Noeller Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Anyone know if Mack's presser will be streamed? CJOB?
Mike Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I was chuckling to myself, thinking we could use Hodgekinson right about now to make this go away... I still remember when Odell Willis phoned me to ask me where I wanted to meet him to pick up my Swaggerville shirts. I don't even want to know what he was on, but I swear it must have been something interesting for him to have introduced himself as "The Master of the Cosmic Universe and Ruler of Swaggerville"

For those who aren't following along on Twitter, Mack says it's basically a non-issue and that it's his understanding that the whole thing will just go away. Hefney will play tomorrow vs Toronto, and his status with the club will be judged solely on his performance, and not anything to do with this incident. Mike 1

The very last thing we need to be doing is start cutting otherwise perfectly capable players over petty things like this, least of all impact players like Hefney.
Noeller Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 But again, the fact that Hefney didn't say anything to anyone about this is a big problem, regardless of how you feel about the pot possession. I'm sure they'll handle that internally, tho... TrueBlue 1
Atomic Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 6m Hefney has a court date on June 19 in S. Carolina, and is innocent until proven guilty. Source tells me he will not have to appear. #Bombers
Jimmy Pop Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I think he should of told the team. Of course he should of. But at the same time, wouldn't agents advise against this and insist their players no to disclose anything they don't have to?
kelownabomberfan Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Posted June 11, 2013 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk2m Joe Mack says Hefney will be judged solely on his play. They're going to let due process take its course. #Bombers MOBomberFan 1

Brandon Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 I'm sure half the players from the States are into some kind of drugs, it's not a huge surprise. What's disappointing as said before is that he didn't disclose it to the team in advance, that's quite unprofessional of him
kelownabomberfan Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Posted June 11, 2013 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk21m Mack is under the impression that Hefney's charge could go away soon. Hefney says he will plead not guilty. #Bombers
Bigblue204 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Glad the bombers are letting things play out the way they will. And not over reacting. I'm also glad someone brought up the point that he probably won't have to go to court because he was issued a ticket. Not arrested. Isn't that how it works. If I get a speeding ticket I don't go to court and get sentenced. I pay the fine and move on. Don't know if that applies here but it doesn't seem to make sense for him to go to court when he's been given a ticket.As for the smell was in the car so he must have been smoking. I'm guessing you guys haven't been around pot in a while. **** can be strong. If it was in some foil, or just a small bag it could just be real stinky stuff. No smoking needed for a smell. Though I bet he probably was, anyone follow his instagram?? Lots of red eyes. just sayin lol.And smoking and driving, you guys gotta do some research (I can recommend some books if needed). Plenty of studies show that someone who uses then drives is less likely to drive dangerously, and can actually drive safer then when sober. though it does depend on how much was used, and how the driver used ie smoking, eating, pipe, bong, vaporizer etc. And the strength/type of pot. It's a pretty complicated subject which is why the laws on it aren't as solid as the Drinking and driving laws.

In this case, your theory proves wrong, if he indeed was high at the time. Going nearly 20 kph over the speed limit does not constitute safe driving.
Jimmy Pop Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2013/06/10/mb-cfl-bombers-hefney-marijuana.html In this case, your theory proves wrong, if he indeed was high at the time. Going nearly 20 kph over the speed limit does not constitute safe driving. But wouldn't it be safe to assume he was NOT high (at least legally speaking) ? If he was, and the police thought he was, I'd imagine he would have gotten a DUI type charge as well.

Going nearly 20 kph over the speed limit does not constitute safe driving. It's not "my theory" it's backed by multiple studies. And repeating what has already been said. Where does it say that he was using and driving?

The reason you don't see DUI charges for pot is because there isn't a good way to measure the levels of the stuff in your system roadside like you can with alcohol so you can't ever get a conviction.

bluto Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 JimTothCJOB For those asking, Yes I still believe the #Bomberscut Jonathan Hefney. Camp isn't over yet. We'll see when it is.
rebusrankin Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 Actually several studies have shown that it has a negative impact on your driving but thanks for playing.
SmokinBlue Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 And smoking and driving, you guys gotta do some research (I can recommend some books if needed).

TrueBlue Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 It's not "my theory" it's backed by multiple studies. And repeating what has already been said. Where does it say that he was using and driving? There are studies that likely prove both sides, so just because you read books that say one thing, doesn't mean there aren't other books that prove the opposite too. And to answer your question, I said that it is probably safe to assume he wasn't using anyways.
Atomic Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 A 2009 review published in the American Journal of Addiction concluded that driving high is likely less dangerous than driving drunk, and a recent investigation by the Institue for the Study of Labor found that the legalization of medical marijuana in the United States has been linked to a dramatic decrease in traffic fatalities. That said, a study published last year in the British Medical Journal concluded that smoking pot within few hours of driving is still associated with a nearly two-fold risk of being involved in a serious car crash
iso_55 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Posted June 11, 2013 It's not "my theory" it's backed by multiple studies. And repeating what has already been said. Where does it say that he was using and driving? I think it's time that airline pilots smoked weed before their flights to make the skies safer for us passengers.
