We can't even go to liquor stores on Sunday, I think we're a long ways off from having legal medicinal marijuana.

I don't think Minnesota is as far off as you think. The medical marijuana issue has seen more attention by the state government than a new Vikings stadium has.

Which comes first? (lol)

Good to see he is back at practice.

I hope that all is well with Sidney also, but his nagging injury is starting to concern me more.

If Favre hangs it up (hell, even if he doesn't) we need a healthy Sidney and Percy to strike in the aerial attack.

Welcome back Harvin. Time to score the touchdowns.

There's a big part of me that thinks his preference for the leafy green stuff might have helped alleviate some of these issues for him. Performance enhancing, indeed.

=Z=

And why should it not improve his attitude?

Apparently Favre also wants more of the leafy green stuff to return, $20 million of it if I heard right.

As for it being performance enhancing... how often do we see a player's performance improve when he is in a contract year and stands to make a lot more leafy green?

:laugh:

So, he wouldn't have come back without it.

He is coming back from it, so either not ok or else he was slouching.

Do they test for pot in the NFL? Maybe he should smoke more to ease the pain on off days....

They do test in the NFL for Marijuana.

I hadnt considered the absence as part of a more holistic healing process. I know he is spending a ton of time with some docs from Mayo on the issue.

Either way it is good to have him back and I hope that he is as explosive or moreso than last season.

I heard that he is working out an endorsement contract as the lead spokesman for Doritos. That would be so cool.

Let's do both. The marijuana could pay for the stadium.

Back to Harvin though. I believe the NFL only tests players once a year for recreational drugs, and the players know when it is. It could be Harvin needed a little extra time to clear his system.

(they test more frequently for performance enhancers or for those in the drug program)

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Harvin enter the league on the substance abuse program due to his failed test at the combine?
