What's in your Cuban?


Hello... Hello... Okay, Im glad you're still there, I couldn't hear you for a second. Im still here as well.


Back to live action. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban recently admitted on a sports radio show that he has smoked weed before. Cuban did not go into detail about his use but his admission was in defense of his all-star forward Josh Howard. He was prompted by Dan Patrick, formerly of ESPN, who asked, "do you care if he [Howard] smokes pot"? Cuban replied that he would be a hypocrite if he said yes. I guess its reassuring to know that smoking weed doesn't stop you from earning billions. However on the business side of things i don't think Cuban would be wrong if he cared. Im almost certain that when Cuban puffed he wasn't required to be in tip-top shape and his lungs weren't tied to fourth quarter like light bulbs are to darkness. Although Cuban says that he believed Howard had not done so during the season, he still needs to look into it no matter how small he perceives it to be (he does pay this guy millions).


Since im on this subject; granted smoking weed is illegal is it really something that should be? From my personal accounts as the third person perspective the people i have observed don't appear to be to detrimental to society when mentally dusted. If you ask me (and only if) alcohol appears to wreak more havoc than weed does. Hey, Im just saying...doesn't weed cure glaucoma?
