Like Russs in his last post hahaha.. reminds me of how Cleveland is doing Lebron, now that he has chosen to leave and sign with the Miami Heat. Talk about having no appreciation lol. Especially for the man who single handly kept your boring ass city relevant to the outside world, for the last 7 years. But oh well, I can care less..the only thing that's looking like a definite is their basketball organization is doomed. So i guess the fans and front office have to take their agression out on somehow right?

instead he wastes his talent on meaningless crap like...

Bernard Pollard, while he was still on my lackluster Chiefs, is the sports equivalent of Sa'wel people...but at least he's getting paid and he's known for doing this...

Injuring Tom Brady... Way bigger than "beating your meat like rocky"

Legalization could slash the price of pot 80%

Cost could drop to $38 per ounce if Proposition 19 passes, Rand Corp. researchers say. The tax implications and probable rise in consumption are impossible to predict, study finds.

California's cash crop could become dirt cheap if the state legalizes marijuana.

Researchers associated with the Rand Corp.'s Drug Policy Research Center said Wednesday that not much is certain about the potential impact of Proposition 19 except that the price of California's choicest weed could plunge more than 80%, down from $300 to $450 per ounce to about $38.

"That's a significant drop," said Beau Kilmer, co-director of the center. "We're very clear about the fact that the price will go down."

The implications of such a drop would be profound. Kilmer and four other researchers who analyzed marijuana legalization said consumption would rise, but they could not determine with any certainty by how much. "We cannot rule out increases of 50% to 100% or perhaps higher, but we just don't know," he said.

Such a low price could also affect pot prices across the nation, encourage marijuana tourism in the state, increase the amount of pot shipped out of state, disrupt the smuggling of marijuana from Mexico and stimulate an underground market designed to avoid high taxes that might be imposed.

Rand, the Santa Monica-based nonpartisan research institute, had five prominent drug policy experts spend about six months examining what might happen to marijuana use and tax revenues if Californians approve the measure on the November ballot or the Legislature passes a bill introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D- San Francisco) that would legalize pot and impose a $50-per-ounce tax.

The report called "Altered State?" is the most scholarly examination of the issue so far. It is likely to be scrutinized and cited by both sides in the debate.

"The uncertainty and the potential chaotic nature of what could happen here just totally derails this initiative," said Roger Salazar, the spokesman for Public Safety First, one of four opposition committees that plan to fight the initiative. "Outside of the prices going down there is nothing else that is certain here and certainly not worth having the state of California become the first entity in the world to completely legalize production and sales of marijuana."

Stephen Gutwillig, the California director of the Drug Policy Alliance, said: "The current system is loaded with the certainty of mass arrest, racist enforcement and boondoggle law enforcement expenses to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars," he said.

The report noted that it was impossible to predict tax revenues from the initiative, which leaves that decision to cities and counties, but concluded that revenues from a statewide $50-per-ounce tax could range from $650 million to $1.49 billion.

To calculate the price drop, researchers looked at the cost of growing marijuana in a 1,500-square-foot house. The researchers concluded that the wages paid to employees who tend the crop would slip from as much as $25 per hour to no more than $10, just a little above what nursery laborers earn.

The report is likely to make it even harder for legalization advocates to persuade the state's growers and suppliers, particularly in the Emerald Triangle, to support the initiative. The triangle area includes Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties.

Dale Gieringer, director of the state chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, who has also looked at the issue, said the calculated price drop sounded reasonable, but he said it would not occur overnight. "It will descend slowly, is the likely scenario," he said. "If you took it out of the statute book and dealt with it like parsley, yes, it would plummet."

He acknowledged that consumption would probably increase if Proposition 19 passes, but said it is half the level it was in the late 1970s. "Fads come and go, drugs come in and out of fashion," he said. "I think we're in for a short-term increase in marijuana consumption regardless of whether the initiative passes."

Researchers also looked at estimates of the cost of enforcing marijuana laws in California, which range from $200 million to $1.9 billion, and put it at "probably less than $300 million." They also concluded that it is not possible to determine whether increased use would lead to more drugged driving accidents and to more use of harder drugs, such as cocaine, finding that the research is inconclusive.

38 dollars for an ounce, omfg people please vote smart this time around. So for once and for all we can help our state budget out and boost Cali's economy up! Plus it doesn't hurt that weed prices will be dirt cheap also hahaha.

With so much hype and media coverage over what team Lebron James will be playing for, one can only ask is it really that serious? I'm completely stunned by how much gossip and rumors one player alone has created. Why is it a single athelete commands so much interest from not only the basketball world, but media outlets everywhere? It seems to me everyone is looking to get in on the Lebron frenzy. Whatever the reason may be, one thing is fact.. LBJ is one hell of a player. Yet is he a player deserving of all this recognition? IMO no..atleast first win a ring before people are ready to sell their newborns, in return for being the 1st to break the story on what team your going to hahahaha. This just goes to show you how serious PRO SPORTS has gotten in 2010. Your own hour long special “The Decision,” live Thursday, July 8, at 9 pm ET on ESPN? Really Lebron, just to fucking announce what team you plan on playing for..smh gtfo here! I find this shit incredibly humerous and sad to a certain degree. But i'm sure Lebron and his loyal fans, who can't seem to seperate themsevles from his nuts, are eating this shit up.On another note, the Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade duo that Miami will have is going to be something to see. Damn I can't wait till the season starts!

Before I get into the post, let me start off by saying where the fuck are u knahs and russs?! Never before have I been presented with such lazy ass staff members. GET ON YOUR JOBS HOES! With that being said ....NBA 2k11 IS FUCKING BACK!!!!! The best basketball video game ever returns for it's 11th appearance. What better way of making a return than having the G.O.A.T on the cover? Damn I can't wait till this shit drops, unfortunately i'll have to do so for a couple more months :(

here's a lil background info on the cover...

We’ve known for over a month now that Michael Jordan was going to be on the cover of NBA 2K11, but we haven’t seen what that cover was going to look like. Now we have. This morning, 2K Sports revealed the official cover art for the game, featuring a highly-stylized, three-panel, iconic image of Jordan. Check it out in greater detail below. “We knew as soon as we signed Jordan that we needed to do something special for the cover,” says Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “This could possibly be the most highly anticipated cover art in the history of sports games and we think the image we came up with delivers on every front. I think fans will be pleasantly surprised at how Jordan is actually used in game, as NBA 2K11 will pay homage to ‘His Airness’ in many ways, but the cover art represented our first chance to stop and honor him along the way.” “It’s exciting to see it all come together,” says Jordan. “I am looking forward to seeing the final product, but my kids might have to give me some lessons.” NBA 2K11 will be available October 5, 2010.
