The NFL just needs to drop marijuana has a banned substance already and be done with it. Who cares?

And  if  they did, it would still be a foolish move to post a video of it.  Or to let someone take a video of you  smoking it.  

 

I believe it should be legal, I also believe people today put way to much information in Social Media.  Public figures especially should be careful about what gets posted.

Depends on the employer and even then most only do pre-employment testing unless you're an agency such as the DOT or FAA require periodic testing.

I never like relying on the blanket "well, those guys do it too" reasoning to justify things.

Yet prescription drugs and alcohol a plenty!

Nobody cares but old conservatives. Most companies don’t even drug test anymore. It’s dumb. Cigarettes and Alcohol are a much bigger problem. Tired of this oooooo insert name here was smoking marijuana.

Nahhh I work for a pretty good company and we don’t drug test. But we’re you know forward thinking.

Bingo.

Plus by all accounts, the NFL's testing procedures aren't exactly difficult to beat.

Although it certainly isn't the intent, the league's drug testing program has a way of showing who has poor judgment or, in some cases, just isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

If you allow yourself to be filmed doing something that's a) illegal and b) can get you in a lot of trouble with your employer, especially today in the age of social media, I'm going to go ahead and say you probably aren't exactly a genius.

Weed is only illegal depending on where you are. Plenty of places where is perfectly legal. Hell I use a delivery service.

And as a private organization they have the right to put it on their list. That right is much more important than anyone’s opinion of marijuana. One day hopefully you guys will understand that.

Whether it’s legal or not is the argument everyone can debate.

Until weed is legal in every state, the NFL will continue banning them.

That's not what I'm saying. I don't think anyone is actually saying that. So calm down before you get all bent out of shape and start quoting the Constitution and poo over something that no one is actually arguing.

What I'm saying is that it's pointless to be hitting players with suspensions that benefit no one due to testing positive for marijuana. If the NFL wants to continue to shoot themselves in the dick on this one, that's on them.

They likely have no issues with cramming your throat with highly addictive and dangerous opioids.
