I feel sorry for him. Probably got hooked on pain killers due to chronic injuries. This happens all the time. It is even sadder when it happens to kids.

Hopefully, Cofield will see this as his 'rock bottom' and get his act together.

I suppose it's also ok for cops to smoke pot & our active duty military as well according to some of you. So sick & tired of people making excuses for these athletes/celebrities & not holding them accountable & responsible for THEIR own damn actions! |

So sick & tired of people making excuses for these athletes/celebrities & not holding them accountable & responsible for THEIR own damn actions! 1. You would be 100% dead wrong if you thought weed was comparable to opioids. You should know what you're talking about before spewing condescending ignorance. 2. The league is looking into legalization of pot for medicinal purposes. And when NYS legalized it for medicinal use after carefully study and interviews with patients. You are in the minority, which usually includes people ignorant to the facts. 3. Drug addiction is an illness then many people suffer. You want to condemn people for what they do in their own personal lives because a group of corrupt lawmakers decided that smoking pot took too much money away from cancer causing cigarette profits... sad that so much ignorance exists.....Alcohol is waaaay more harmful than weed and THAT IS A PROVEN FACT.....SO WHY NOT BAN ALCOHOL AS WELL? War on drugs is just a war on the poor and anyone that supports that crap is not worth any more of my time.. |

I would be 100% for a world wide ban on smoking & drinking. I have never done either, so believe you me, I would love to see both those useless body & mind killing drugs done away with. But you know as well as I do, that will never happen due to the billions of $$ both products bring in. All about the Benjamins people. And I'm not ignorant of any facts that are related to MJ, I just am against drug usage of any kind, pardon me for living a clean drug free life. So sorry some of you can't.

"Can't help themselves"? Exactly what I mean about "not taking responsibility for their actions" right there in a nutshell folks.

With the exception of caffeinne and an occasional alcohol, I've never done drugs and I've certainly never smoked anything.
Nevertheless, it is sad that Barry Coffield has hit this type of rock bottom but hoperfully this wakes him up and he gets some help.
Thank God he didn't hurt or kill anyone.

So sick & tired of people making excuses for these athletes/celebrities & not holding them accountable & responsible for THEIR own damn actions! lol, wow. I know cops who drink and drive like it's part of the job description. Cannabis is less intoxicating than alcohol and less addictive than both alcohol and nicotine. You talk about people being responsible for their own lives but you're supporting a nanny-state prohibition policy that prevents people from doing exactly that. Somebody started a thread recently asking what happened to Will Hill. Will Hill would've continued to ball out and be more than productive at the elite level of his industry (NFL level) despite his regular use of cannabis. Cannabis, nor whatever dependence he had on it, negatively affected his ability to perform his job. Only the policy did. His success and indeed his freedom were infringed upon by a nanny-state control system that chooses to discriminate against certain substances while it hypocritically advertises for far more dangerous drugs (alcohol, pharmaceuticals) during commercials. Cops and soldiers smoking pot, or drinking alcohol, while on the job SHOULD of course not happen, even though it does. But what they do on their own time, as free adults in a free country, so long as they aren't harming anyone or infringing on another's freedom (which prohibition does) is their prerogative. The war-on-drugs is an immoral, impractical, unjust, unpopular, unwinnable, nanny-state, anti-liberty, anti-free-market, authoritarian-collectivist control policy that is a massive failure. Just like Alcohol Prohibition it has failed to prevent drug use and instead has created nationwide (indeed worldwide) crime syndicates, cartels, street gangs, etc. Just legalize drugs, especially cannabis which is less harmful than already legal, popular and accepted substances. P.S. - You have no right to tell me how to live my life, or what I can or cannot put into my own body. If you think you fellow Americans can be trusted to handle the responsibility of private firearms ownership (as I do) you have little justification to fear your fellow Americans having safe access to dried plant matter. |

If you are that weak willed that you're gonna get "hooked" on RX meds, that's on you, you & only YOU are solely responsible for your actions & face the consequences of those actions & not try to lay blame elsewhere. In the past decade or so, this country has created this " it's not my fault, it's so & so's fault" mindset. That's total & complete BS. |

Sure buddy. You're probably one of those that blames others for any issues you may have. Always everyone else's fault but yours.

People should worry about themselves and not what others do with their lives.
I am wary of anyone that tries to decide other people's lives for them...Those are the true fascists.

In the past decade or so, this country has created this " it's not my fault, it's so & so's fault" mindset. That's total & complete BS. Parademon1, I'm sorry, but you are being extremely ignorant here, if you believe people get addicted to prescription opioids simply because they are weak willed. Opiates are physically addictive on an extreme level. Far more addictive than alcohol, nicotine or other narcotics. They fundamentally change your metabolism, your entire body chemistry changes rapidly, and withdrawal symptoms are severe and can be life threatening. It's very obvious you have little to no medical experience, let alone experience with pharmaceuticals or addiction. Seriously, the opioid epidemic did not become so sever over a decade and a half just because people don't want to stop getting high. I know several people who had serious opiate addictions, all beginning with prescription opioids, and it took extreme will power along with help from loved ones to get off the drugs. Most of them wanted to stop for a long time, but simply could not because access to doctors who prescribe the drugs to wean you off without getting you high, is extremely restricted. Meanwhile the doctors who pump out the hardcore stuff had very few regulations, until recently. The doctors who get people off are still highly restricted unfortunately, limited by DEA to 99 patients, and most are essentially rip off artists charging far more than the service is worth, knowing their clients are the most desperate people, and they're ultimately cheaper than a heroin habit. But many of these doctors have no interest in getting you off, just keeping you on the substitutes, and the patients usually go through 2-3 doctors groups before finding a legitimate one that will truly help all the way through. P.S. - No clue why you keep talking about "blaming others" or "it's not my fault". Nobody asking you to pay for their treatment. People just want freedom to live how they want as long as they aren't hurting anyone, and if their lifestyle becomes a problem, it is indeed their responsibility to realize it is their problem. It's not the state's business, or yours. Addiction is a healthcare issue, it's not the government's job to dictate what free adult Americans can or cannot put into their own bodies. |

Must be so nice to be perfect and be able to pass judgment like that on others Yeah it's tough not to do heroin but being the perfect person I am I somehow pull it off  I doubt hardly anybody just decides, "yeah, I'll try heroin". Before Oxycontin began flooding the high schools in the late 90s-early 2000s heroin consumption in the USA was down to extreme lows in the 80s through the mid-90s. I remember when Oxys came on the scene, they were extremely cheap, and had no time release safety, so they were easily crushed and snorted. High school kids aren't exactly known for their great judgement, in case you were ever in high school Mr. Perfect. High school kids drink underage, smoke cigarettes and weed, and experiment with sex, other drugs, and lots of crazy stuff, and most of them survive just fine. Then these things come around and most think, "hey no big deal, I've done everything else they tell us not to do and I've always been fine". Problem is these Oxys are/were not like all these other drugs. This is government approved pharmaceutical heroin, period. Oxys = Heroin. Kids who got hooked on Oxys, eventually had little choice to turn to street opiates once the government started cracking down on Oxys. Heroin is much cheaper and easier to find in most east-coast cities, and eventually most addicted to pharmaceutical opiates would try Heroin, reluctantly. That's precisely how it happened for the vast majority of Heroin addicts today. Ultimately it does require the will power to get a doctor, stick with it, and get clean, but that is extremely difficult to do and I have respect for anyone who gets themselves off an opiate addiction. I have ZERO respect however, for haughty, ignorant curmudgeons who are so quick to point out the speck in another's eye before removing the log from their own. |
