Josh Howard has agreed to terms with Utah

[Revolution 9]

I say the guy should get cut if he gets a speeding ticket. That's like illegal and shows a total lack of character and stuff.

Let's get real deep here.

He could kill someone speeding to practice before smoking pot after practice.

Interesting.

I don't know if it's still true, but Utah used to have the highest rate of presciption drug abuse in the country, or something like that.

Yeah, the following Desperate News report focuses on overuse of painkillers in punks (teen).

However, prescription pain medication has risen to be the fourth most-abused drug in the state, ahead of cocaine & crack.

This article mitigates the claim of prescription drug abuse in Utah by pointing out the Utahans use an above average quanitty of a wide range of pharmaceuticals (for example, penicillin, insulin, thyroid hormones, antirheumatics, and anticonvulsants). It also points out that Mormon-heavy Idaho and Arizona don't have a high rate of antidepressant use, so it may have something to do with Utah's policy on (and practice of) health care rather drug abuse (exclusively).

In which case, The Dopers would actually make more sense than The Jazz. Someone get Greg on the phone.

I do like the notion of Utah giving players a second chance. What doesn't make sense is that they are renting him for one year. This could be Wes Matthews redux. Or not.

Self-medicating and having a good time are related but different things. One could also make the case that suspending disbelief because familial and societal connections rely on it to some degree leads to cognitive dissonance.

I drove 29 in a 25 zone today. I know it was illegal and that I'm a bad person. I'm just hoping my actions have not affected any of you and that you can all forgive me. Am I still welcome on this board?

Slow down.

We don't want you to eat glass.

Howard will wear number 8. "Devin Harris took his preferred No. 5, and No. 8 just happened to be free."

although it's annoying to me that people don't have a problem with dopers

What?

How many 30ish adults have not smoked weed?

 

[TheSilencer1313]

Agreed. Who cares if someone has smoked weed before? Like I tell everyone, it's a plant!
Nobody ever seems to bring up these so-called legal prescription and non-prescription drugs that many more people are hooked on, and abusing.

They're not illegal so they're not bad.

Me. I've never done any illegal drugs. Been blacked out drunk before, but no drugs.

Been blacked out drunk before

Completely acceptable recreation. You might even say a perfect example of good behavior.

AK wants over 8M a year. We signed Howard for 3M. KOC did well.
