So stupid to begin with. A non-addictive plant with medicinal properties--one that can improve a person's mental health, combat pain, assist recovery from injury and hardcore drugs, act as a neuroprotectant and so much more--outright banned, while the biggest PED users in the league push junk food and overpriced crap made with slave labor on children.
This changes nothing. I didn’t even know they tested for it before. Who is the last player to actually get suspended for a positive mar1juana test?
Didn't Dion Waiters get suspended 10 games for just one gummy? And I think the only reason he got caught was he went crazy after taking just that one.
A small [and belated] step in the right direction. NBA continues to be ahead of the class in terms of how they treat their players.
Sure, but just like a few drinks won't hurt, isn't it all about addiction? If you're smoking as much as you smoke cigarettes all day, every day, it's a major problem, isn't it? I can only see this benefiting our team now with Wall and Boogie and Green though
I'm not saying it can't become a problem for some or be abused if one chooses, just that possessing/benefiting from it shouldn't be a crime anymore than popping a Tylenol, Xanax, or drinking a beer should. Everything can become a problem for people, including CFs. mar1juana isn't addictive according to the research I've read. But if it were, or if "big mar1juana" were to engineer it to make it more addictive, more harmful, or market it with cartoon animals or racecars, then I would expect the government to do what they do and regulate it. As it stands, though, something completely natural that our bodies are hardwired to benefit from is illegal and stigmatized for no good reason. I'll come clean: I hadn't touched mar1juana in decades and I don't even drink, but I researched it heavily for chronic pain and as a sleep aid before trying it. It works (I take it in tincture form so I can measure it and to avoid smoking it). mar1juana doesn't define me as a person, and I'm not party to some wild mar1juana lifestyle, but if some want to celebrate it, and advocate for it, I can't fault them. I'm not sure about Wall, but Boogie would be a much nicer person high, no doubt. Green's cool AF. If mar1juana is his secret, I rest my case.
