he was shut done for the season, though, so what does this even do?

I think it will be the next time he's active, so the first five games of next season.

Astonishing to me that a positive test for Marijuana holds a harsher suspension than a DUI.

He's such a dumbass.

I saw that he just said that he stood his ground and spoke out about how he believes in it, and was mature about accepting the consequences.
 
He has a valid point though.

“It’s something I feel strongly about, just to let you know something personal about me,” the 6-foot-11 player told NBA.com and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel prior to the Bucks’ game against Chicago at United Center Friday. “I will deal with the consequences from it. It’s a banned substance in my league. But I believe in marijuana and the medical side of it.

“I know what it is if I’m going to use it. I study it and I know the benefits it has. In a lot of ways we’ve been deprived. You can’t really label it with so many other drugs that people can be addicted to and have so many negative effects on your body and your family and your relationships and impairment. This is not the same thing.” …

“The stigma is that it’s illegal. I hate that,” Sanders said. “Once this becomes legal, this all will go away.”
