Mr. WEO Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Have no fear Roger.... we know you will go off on your own to make assinine judge, jury and executioner decisions.... Drug and PED suspensions are pretty much on an agreed upon schedule, so not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading that the current test in use had a very short window of catching anyone, if I understand correctly this one has a much bigger window and actually may lead to some suspensions if guys have continued to use.

May Day 10 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 the league brings it on themselves with this one. Randomly test for Marijuana on game days and make sure guys aren't playing stoned. Other than that, out of sight, out of mind. Don't need the bad press, need players like Dareus, Bell, Gordon, etc playing more. The majority of Americans would applaud the move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stays in your system for weeks even after you come down from the high. That said no player in his right mind plays high. You simply can't. MJ is for after the game when you need to wind down and reduce inflammation. Did this new agreement say anything about pot, like taking it off the test and suspension list?

26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 @sn_nfl NFL's ban on synthetic marijuana 'quite pathetic,' if you ask Kyle Turley http://dlvr.it/MPwQRd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Legal weed referendums in 6 states are leading in polls now, which will eventually include 8 NFL franchises. A quarter of the league. It's time for the league to drop it from the banned list. Edited October 7, 2016 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 @sn_nfl NFL's ban on synthetic marijuana 'quite pathetic,' if you ask Kyle Turley http://dlvr.it/MPwQRd “I don't know what prompted (Jones) to use that but I'm pretty sure nobody else does (in the NFL)," Turley said. "Furthermore, it's quite sad that the NFL has pushed players to say, 'You know what? I'll try this synthetic marijuana because I've got to get off this other marijuana because I don't want to test positive for that.' So.....Turley doesn't know why players would use it. In fact, he's sure no one is using it. But the NFL is "pushing" players to use it as an alternative to weed. CTE, man....it's real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ is for after the game when you need to wind down and reduce inflammation. Did this new agreement say anything about pot, like taking it off the test and suspension list? They should adopt IOC/WADA/USADA rules. So you can smoke all the pot you want. Hell, I know athletes who had USADA knock on their door days after smoking. You can test positive out of competition all you want. Take the test with a joint in your hand. No big deal. But you absolutely cannot test positive for weed in competition. So smoke all you want, but gotta test clean at the World Champs or Olympics. I also like the idea of mandatory testing if you win your event/championship, with random testing through the season. So you win the superbowl, great!!! Nobody leaves the facility without being tested on the roster. Positive test and you're disqualified. It is how most sports testing is done.
