NBA no longer testing for marijuana - Should UFC follow suit?

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Thoughts?

 

[Reach4theSky]

Yes..

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Lmao they should be testing them... people arent paying them millions of dollars of their hard earned money to be drug addicts.

It’s not up to the UFC it’s up to the individual commissions.

 

[DagOban**]

Yes.

NBA is only doing this because their offseason was shortened to less than 2 months. Everyone would be popping and they can’t afford for that to happen.

Them nor USADA should be able to test for ANYTHING that isn't officially classified as a PED

Isn't marijuana, as defined by the commissions, a PED because it suppresses pain, or something along those lines? Too lazy to confirm but it that's the case, they'd maybe have to change the language before discarding it from tests.

You’re life must suck as a sheep. Seems like you’re stuck in the 50s weed has been proved it’s not a drug.

That's bs if anything I feel pain way more when I'm high as shit. I stubbed my tow last night after taking an edible and that shit was more painful than when I'm sober.

Smoke a joint, stub your pinky toe on something and tell me it hurts less. The commissions have it on the banned list because they are agencies of the US federal government, and marijuana is federally illegal.

I didn’t remotely say I agree. I’ve smoked many a joint, sherbro.

It is prescribed as an analgesic, and for its anti-anxiety properties.

Commissions are agents of state governments not federal governments and its tested for because of liability issues that would result from someone fighting while high and getting injured. The same way alcohol which is legal is also tested for.

I apologize, that was more a shot at the commisions' language than you. The second was just to make the point that it will be on their list until it's federally legal; though probably longer. Again, wasn't trying to go full Shertard at you.
