Ray Brown loses year for suspension

[MacabreMob]

I contend it is very possible to get that kind of exposure while in school at a college such as BU. All it would take is to spend an hour in a room that 4 people are smoking, and the test proves that would do it.

Maybe I am missing something in this discussion. Are we suggesting RB may have had passive exposure and we are discussing evidence that supports a theory such as this?

A point I would like to make is....

There is a room with 4 people smoking... a non-smoker is gonna do one of two things:

1) Leave (sooner than hanging out for 1 hr)

2) Smoke

So in my opinion, the passive exposure to create a high level just isn't gonna happen.

not necessarily true, smoking tobacco yeah, but smoking weed, maybe not. Some people like the smell, just dont want to do it themselves, and will stick around to chill with there friends.

just wait around a bit after they are done, free pizza or other food! :wink:

I noticed a couple of people point out that RB made the statement that he, "didn't have any choice". Before reading the article I thought that meant he didn't have any choice but to smoke marijuana.

Not sure if anyone else has addressed this, but in my reading of the Reynolds article, it seemed to me like he was saying he didn't have any choice but to grow up in a household where it was used regularly. I really don't see anything wrong with that statement, when you're a kid, you have little or no say in what your parents do or the environment where you live. Both my parents smoked cigarettes and I hated it, but had to live under the same roof with them.

Now - that said, I doubt this is a 2nd hand smoke situation, but have no inside info. I also wouldn't be surprised if RB gathered some legal advice in this matter and some type of legal appeal was filed above & beyond what the school has already done and independent of BU.

Just out of curiosity, I checked to see how many stories there were on athletes using marijuana
just in the past 24 hours.
I know these events didn't all occur in the past 24 hours, but the news reports DID.
I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but to tell the truth...I was.....
