Michael Vick tests positive for marijuana

A federal judge has tightened the leash around Michael Vick yesterday after the beleaguered quarterback tested positive for marijuana earlier this month.
One day after Vick was indicted by the state of Virginia on two dogfighting charges, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson ordered Vick to home confinement with an electric monitor at night among other things after he violated specific conditions of his federal plea bargain release by failing a drug test. Now Vick is restricted to his Virginia home from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. He must submit to random drug testing that could include wearing a "sweat patch." And the quarterback must participate in a substance therapy program and mental health counseling.
Vick's failed test could factor into Hudson's ruling when he sentences the quarterback on Dec. 10 in court in Richmond. Hudson, who has a reputation for being a no-nonsense type of judge, can sentence Vick to up to five years in prison for pleading guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges.
Vick tested positive when he submitted a urine sample on Sept. 13, just 18 days after he stood in a court room before Hudson and agreed to abide by release terms such as "no criminal activity and drug activity" when he plead guilty to federal charges. Hudson made it explicitly clear that Vick was to follow these terms. According to his plea agreement, Vick must cooperate fully with federal authorities.
Vick may also face additional jail time after he and three co-defendants were indicted on dogfighting-related charges in Surry County, Va. The quarterback could face up to a maximum of five years in prison for each of the state charges.
Vick is currently suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell will likely wait until after Vick is sentenced before determining the length of his suspension which Vick will likely serve after any time done in prison.

No love for this guy.
Although there could be a defense as what does marijuana have to do with anything?, I believe that this is just taking away one incredibly important comfort to any human being that enjoys cannabis. He deserves alot more than a year of boredom.

I kind of like that the most exciting athlete of the last 5 years is a pothead. I think it takes away a little of the 'potheads are nothing but unproductive and lazy' stigma.

I really don't think Micheal Vick is a positive example of the cannabis culture.

Hes not a positive example of any culture. But Vick was basically superman on the football field. One of the most mind blowing athletes of the last 5 years and surely worked his ass off to get there. And hes a pothead. Its kind of like when you hear about a mayor snorting coke or something. A very successfully individual, who became very successfull while on drugs. Hopefully swaying some peoples outlook on drugs.

That's fucked that a non-related failure of a drug test can be factored into his sentencing....

The implications of this story are obvious:
You smoke the dope, you strangle and drown dogs.
I mean, it is like proven and stuff.

Ahhh, yes. When you put it that way, it makes more sense.
