    Especially since the US Attorney General declared war on marijuana use this week, including changing the states who allow it.

    Please try and keep this thread for discussing our favorite Civil War Re-enactor and former left handed pitcher.
    Sorry, Plus. Didn't see this until after I posted. I'll delete it if you want.

    Just a general warning going forward for the thread to keep things on the rails.

    Yeah....at this point in his baseball career I kinda doubt 50 games is all that meaningful. Pain can make people do some really illegal things. Been there and done it..
    As far as I'm concerned people with severe pain ought to be permitted to stop the pain by any means necessary. It's not as if you can just look at someone and determine their level of pain. I recently planted a hatchet in my kneecap and of course the docs at the VA are looking at one thing..my past history 20 years ago.. screw em.. it hurts.
    Just to clarify, I'm not out robbing banks to make my knee feel better.

    You must have really wanted those meds bad to put a hatchet in your kneecap!

    An article out in The Athletic about Lamb’s struggles with marijuana use.

    Very sad. And he was “under the influence” for all of his Reds starts.

    Thanks for sharing the link, kal. What a fantastic read.

    Just when I start questioning that $60 annual subscription to The Athletic, they run an article like that and remind that they’re worth it.

    i don't think it would have mattered (because he simply wasn't good enough) but MLB basically ending his career due to him using marijuana is completely stupid. meanwhile, every team has a beer sponsor and every team doctor is handing out pain pills like they are candy.

    hypocrisy at its finest.
