no, there is no logic in it&#8230 only that&#8217s it&#8217s illegal. to list it among performance enhancing drugs is to call attention to their ignorance and unibrow way of thinking. this just says they want guys to do steriods, the fine and suspension are just about the same and you&#8217ll be right back in the ring and they&#8217ll give u a title shot, if your really cheating.

also, to think if they are smoking pot they are more likely to do more, well that&#8217s absurd and not logical.

i could go on and on about the health issues between weed, alchol and steriods&#8230 but i got poker to play so i&#8217ll just say, Robert Parish played around 20 plus years in the nba and he smoked an ounce a month at least and was never hurt&#8230. yet wait i said i wasn&#8217t gonna get in to it&#8230 later.

I think the logic is that if the guy is willing to abuse his body and use an illegal substance, what other drug is he willing to do? We may not agree with it, but there is a certain logic to it. Plus, I doubt the CSAC or the UFC want their fighters making the news because they got popped by the police for possession after a fight.

i agree ... the fact that weed is a banned substance is amazing. when vick tested positive, jim rome was saying he should just go get drunk if he needs to unwind&#8230. what a joke. yeah, go get addicted to alchol, cuz it&#8217s harmless, just ask evan tanner if u can find him.

people say weed is the gateway drug and all this other stuff are so full it, they have to be drunk to say those things.

beer is the real gateway&#8230 think about&#8230 your first buzz; was it from weed or beer or some other alchol?? i imagine about 90% will say some form of alchol. but that should be posted another site i guess lol.
