    Marcus Camby was arrested earlier this month for marijuana possession, his cousin said it was his but the cops still charged Camby. The charges were dropped. The problem is that it is illegal and a stigma has been attached to it. I think if it were legal people would not deal it as much as they do, the government could make money off of it, many people who are criminals only due to marijuana possession could be let out of prison thus creating room for true criminals. Personally I think alcohol is much more dangerous then weed, but I'm in the silent majority. (not so silent)

    Drugs are bad, but marijuana is not as horrible as alcohol, I agree. I have a friend that used it to treat cancer, and by all accounts, he said it helped. He is now cancer free.

    I was shocked but I am sure he is not the only player that fires one up in the off season. Just glad it's the only incident in recent years and hopefully it will be the last of any off the court problems. I still support Camby, hopefully.

    Tim Lincecum, Michael Phelps, Josh Howard, Marcus Camby, these are all very successful athletes who have been caught using marijuana in the off season. They are still highly successful  and use it responsibly. Yet they get worse publicity than players who go out and get drunk and get in altercations at strip clubs, its sad.

    don't forget another recent Blazer on the list of successful atheletes who also partakes in recreational marijuana use and was recently caught, Mr. Dante Cunningham

    the respective charges were dropped against Marcus, and the case against Dante was dismissed.

    Claver will make a great squad player when he develops his outside shot. His size is an asset because he can guard SF and stretch 4s. If he can be a better rebounder and add a post move to his game we could be looking at a possible answer to our f...

    Oden was definitely the best pick coming out of high school and arguably ahead of Durant in the 2007 draft. But the draft is art not science and we really needed a dominant center at the time. If we can get Oden for a short term low-risk deal. Lik...
