Another brilliant quote…
This time from our own Srul Itza. I cannot believe that no one (Rob Neyer?) has ever said this before (they probably have and I just didn’t see it)…
Ron Washington said this:
Washington told ESPNDallas.com’s Richard Durrett that he used marijuana “a few times” during the early stages of his minor league playing days.
“It was not an ongoing thing,” Washington said. “I was young and didn’t know better.”
Srul commented with this:
Tens of millions of Americans have smoked pot. For young people in the 60’s and 70’s it was almost a rite of passage. The overwhelming majority of them did not go on to become heroin or cocaine addicts, but went on to lead normal lives. As with alcohol consumption, once they had to maintain a regular 9-5 life style, raise kids, etc., etc. the use of intoxicants was phased down or phased out. Some of them may still toke up every once in a while, much the same people have a beer after work.
Yet every time somebody is “outed” for having smoked pot, they feel the need to apologize and to minimize their actions, like it was some great moral failing. They only did it once. They didn’t inhale. They “experimented.”
Spare me. Smoking a little weed is not some vast moral outrage or sin.
And if weed is a gateway drug, then alcohol is the biggest gateway drug of them all.
I am so sick and tired of people not being honest…
