For the sake of our collective health, any chance to rename this "P.J. Hairston Busted", just so there's no confusion w/Josh.

Good call, my bad! If he got caught with a little herb, I see this much ado about nothing but that will be for the law and Huck Hound to decide, I guess.

Or maybe "TJ Harrellson Busted"?

I understand, and can't really disagree with, the point made on the front page about pot. Smoking weed occasionally seems to be a pretty typical part of the college experience these days. Athletes are often held to a higher standard than other students on matters like that, and it's debatable whether that is always fair.

On the other hand, you just can't be driving without a license.

Curious whether P.J. will lose his invitation to the World University Games tryouts over this incident.

Yawn. This DOES mean, however, that I get to break the news to his cousin here in Greensboro, who works with me. Perhaps we can call him THC Hairston from now on?

PJ can really light it up out there...

Wait, pot's illegal where you people live?

[Devil in the Blue Dress]

The incident does raise some interesting questions. Who were the other guys (two according to one story)? Whose car? Why in that neighborhood? I know that part of Durham from my work in the schools. Easy purchases if you know who/where to ask.

I don't rejoice over this mishap. Such an incident is sad, discouraging and disappointing.

I hate when the media makes a deal out of any athlete being busted for pot. Don't Smoke Dope, Kids, You'll Wind Up Like This Guy!!!! (An elite athlete and soon to be millionaire).
However, they do need to dig in and find where the weed came from...if that herb was a gift from a booster, he's done for!!

In related news, unc alum George Karl got smoked by the Nuggets - pot is legal in Denver isn't it?

I think you should finish the story line...

An elite athlete and soon to be millionaire. And then will retire, become broke within 5 years because he spent all his money on drugs and becomes a bum.

There are only a few stars the make something of their life after sports and I don't put PJ in that group. Now had he gone to Duke and learned something, well...

I can forgive the weed. I cant forgive him for being an idiot that got caught. He deserves the heat for that.

The bold part is how I feel - also you shouldnt' be smoking weed and driving if that's what he was doing. College kids are still kids, and weed on its own hurts no one but the user. But Licenses and not being under any influence - even the lesser influence of marijuana - are important things.
