[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 709060"] "If the guy...needed to take a hit before having to go on an island against Megatron for 60 minutes then more power to him." I doubt that ever happened. Pot is not used as a performance enhancer. Anybody who's ever smoked pot (a good 40 years in my past) would tell you that. Further, while there is certainly some percentage of players who are pot heads, daily smokers will get caught in a drug test sooner or later. Here's the deal. ESPN the Magazine did a anonymous poll of about 250 NFL players, according to which the players said 40% of their peers were regular users of prescription painkillers. That's opioids. The players estimated 50% of their peers use marijuana. Many players reported better pain relief from pot than the opiods. Which would you use for pain relief if you figured out how not to get caught smoking, knowing that opioids are far more dangerous? For most, pot is a Sunday night - Monday drug to get get past the pain and ready for Tuesday practice. [/QUOTE]
