Perhaps the best things I learned in college were self discipline and personal responsibility. Maybe you can get a GT degree without them, but life afterwards is impossible if you don't. It seems that he is possibly still struggling with one or both.
It's like anything else
Watch the news... It happens. I know a person that went bat sh!t crazy after eating her special brownies. She "knew" someone was there"to get them" and was going to put a hole through them before they touched her. It wasn't a pretty scene. We had to restrain her.
As long as you don't bring a gun we're good [emoji6]
All true. Just pointing out that "it" can and does happen with pot.
Big if. NFL is big on off field behavior and it doesn’t matter how good you are.
It depends on what you do. Kneel during the national anthem? Black balled for life. Punch your girlfriend in the face? Three game suspension.
Truth can be stranger than fiction.
You are pretty naive if you don't think people are driving high around you all the time. And I could easily find examples of people with identical behaviors to the rest of your post who weren't on any drugs at all, so the anecdotal evidence isn't going to earn you any points either.
Not yearning to gather points. Just giving facts.
I think you need to revisit your thought process on this one. The team/school policies and rules were in place long before DM decided to come to GT. He understood what the rules were. He understood what the ramifications were. He violated GTAA policy once and was reprimanded. He was given counselling (school policy) and everyone moved forward. He was caught in violation of the same GTAA policy a second time. Again, counselled, and this time the repercussions were game suspensions (which hurt his team). At that time, he knew that if he violated the same school policy a third time that he would be excused from the team and no longer be part of the GTAA. He chose to violate the same policy a third time.
