So even if he was "distributing," which probably means hooking up a few buddies with a good deal, anyone on here saying this is some sort of moral lapse in character is pretty funny.

I’m with you on pretty much everything you said. He just doesn’t NEED to sell it though and he has to understand pennywise and pound(no pun intended) foolish. Even if he was in CA if he were selling it would be a felony because he isn’t licensed.

You’re probably right in that he was probably just selling here and there to friends, but that obviously fricked him over major if someone dimed him out. Making six figures and doing weed man side quests is wild.

I don’t think he did anything amoral aside from let his teammates down by doing dumb shite.

I’m no one to judge because I’ve done some incredibly dumb shite in my life and mostly lucked my way through it. But I never once had potentially millions of dollars that was contingent on me not doing dumb shite either.

I mean, call me crazy, but I’d say committing a couple of felonies solely to make a little side money and letting down your team and the program that’s invested 100s of thousands of dollars into you and your game is a moral lapse. If nothing else, it’s vanity to think you are above the law.

Such a non issue but good old west alabama narcotics gonna frick it up

The easier route is that we should just... stop prosecuting marijuana

I agree with this.

Or just don't break the law. It's pretty easy to not get arrested. I've managed to make it 41 years myself.

I’m sure I’ll be in the minority with my opinion, and I’m cool with that. But he needs to be kicked off the team and expelled from school. Any other regular student at UA would 100% be so why should he get preferential treatment?

Selfishly I think he should get kicked off the team so that we can at least appear to have a culture of accountability. At some point it's less about the crime and more about just being an absolute moron. I could not care less about someone smoking pot, my college roommate's entire daily schedule revolved around cutting out room for weed breaks in between any activity he planned. But at some point, you just have to not put your entire well being at risk and that of those counting on you.

Morality aside, the expectation of consequences given the established penalty in the jurisdiction he lives in makes it unforgivably dumb.

He’s been removed from campus, whatever that means.
