I made the same mistake in a post earlier in this thread, which is ridiculous. I guess I was thinking that people have been suspended for concaine and meth before, but only for THC when they were busted at an airport or something. If THC got you a ban then a majority of the NBA would be busted.

Yes you can get suspended, if it is detected multiple times.
[QUOTE]If a player tests positive for marijuana for the first time during Reasonable Cause Testing, First-Year Testing, or Veteran Testing, or he is convicted of, or pleads guilty, nolo contendre or no contest to, the use or possession of marijuana in violation of the law, he will be required to enter the program. A second such violation will result in a $15,000 fine and the player's re-entry into the program. A third (or any subsequent) such violation will result in a five-game suspension and the player's re-entry into the program.[/QUOTE]

I just realized, all the Mayo fans are just [I]gone.[/I][QUOTE=8BeastlyXOIAD]knick and Bulls fans you still want this guy?[/QUOTE]
I'm neither but if he was available for cheap I'd take him on the Cs to back up Rondo and Allen, as well as Allen's long-term replacement. He's slumping but his rookie season wasn't an accident, he's still a talented player. Just not as good as people thought he would be. I maintain he's got the same skills and athletic ability as young Gilbert Arenas.

Of course it's gonna be represented as a prohibited substance in the NBA drug policy. It doesn't mean it actually gets enforced. Has anyone ever been suspended or fined for weed in the league? I've heard even Peja rolls it up, let alone all the brothers in the league.
