Marijuana and NCAA Football

[Rooster Hogburn]

Will the legalization of Marijuana in Colorado & Washington create an unfair recruiting advantage for Universities in each respective state?

Does the NCAA have rules against cigarette smoking D1 athletes? If not, would it be unconstitutional to regulate other legal smokables?

[McHogLovin]

Players that are picking schools so they can get their smoke on are dumb.  Smoke in your own home and don't advertise it and these guys will have no problem at almost any school.  Mallett and McFadden used no discretion at all and it wasn't spoke on til after they were gone. 

[Drewhog]

In order to smoke it legally in Washington and Colorado, a person still must be over 21 years old.  Therefore, it would still be illegal for most student athletes to use recreationally.

[Tortfeasor]

Let's wait and see what SCOTUS says about the legalization issue.  They will hear arguments soon.

[Kicking Wing]

Also, the NCAA still considers it to be against the rules and will test.  Legalization doesn't change that.

[LSUFan]

Smoking weed while playing Fotball impacts spelling.

[jtaylor2d]

I highly doubt it cause it's still federally legal. Well kind of I should say. The US Government does produce their own cannabis and there are about 6 people in the US who receive this cannabis on a monthly basis, but they are the only ones.

Hahahaha!!!! Awesome.

[Eddie Goodson]

The NCAA can outlaw drinking fruit punch if it wants to do it. Makes zero difference if smoking weed is legal in those states or not. If a player doesn't like it they can go to an NAIA school. The NCAA can make its own rules.

[arkansastrack]

This is an absurd question. The NCAA banned substance list is crazy long and includes things such as caffeine, diuretics and stimulants as well as illicit recreational drugs. If you have ADHD and are on adderall it takes an act of congress to continue to take it while competing. Heck albuterol is even prohibited/restricted.

As someone else said if they want to make fruit punch illegal they can. The LAW has nothing to do with the NCAA.

Here is the list for those interested.

The NCAA may mandate more testing and stricter rules for the states that legalized it, just to compensate for it being legal.  So now a recruit could see it the other way.  They could go to any of the other 48 schools and get away with it like I'm sure a lot of the atheletes do already.

Horticulture will replace African American studies as the hideaway curriculum for student athletes in Colorado & Washington.

I would attend. Are tickets on sale now?

[Veritas Arkansas]

They already have ruled on this issue (Ashcroft v. Raiche).  Any state law that allows marijuana doesn't negate federal law that doesn't.

So they state's might not come after you.  But the Feds still could.  And that's true of anyone that's buying/selling/growing/using marijuana in places that have legalized it.

Wait a second I just have to ask: is this a put on or a legitimate question? If it's a serious post then excuse me for saying it but you need to be far more lucid before you hit the "send" button next time.

[Arthur pigby sellers.]

But players Know they will be able to get some killer bud in those states so it probably helps a little.

This. The NCAA has already made its stance public on this issue. Its against NCAA rules, so it is a non-issue.

[Rooster Hogburn]

A university that starts a marijuana horticulture program will be able to prepare inner city football players for life after college. These young men will graduate with a practical skill set to ensure a decent quality of life after graduation. This alone will create an unfair recruiting advantage.

Guess which school has the largest medical marijuana production program in the country.

Johns Hopkins?

Johns Hopkins?

I seem to remember it is none other than Ole Miss.

Life is so gay sometimes. It's just some weed. Oh but my doctor can prescribe dangerous and addictive opiate derivatives and amphetamine allouges that cause irreversible heart damage and enlargement of the heart arteries. Cool. But if you get caught packing a bowl you're a criminal

That would explain that goofy-a$$ black bear

It explains so much for sure.

Fact.

[Rooster Hogburn]

That blows my recruiting advantage theory completely out of the water

[Cave City Joe]

It has to help recruiting.  Schools will make a fortune off of concessions and will be able to buy any player they want.

So true. I've seen that stuff ruin people's lives, it's pretty horrible. Times are changing though, don't sweat it. Sooner or later we'll need the the tax money off of weed to fund all these ridiculous handouts.

To get the humor you really need to see my facial expressions and hand gestures.

BTW, are you trying to imply that there is no room for laughs when the nation is in the midst of "The Great Marijuana Debate."
