I never said marijuana isn't used in reference to cannabis. I just said it isn't technically correct and it's use is based on propaganda and racism.

I have a feeling both Jeff's will be the first and announced together.

You can insult me all you want. Doesn't change the fact that Marijuana is a tobacco like plant native to Mexico. Here ya go, maybe now you'll understand? "According to the second edition of Webster's New International Dictionary. the word originally denoted a species of wild tobacco, Nicotiana glauca.[20] The use of "marihuana" in American English increased dramatically in the 1930s, when it was preferred as an exotic-sounding alternative name during debates on the drug's use.[8] It has been suggested that in the United States the word was promoted by opponents of the drug, who wanted to stigmatize it with a "foreign-sounding name".[9] According to Lizzie Post, the word "marijuana" is deprecated because "in the early 1900s, the term marijuana was purposely used to negatively associate it with the Latino community."[21] The word was codified into law and became part of common American English with the passing of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937."

What am I saying that's wrong?

I'm not frustrated lol. I think it's rather funny that people disagree with actual facts and well known history. Yes Marijuana (you'll notice the government uses another spelling for some odd reason) is a common term. I was simply stating (once again) that it's not actually correct. I then explained how it came to be synonymous with Cannabis. That's it, that's all. Marijuana/marihuana will be out of the lexicon eventually. It's just a matter of time. And the most important law governing Cannabis is called what? Hint it's not the Marijuana act.

It certainly makes thing a bit more interesting. BLM bonus is 100k due mid January.

It's not a racial term. It was first used as a reference to cannabis to confuse the public because it sounded foreign (specifically Mexican) and used in racial propaganda. "Marijuana makes black men rape white women". This is not a theory, you can find the ads/warnings today. No one is suppressing anything lol. Jesus christ get off the soap box. It's just not a correct term. That's it. That's all. Laws or not, it's not what it is. Marijuana is one plant....cannabis is another. How they came to mean the same thing is based on propaganda and racism. I was giving you a history lesson. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

Yeah thats not what I meant. It was used due to its "foreign" sound back in the 1930s. There were literal ads talking about a new drug "Marijuana" and how it was making black and Hispanic men want to rape and kill white women. If they said it was cannabis, prohibition would have never happened, as it was used medically for many different reasons....and hemp was the major crop at the time....so instead they used Marijuana the scary drug from Mexico. Anyways, I don't hold any ill will towards people who say/use Marijuana. I just like to let it be known that's not what it's called. There's no reason to not call it cannabis, and there are reasons to stop calling it Marijuana. That's all.

I know. But it Doesn't mean it's correct.

Youre right it does evolve. Which is why its evolved from Marijuana to Cannabis. Which is why it's called the Cannabis Act. The cannabis store etc. No one in the industry says Marijuana. Even in law enforcement it's referred to as cannabis. There's also a healthy dose of racism behind the use of Marijuana.

One more thing before I go. During Grey cup week, the entire team was talked to about their cannabis use. As in they kept walking into meetings smelling like pot. So if for whatever brain dead reason you think there is only a hand full of users on any given football team (NFL or CFL) I'd invite you to start living in the 21st century.

This response will be joined to my earlier one I'm guessing but.... First. It's not Marijuana. It's Cannabis. Marijuana is a plant found in Mexico that is very similar to tobacco. People started using Marijuana to confuse farmers in the 1930(ish) so they wouldn't realize they were actually voting to make their hemp crops illegal. Also claims about potency going from 3-4% to 25-30% is hilarious and factually incorrect. Yes cannabis is more potent today than in the 60s. But to claim it was only 3% back when they didn't have tech to actually test is a funny take. Also without getting into details of how the plant grows and actually accumulates cannabinoids (THCA, CBDA etc) what most people get today in store is closer to 15-20%. Testing is not in anyway an exact science. And every flower bud will have a different potency than the next, even from the same plant. Only very rarely will you see 30% plus potency....and even then to say the entire plant holds that....is questionable at best. Companies often send out their best product to be tested, it is 100% not reliable. In terms of privacy, I'm sure Lawler will be fine with me talking about him on here....you know due to him taking multiple photos with staff that were solely for the purpose of social media. Jefferson also posted a video in his private residence where a small Bong was seen. So please Get off your high (no pun intended) horse. You're credentials etc aside. I can tell you do not actually understand the plant and what it does/doesn't do. So please feel free to message me if you'd like a more thorough education. Calm your **** Catan. No one cares.

It's 2021 man. Lawler is a stoner....but hes 100% not the only one. If you dont think Jefferson is a reliable athlete well...im not sure what youve been watching. Sounds like you could use some education on how cannabis impacts the body. Hint....everything that was traditionally taught about pot is actually only true for alcohol.

Also another fun fact I found out...which isn't surprising because I saw him my companies store a few times...but Lawler is a massive pot head. Which just makes me like him even more

I've heard that Eli won't be back. Apparently guys where pretty disappointed with him and there has been little to no contact since the WF. It's too bad, really talented guy. Who I thought they'd bring back regardless of vax status. But looks like both parties are moving on.

It's basically impossible to say either way right now with all the free agents. Every team COULD look very different come June.

Dobson I think is the name

Semantics aside. You CAN'T be clutch if you don't get it done.

The bolded part is the most important part of your point. Almost does not = clutch.

it's not like they don't have talent over there. They don't need to air lift in a bunch of people to be a solid team....they just need proper leadership on all levels.

I'm pretty sure it was Pruneau who called him out after he left Ottawa for pointing fingers at everyone but himself when things went wrong. And the Dlineman who played for edm (name escapes right now) and now plays for the Als complained more about his play style than personality.....but even that is telling a bit. He did walk it back once Harris joined the Als...but where's there's smoke... And of course the medical issue that mysteriously disappeared allowing him to get vaccinated. Add on his age and cost and I fail to see the upside.

Collaros also doesn't have a history of drama following him around. Teammates from multiple teams have come out and had less than ideal things to say about Harris. Add on the weird vaccine thing, I just don't think he's a FIFO kinda guy.

Ive never been interested in an aging back up who has no promise of a future with us. Rather roll with McGuire or another young prospect.
