how Tennison was caught, please just view this as a question in general due to most guys getting caught this way.

No idea. How people still get in trouble with this is pretty impressive honestly.

Yea, I'm pretty sure it is partially based on how much pot he had on him. They basically assume you are going to distribute once you have a certain amount.

I've got a novel idea. How about if something is against the law people just not doing it!

Agreed, that is the simplest solution. With that said, I'd support legalizing marijuana possession. Lets focus on the murderers and rapists not the stoners and tokers.

Not at all an expert here but it has always seemed odd to me that football (both NFL and college) were/are so strongly against Marijuana. Its not a performance enhancer and allegedly really helps some players deal with the pain and injuries. Regardless of its legality its just always seemed off that this is a major issue in sports.

Bad time of the year. Football season is over. Lots of players stray off the Reservation...
I'm not gonna use the Boys Will Be Boys Defense.
Running around with dope, or running around drunk is something lots of college boys do...
BUT...
Our football players are under the microscope from the time they set foot on our campus, until they die. (Hopefully of old age)
Possession of MJ will quickly land a player in Coach Saban's 'Dog House'.
Infractions this time of year, allow other players to maybe move up ahead of the player in our coaches eyes. AND... Everyone's eyes will be on that player from this day forward.
Actions have consequences...

To quote my ole Dad (RIP)
'Son, if your gonna be stupid, you better be tough'.

Tennison will get a second chance, because Coach Saban believes in Second chances...
BUT... Major Tennison better not blow the second chance.

I kind of feel the same way about going out drinking, yet that's a really popular activity. It's still pretty unwise though, you pay more, to put yourself in a situation where you are impaired in public, could possibly end up breaking any number of laws, put yourself in harms way, etc... but that's the idea of fun for a lot of people. Same thing here, it isn't wise but a heck of a lot of people do it.
