It's basically anything goes for student-athletes these days. Hey, you want cash in addition to your free four-year education worth $200K? No
problem! You wanna smoke pot before playing? No problem. Activists on the one hand and greed on the other are ruining college athletics.

No one is saying it's ok to smoke pot before a game. That's not the purpose of this proposal. Get a grip

It may not be the proposal but it will occur more often than it already does if there isn’t any testing.

So they can do what they should have a right to do anyway. Awesome.

If the NCAA drops cannabis as a banned substance, does that mean that states with legal recreational cannabis have a recruiting advantage? Did Coach Prime have something to do with this?

Who cares if they do? There have been multiple NBA and NFL players come out and say they smoked before every game. It's not like they're driving or operating machinery. They are literally playing a game.

Its not just a collegiate problem...the company I work for has stopped testing for it. Want to bet that if someone gets hurt bad that they test them anyways to protect their own rearend? The new plant manager was just caught hitting a thc vape inside breakroom. The employee that caught him was told if they say anything they will be fired. Lawlessness and its only going to get worse.

Hate my phone

 

[thehardknoxlife]

I'm for it. Heck, I think they should allow HGH too. It's entertainment, ruin your body with drugs and entertain us. I wanna see sub 3 second 40s and 60 inch verts.

Cowards, but we knew that.

This helps Colorado

Not as much as Tennessee's no state tax. Colorado will suck anyway.

Why does everyone seem to think weed is super duper important to football players? It's really not.

Not trying to be argumentative, but really wondering, then why do they need it?

Ummm, like let me get back to you on this dude....

Ok, good point, but I'm not certain I would want my QB to have a buzz during a game

Rasheed Wallace schooled many great players while he was stoned out of his mind. Bill Walton too.

Who says they do? In your mind do all athletes smoke weed? Most football players are fitness freaks and don't do recreational drugs regularly. People treat weed like a religion, it's so weird.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

If we're being 100% honest when is the last time a UT player was banned for a failed drug test due to weed?

Just my personal opinion and experience, but if you need pain management then weed is the way better option. Opioid dependency is the devil and it’s ruined a lot of our lives, family, and community. I would recommend thc over pain medication any day.

Lol. Weed is definitely not a pain med. That's like a pothead answer. It might help with a headache but not serious pain.

You are are totally wrong brother. I know personally and know a lot of people who think so too.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Lot of businesses stopped testing for weed after covid in order to hire someone.
Also some will test preemployment and won't test you again unless you have an accident that causes damage.
Not really a fan of piss drug test. Guy can hit a line of coke Friday night after work and more than likely will pass the urine test. Guy smokes a joint Friday night and will likely fell their test.
Even worse are the pill poppers that basically get a free pass because they have an Rx.
