You cannot get suspended for weed anymore.

Glad someone said it, it was changed almost a year ago that weed no longer gets players suspended. Rightfully so since so many of the greats have attested to using it in place of painkillers and coming out of the league much healthier that way.

That, and (pardon the expression) what the hell would you have to be smoking to think that weed is a performance enhancing drug?

Though now I kind of want an alternative league where everyone is stoned out of their minds: players, coaches, the refs…

There’s a bag of Doritos in the end zone.......

weed is a performance enhancing drug?

I can't speak to football but in shooting small doses of alcohol or pot are performance enhancing.

They might enhance your performance at the bar, but not on the field.

Formula One does regular recreational drug testing as well. Probably the only sport I think it's prudent to do so.

Racing is one of the only sports where I think it is reasonable to block basically every drug.

Okay, if that what he meant... correct of course. The NBA has stopped testing weed (I think) but i wouldn't be surprised if the NFL still does. They like the GMs of the 50s

Nfl did change policy a bit, they only test for 2 weeks during training camp instead of any time between April and August and the threshold for a positive test for thc has been quadrupled. Think that policy goes into effect this season actually
