What's the difference between smoking weed and having a vodka and cranberry? Both give you a buzz and make you feel relaxed. I personally don't care if anyone does it behind closed doors. But getting on a plane is different story.

It is not legal in Canada. There has been talk of that, but still Illegal here.

What if someone gets caught with it in Canada? Isn't it just a slap on the wrist?

.... oh sheesh... another "let's legalize weed" argument.

I've seen people who are addicted to weed, and it's not pretty. I don't care how many times I hear people say you can't get addicted to it, BECAUSE YOU CAN! It ruins peoples lives because all they want to do is sit on their couch and get high.... SAY NOPE TO DOPE!

OH SHEESH??? A lot of things ruin peoples lives when things are abused. Anything that is abused is not pretty. I agee with you but I don't get all bent out of shape if people smoke it casually.

I imagine his brother Marcus is looking up the definition of “hypocrite”.

Marcus is busy dealing with his own lawsuit. He is being sued by a teenager who says he has a sexual relationship with her for 2 years. The suit is for $63 million. I guess the girl is alledging sexual battery and emotional distress.

Yeah, she isn't just looking for a payday. They should award her $1 and make her wait 2 years to get it. Idiot.

Don't rear end (pun intended) her, you will be in court for 3 years...

Actually, Marcus is looking up "Hippokrit"

Trade that bum and get all you can for him. This is story from awhile ago, but a friend of mine went out to dinner with Mike Vick and about six or seven people while Vick was a senior at VaTech. What he told me was a story that was a sure sign of things to come. The guy doesn't speak to the staff or the waitress at the restaurant once the whole night. He only communicates by snapping fingers at the staff as in come hither lesser humans. He amuses himself by pointing at things on the menu he wants and then snapping his fingers. He literaly snapped his fingers over and over and over and of course he thought he was just hilarious. Big Man on Campus. My friend said he has never been more embarassed for someone or for himself. I really hate stuff like that. Hope he never wins a title and the way he plays I don't think I have to worry.

hate to hear that, but can surely believe it's true. I was in grad school at VT when Vick was playing (btw, he didn't stay till his sr. year). It was an exciting year on campus when he played his 1st year in 99, and in town he couldn't go anywhere w/out strangers approaching him. He was an overnight star practically.
I'm not blaming it on success though, a smart and/or decent person would be able to see that such behavior is not beneficial long term.
on a positive note, up until now he's kept himself outta trouble other than the Ron Mexico thing, and I think he can be really good w/the right system (not the west coast) and decent recievers. If it weren't for all the hype, people would think he's a decent qb, just not a great one. Instead, due to all the media attention, people are starting to regard him as a failure, which I disagree with.

And giving home fans the finger and screaming at them to "F*** Off."

And hanging his head coach out to dry last year (when he said "It's a question that needs to be answered. We're too good to be losing these games. We should be up there among the elite." in reply to whether Mora deserved to continue.).

And making ridiculous pronouncements (Vick stated after the 2004 season that he wouldn't cut his hair until he won a Super Bowl.).

And proving that he is, indeed, a coach killer.

I was thinking the same thing about his sr. year. A friend of my sister represents Vick and would say quite the opposite of what he had said about him. Who knows!

Wow. What a jackass. I would've probably walked out, or kicked him in the balls -- or both.
