I'd be willing to bet more than a few of Webb's teammates use marijuana on a recreational basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 27, 2013 -> 03:52 PM) You dont need to have more than an for O even a felony to be charged. I believe that the police optionally can issue a ticket. Also you can be charged with distribution for having an amount vastly less than an oz if you have it in separate bags etc. They are all just money makers, it just so they can force him to plead it down at a huge fine. Well to be fair its up to 30 grams until its a felony, but I believe they almost automatically ticket up to 15. Not more than 2.5 grams: Class C misdemeanor (up to 30 days in jail, fines up to $2500) More than 2.5 grams but not more than 10 grams = Class B misdemeanor; More than 10 grams but not more than 30 grams = Class A misdemeanor; (Subsequent offense = Class 4 Felony) More than 30 grams but not more than 500 grams = Class 4 Felony; (Subsequent offense = Class 3 felony) More than 500 grams but not more than 2,000 grams = Class 3 Felony; More than 2,000 grams but not more than 5,000 grams = Class 2 Felony; More than 5,000 grams = Class 1 Felony.

This would concern me if I was going to keep him on the roster. I know most people don't think marijuana is a big deal but it has a major impact on athletes especially football players. The TCH in it drastically slows down the inflammation and healing process. This is why people can get a medical prescription for it for chronic inflammatory diseases. In football with the beating they take smoking it will slow down their recovery and extend injury times. Many NFL players would use it because it made their soreness the next day less but in reality it extended the problem. It's a short term feel good for long term bad effects. We use to try to educate the players on it and some got it and others didn't. Sometimes there is a reason seemingly minor injuries take extra time to heal.

Yes, most don't. Like I said, it isn't a league wide thing as they really don't care about it. It was just some of the medical staff that tried. Most of the players think that it is better for them the day after a game to decrease the soreness than a pain killer or pain reliever. They just don't realize how hard it is on their healing process and their cardiovascular system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Webb, 24, was arrested Sunday night after police pulled him over for speeding on I-57. His 2007 Ford was clocked at 11 miles above the 65 mph speed limit about six hours south of Chicago, according to Paula Pilgram, executive secretary for the Pulaski County sheriff's office. After being pulled over, police found less that 2.5 grams of marijuana, Pilgram said, reading from a police report. Per Tribune Puzzles me how he got out of it so quickly.

The only time I'd go slower is when school first started/ended and start/end of Christmas break because cops hate students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I absolutely will not speed on Illinois Interstates, ever. I drive 65. Yes, even watch the Interstate limit in Chicago. 55 right? I always get to my destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get to my destination. Wow. My cousin is a state cop in Indiana and if you aren't at least 12 over the speed limit they won't even look up from their coffee. Besides, the way traffic laws are in Indiana they make about 3x as much money from ticketing semis as cars, so some will even ignore cars speeding up to 20 over just to not take time away from the opportunity to pull over a semi.

Well apparently you know the worst kind, but at least when it comes to highway cops most I've talked to or read about say 20mph is the cushion they give which is why I always stuck with only going 75 down 57 and never had a problem.

Jake Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 When I drive to Memphis on 55/57 (both interstates are equidistant for me, so I take 57 if the weather is decent and/or it is light out because I have to take 20 miles of two-lane roads to get to it)...I keep it at 70 until I get to Missouri, then I let it eat.
