Grad Transfers and Marijuana Use

[UofCT]

Thanks Zags. Really good contribution.

Why?

 

[auror]

Why?

Sarcasm. What's the point of tweeting information that "has been reported by multiple outlets." He's adding 0 value to anyone.

Unrelated to the suspension, but FWIW

Ty Outlaw's roommate Chris Clarke charged with marijuana possession

From what's written in the article we shouldn't go anywhere near Clarke. Plus, Outlaw tested clean when he returned from the team's tournament appearance and the possession charge seems to have come from a police search while Outlaw was away. Clarke was home though but apparently failed to tell the police he was the only one home the day before when the officer noticed the smell of burnt marijuana coming from the apartment.

"Clarke has been charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor for a second or subsequent offense for alleged marijuana possession."

It's crazy, such a waste of time and money for everyone

Read some of the latest scholarly studies on what it does to young, developing, minds. "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" was very prescient with the Spicoli character. This push to legalize is just a money grab by the states who want to tax it.

SMH. We've had basketball/football players who have done FAR worse. We should absolutely go after Clarke.

Alcohol does far worse.

Scary scary weed! Ruining the youth

We don't know that yet because the widespread use of marijuana is still in its infancy. I'm concerned the nursing home staff will all be spaced out when I need their attention.

Not so sure about that...

Clarke smokes weed?!?! Can't have him anywhere near our team and their young impressionable minds

I'm sure we have had a couple of players that didn't smoke weed.

lol it is not in its infancy. more people just admit to using it now.

Marijuana is a lot more beneficial than it is harmful. Some really good research coming out of Spain and France in particular showing its effect on completely destroying cancer cells in Petri dishes. Also it is improving memory retention and brain function in rats with prior TBI and Alzheimer’s.

I am a doctorate level student and since I’ve been dosing daily, my test scores have increased and my stress levels have decreased. I’ve also been able to exercise with less pain now and more frequently.

Overall I’m a better person because of it. If it’s not for you that’s fine, but it does not deserve the criminal associations it receives, especially from the the older generations that view it as taboo within our society.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Sorry if this was answered already I skipped to the end of the thread, but is this Clarke that we recruited heavy a few years ago then went to VTech before transferring/getting asked to leave?

 

[HHusky]

If you are a doctoral student then you probably know that an unscientific report from a sample size of one is interesting but not likely to carry much scientific weight.

If Chris Clarke is healthy (that knee surgery 3 years back) and he only smoked pot but wants to come to UConn we should take him. He does so many things on the court both ends, he would be a great addition as a basketball player. Liked him when he almost came here and would like him for one year added to the roster.

I agree but only if we don’t get Diallo

Who’s Diallo? I must be too casual.

Didn’t we hold off on Clarke for HD or am I misremembering or maybe we wanted him to reclassify

I think it was Bruce Brown that we were holding off on for Diallo and he got tired of waiting.

Clarke was 1-2 years earlier than Diallo I think?

It was David Beatty...ended up at South Carolina

Not if you get high every day. Eventually it will scramble your noggin. Ample stoner examples out there. That's why they're trying to pack the positives into a little pill or oil. I'm not a research doctor, but i play one on tv.

It was Bruce Brown as well that we pushed off for Diallo.

Clarke was when it was him, Derrick Jones and Tevin Mack. And we somehow got none

Brown was '16, Hami diallo was '17
