26CornerBlitz Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 negative. Pot is still illegal under federal law. Employers have no obligation to permit its use. It's been litigated already. But good thought. What would PIT get in return though from Denver. ? Peyton Manning's spleen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good thought. What would PIT get in return though from Denver. ? Can't the NFL ban it even if it is legal? What is the rule on this in Colorado? Can any employer still make tests mandatory, and make testing positive a fireable offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for what it's worth, pot will likely be removed from tested substances soon. The players will just have to negotiate it and probably give in on other PED testing.

3rdand12 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Why would anyone want to miss the drug test ? They should have asked me. I would have been on time and ready to test any and all recreational drugs. amateurs. geez Edited July 22, 2016 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I wonder, if the Steelers trade him to the Broncos...and pot is legal in Colorado......would he then have grounds to challenge the NFL rule about being a pothead/stoner? I guess we can leave that to a current member of the Bronco's roster.......... Unfair to the Seahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Can't the NFL ban it even if it is legal? What is the rule on this in Colorado? Can any employer still make tests mandatory, and make testing positive a fireable offense? They can ban whatever they want. Most of the list of banned substances are legally obtained in this country.

machine gun kelly Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Exactly Ryan. For example, our sales reps in CO cannot smoke weed and work at our company and we drug test. It doesn't matter the State law, because first there is a federal law against it, and second, the NFL is his employer and are legally able to enforce their policies. Nothing will change until the Feds change the law legalizing marijuana which won't happen. It will keep going state by state possibly a change in medical marijuana, but that is going to take years. The sad thing is they are only tested if not in the program typically once to twice a year usually in the Spring. These idiots don't know it stays in your hair for about 35 days. If they simply cleaned up every spring during March and April until maybe tested in May, they'd never get caught. Once you fail a test they can test you 10x / mo. I really don't care if they smoke weed, as long as they are not driving, but it's not for me. If he was suspended, he already failed to take a previous test or failed it. It's too bad as he is a dynamic player and the Steelers need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Does the NFL do the hair testing ? I would be surprised if they did. I do not think they really want to for the mary janes. But gaining an unfair advantage with PEDs and adderal and such should be frowned severely on. as i consider it cheating the honest players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrivefourfive Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 This pisses me off. I have pick #3 in my big Fantasy draft, and was sure Bell would go before my pick and a WR I want would drop a spot to me. Now, no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are set on a wr then obj, Antonio brown, and Julio will guarantee you a stud at the position no matter who goes before you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
