For all on here that want him jailed can we please send the bill for his room and board to you.  Is the guy a moron, no question,  is he or will he be the only moron that will or could be busted for pot.....? Not friggin likely.  The time, effort and expense of all this could be better spent on other issues. 

No one wants Carter jailed. I doubt he'll get more than a fine. I hope he gets off.

But the schadenfreude is too good.

It's pot.... who cares... it's a farce that they are even laying charges on people still.

30 grams is still big bag of weed... more so then legally permitted after the law comes into effect... he was trafficking for all in tents and porpoises..

Plus he attempted to smuggle it across an Intl. border, that's the bigger issue IMO.

[Noeller]

I'm just torn if I want him banned or be forced to continue being a moron with the Riders...either one is fine. And 30 grams isn't just a joint. That's the line for "intent to traffic", for a reason...

[DR. CFL]

Well Edm fans are revolting about the release of Bowman. Fans need to understand that in the Salary Cap era that when you are making top dollar and when a roster bonus is basically locking you in for another year that “ what have you done for me lately” is the order of the day.  Did I get or will I get value for my money becomes the factor in your continued service at the $$$ value.?

That's just silly.  If I buy 48 rolls of toilet paper, it just means I'm stocking up because I know I'll use it eventually.  Doesn't mean I'm selling toilet paper to the neighbourhood kids.

[Tracker]

The quantity isn't the issue, nor is whether or not THC is harmful. The pending legalization for personal use is irrelevant as well. Carter had to know that he is an alien in Canada with permission to be and work here under condition. The Rider fans are contorting themselves to justify Carter and simultaneously crying and wringing their hands about the unfairness of it all.  There are a few sane posters there, but it is a hilarious hissy-fit overall.

It is stupid. 100% makes no sense. But in this 1 case. I'm 100% for it. Don't jail him though...just send him back home.

Wow... Riders reportedly in the mix for Adarius Bowman...  where the fk are they getting all this $$ to sign vets?

Everyone else is shedding salary...  must be a lot of free car washes...

[blueingreenland]

4 teams contacting Bowman...including Riders and Bombers

Thank you  Atomic for putting perspective to this over blown “crime”.  

 This while the government advertises “ do dangerous street drugs with a buddy” or get  your free overdose kit just in case.  To me that is encouraging criminal activity,  and  on the dime of taxpayers.  To me that is the Real Crime.  Is the guy a moron , agreed but drug trafficker?

To give you a sense of perspective, safe injection sites and other such measures for harm reduction actually save money for the health care system. About 70-80 percent of drug dealer income comes from pot sales and this also brings teens into contact with dealers who will offer freebies of the real bad stuff

1) that's not what I said. Adding another game changer and a depth player isn't the entire corps.

2) the 2016 Redblacks would disagree.

Darvin Adams was brought here through FA, so was Dressler, so we get another couple FAs in here then yeah it's pretty much the entire group brought in via free agency. Hell even JFG and Coates were brought in as free agents. Just so tired of always needing to rely on free agents to get receivers. Walters ain't done a good job bringing in receivers.

You expect Chris Jones to follow rules like everybody else?

[rebusrankin]

I for one am stunned that Carter didn't have a fall guy for this? Didn't his Dad teach him anything?

Scratch SJ Green off the list.....re-signs in TO.....

He flew to Saskatoon to attend the Kinsmen celebrity dinner.

Really? That’s just silly. If I buy 48 automatic weapons, it just means I’m stocking up because I know I’ll use it eventually. Doesn’t mean I’m selling automatic weapons to the neighbourhood kids.

Marijuana possession of over 30 grams, almost always, is a charge of possession with the intent to traffic. I am wondering if that isn't his specific marijuana charge here in Manitoba. What was he doing here on November 25th you ask? My guess is visiting Jordan Reaves....lmao.

Even a high Duron Carter isn't stupid enough to waste Grey Cup weekend in Regina.

You may be misunderstanding the druggie mindset.

How is that even remotely comparable?

Weed, toilet paper, & automatic weapons - metaphor fun on MBB.
