Is MJ a "performance enhancing drug?"

[Vic]

I did address people's point by correcting their false statements. Federal laws apply regardless of what States do. Just because Biden or Garland decided to not prosecute them doesnt make it not a crime.

Biden and Garland can't prosecute these cases anymore than Trump and Barr (or Sessions) could. Seems pretty ironic that you're trying to play the "law and order' card without knowing anything about the law.

Repeat after me: no mens rea. Google it if you don't know what it means.

It actually is the anti-doping agencies job to police recreational drug use. I dont want some 2bit criminal representing America on the world stage.

Love when garbage fascists make themselves so easy to spot. Bonus points when they’re calling someone with far more talent than they’ll ever have at anything “two bit criminals” lol.

No false statement was made until you piped in, clown.

Says the small gov. conservative? Apparently only when it allows you to lock up "pot heads". Gimme a break, troll.

Hahahahahaha.

Fuck off.

 

[dank69]

Is this a serious reply? 🙄 ... Don't be ridiculous .. "the 2bit criminal" would never make it to the trials.

Of course he's seriously that stupid. Pretending like character matters in the Olympics, or even that he gives a single shit about anyone's character unless it's used to assassinate a liberal.

You didn't answer shit. How the fuck do you get a 2bit criminal from testing positive for MJ?

Answer that you asshole.

At this point if you think someone is a two bit criminal for smoking some weed you are just a net negative on our society. I'm sure it doesn't help her case to this right wing fascists that she is black.

Richardson "successfully completed a counseling program regarding her use of cannabis," which under USADA rules knocks her ineligibility down to one month.

LOL @ that. What sort of "counseling" would that be? "Our grandparents think that marijuana is bad, therefore you shouldn't use marijuana. Oh, and also some guy named 'Matt' on the internet."

 

[Pohemi]

I'm sure it doesn't help her case to this right wing fascists that she is black.

He would likely call Phelps a 'criminal' just as quickly, but it doesn't matter either way.

His responses (along with his thoughts, opinions, principles, etc) change on the fly depending on the subject, and how oppositionary and/or "offensive to libs" he can be.

He's a troll, and nothing informed will come from him.

 

[Stokely]

"performance enhancing", hardly. Probably the opposite.

MJ laws are stupid.

It's also stupid to toke up before the biggest race of your life knowing the stupid rules and laws exist. So in this case there's plenty of stupid to go around.

As far as someone being a criminal--I'd hazard a guess that far, far more people around each of us have imbibed or do imbibe than most people realize. For someone who thinks it's only for criminals---they just won't let on to you, because you are an uptight moron of the type that brought us alcohol prohibition a century ago. And just like those times, it not only doesn't work, it rewards the true criminals (who bring it in illegally) and punishes the working class and poor (which of course is part of the goal, see also reefer madness.) Ah and don't forget the private prison industry, they LOVE drug laws.

Companies that drug test can piss up a rope too. I'm looking for a job, but because I already have one I can be more picky. I haven't smoked in almost 30 years but I object to the principle of the thing, and don't apply anywhere that drug tests. It's the sign of a shitty corporate culture. Punish people for their words and actions AT WORK, not for what they do at home.

She's only 5'1?
She runs the 100m in how long?
Holy...f'n...crap

The criminal part is this:

House Passes Bill To Decriminalize Marijuana For Federal Purposes

While still prohibited by federal law (possession can lead to fines and jail time), today, forty-four states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana for either medical or recreational use.

www.forbes.com

Under federal law, marijuana is still classed as a Schedule I drug – on par with heroin, LSD, and ecstasy – which means that it is not legal in any form. It is against federal law to grow, sell, or use marijuana for any purpose, including medical purposes.

2bit describes that nature of her crime. Using mj isn't a serious crime like murder or sedition, or god forbid, selling it at scale.

But you are just fine with a tweaked out on Adderall word salad speaking lying narcissist wacko...hell you sit in the front rows of his shows just hoping against all hope that maybe this time you'll get to suck on his tiny mushroom shaped pecker!

Fuck right off with your phony conservitard cowardly commentary rife with nothing but BS and propagandized garbage!

I voted for Clinton and biden.

 

[mindless1]

MJ isn't performance enhancing but she might have been using it to calm down after performance enhancing stimulants, or 'roids during training.

I have no sympathy, she should have known better and yes, rules are rules. You want to use MJ? Accept the consequences.

To even think of a post like this, let alone actually post it, means there is something very wrong with you, not everyone else.

I mean, using substances to cope with the death of a loved one is a bad habit. At best, its self medicating, and at worse a sign of a terrible addiction.

 

[IronWing]

There are terrible additions (alcohol, heroin, country music) and there are like whatever addictions like caffeine and Fritos. Pot falls into the second category.

 

[balloonshark]

If I had to perform at the highest level in my profession in front of thousands of people while being broadcast into millions of homes and then have a reporter tell me that my biological mother just died I might just take a puff or two to chill out. Hard to judge someone when I'll never be in that situation.

Are we going to ban bubbleheads from television for shooting botox, a nerve poison?

So I am SURE you would agree with me that since AFAIK all employers, ya know the corporate kind, the LLC kind the not small mom and pop kind, require pre employment drug screening, that all of our elected officials should also be able to pass drug tests before being sworn into office and at random times afterwards?

 

[zinfamous]

It could definitely help with post-competition pain and recovery, and so maybe people might argue that it helps athletes "recover faster," (same has how nothing that Bonds or McGuire ever swallowed or injected could ever in any way make them specifically hit a homerun instead of a double, they did allow for better recovery, and thus more games played throughout a season than they otherwise could have).

....but all that being said, these people are routinely allowed insane cortisol injections and fucking oxycontin and all manner of fucking up poison, so there is fundamentally no fucking logical reason that such a double standard should exist. it's absurd.

If a doctor and a pharmco made money = good drug.
If not = bad drug.

Voters should be able to elect a junkie to congress if they so desire. I'm not against forcing them to take a drug test, but whether they pass or fail should have no bearing on their continued service.

Wait a minute.

You realize you just applied a double standard right?

Everyone middle class and lower are forced to prove sobriety to be employed. But elect someone to a position of running the country, state, county or city is "meh" why should it matter?

Then why the outrage at a sports figure? Amateur at best?

 

[DaaQ]

Ya know cause MJ is a Class 1 Narcotic Federally, so why should an elected position get a pass, even tho they right now have to pass nothing?
