(USATSI) Over the weekend, Brandon Marshall found himself in a bit of a hazy situation. In Jamaica for his sister's wedding, Marshall wasn't necessarily partaking in any sort of activities that could get him suspended, but that didn't stop him from worrying about his next drug test. According to Marshall, Jamaica smells like Denver, where smoking marijuana is legal. Naturally, Marshall got worried about being in the presence of all that marijuana, because if it were to show up in his next drug test, he'd most likely be facing a suspension. And let's face it, Geno Smith and the Jets are kind of in need of Marshall's services. So, of course, Marshall tweeted about it to keep us all in the loop. And then, perhaps getting paranoid, Marshall decided he didn't want to hide anything from the NFL. So, he then tweeted at the league and asked for its help in dealing with his situation. The NFL did not, however, reply to Marshall's tweet, leaving Marshall's situation hazier than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Wow, I'd say there is already a >50% chance he has already had said drug test and suspension will be forthcoming. NFL needs to remove pot from the substance abuse penalties. It is ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL needs to remove pot from the substance abuse penalties. It is ludicrous. For non-violators NFL conducts it's drug test first week of camp with advance warning. Only a dope would put himself in a situation that he might be inhaling a contact high a week before that. Pot stays in a person's system a very long time. In order to get suspended he would have had to fail at least 2 previous tests. if this is his first trip, we might never know he was busted.

His tweet would suggest he is already in the random testing phase. I really hope nothing happens. There is a threshold too to account for second hand smoke just as there is now a way to tell if it is cocaine use or poppy seed bagets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly no expert, at least on the NFL's criteria for a failure, but I have read that it is unreasonable stringent. i guess we'll see in a week or two. The fact that he is pleading for help on twitter tells me your right. I'm sure the second he walks in the door some one will be standing there with a jar. Sure hope we don't have two star players down for weeks to start the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 This just in I'm worried about AIDS because there was a hooker sitting on the subway two rows away from me this morning. From what I recall, the NFLs policy on marijuana had their threshold for a positive test so f*cking low, even compared to Olympic standards, that it was possible for second-hand marijuana inhalation to trigger a positive test, but it's still highly unlikely unless he was tested within 24 hours after exposure.

joewilly12 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 He should have taken himself far away from the pot smoking activities these guys get paid millions and still need to be reminded. I get random drug tested at my work and I stay far way from any second hand smoke whenever I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaJetsFan Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 This is ludicrous! Most NFLers smoke pot. Who gives a sh*t? Just dumb. The NFL should concentrate more on criminal activity like letting air out of footballs - now there's a crime!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably the most stupid part of it. But then again he was probably high.

Joe W. Namath Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It was a terrible signing to begin with. There a reason he was available for peanuts. Just like santonio. New gm and coaching staff, same mistakes. Typical jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
