quote:
His life was almost ruined and he almost killed himself over weed. I'm no fan of the stuff, but it's weed. He didn't rape, steal, kill, maim, hate crime, or anything. I know the argument that it is banned substance, but why is it banned in the first place or why so much weight given to its use by him and athletes and so little to everyone else in the world.
Tyrann lost a lot, but really think about being in jail in that state of mind arrested at a private residence not driving or danger to the rest of the world over that. And branded a thug and worse. I hate the compare it to alcohol argument, but let's do. Drinking at home no problem driving drunk problem. It is the same thing or even if not it caused far more damage than the crime. Now that said team rules need abided by, but almost losing a life over this was way overboard.
I think his problems went beyond the fact that weed isn't legal, but I guess it's fun to pretend that's all it was.
That being said, I'm glad it appears he has tackled his demons and is doing well.

His problems went beyond the illegality of weed ok? But it wasn't a failed series of other problem tests that got him booted or put in jail. Once again he smoked dope, which is illegal true, but my point is he lost more than a sex offender who was voted back on the team for violating another person. He was called all kind of names for it, and almost paid with his life, not because the drug was destroying his mind and body, but because he smoked it recreationally. I argue that if he tested positive for oxcotin or abused a similar drug, the same flames on here who call him a thug and loser would rush to his defense under some guise of he needs it for the abuse his body takes playing the game or some other shite. A young man was attacked unjustly.
