This will damage Texas and the Pac12 players brains, further exasperating their underperformance on the field.https://www.marijuanamoment.net/nca... that are part,recommended by a key committee.
NCAA lowers WEED testing standards

I'm never ok with anything enabling young people when it comes to drugs.
NCAA can do what they want however.

drugs can produce enjoyable experiences
drugs are like religion, there are pros and cons
If you're going to do whatever you can to keep players eligible despite positive tests, just quit testing and treat it like alcohol abuse. Only address it if it's a "problem".
I really don't care either way, but rules with no real enforcement are rules that don't need to exist.

no they are not mind altering substance. addictive to a degree but not mind altering
they excite neurons and produce euphoria/dopamine release.
I have no problem with mind altering substances. They can be beneficial and productive if used correctly. It is healthy to see the world from a different angle every now and then. Straight edge seems kinda boring.

caffeine and nicotine are indeed psychoactive/mind altering. So much so that caffeine cessation is a mental disorder.
I don't know, some people can become pretty irritable and grouchy if they haven't had their morning coffee or a cigarette.
I workout a lot and take pre-workout before... if I go over 24 hours without at least half the value of that scoop I start to get really bad headaches and notice cold like symptoms. Do I need to tone it down and ease off of it? Yes but that's besides the point. Point is that caffeine, sugar, whatever addiction is very real and anyone saying otherwise is in denial or ignorant.Caffeine addiction is interesting. We have made it into an acceptable addiction where we joke about it as if it is normal behavior. Probably due to most people being caffeine junkies.
Not to be technical, but saying "the Ukraine" is like saying, "the America". It is Ukraine...or America. Now, if you were willing to experiment with mind altering drugs, such a caffeine for instance, you'd pick up on little details like that. Just have to tease...my son who is married to a Ukrainian girl had to correct me as well.
how about THE United States of America? sure not an english expert here in any sense of the word
Dont have a problem with this. Whether you're pro, anti or in between. It's not going to significantly change how many players smoke and how often.
As long as the players are meeting their school and football requirements it shouldn't matter what they do in their free-time.
If we have players with Marijuana addiction issues on the team, they usually weed themselves out anyway(pun intended)without some rule to kick them out.

Shouldn't even be managed by the NCAA. It's not a performance enhancing substance. I'd rather have an athlete take some THC at the end of the day instead of an opiate or any other narcotic. Should be team policy and not NCAA.
Tobacco and caffeine don't cause cognitive impairment like alcohol and recreational drugs. I've had many intense work related "all-nighters" that were fueled by coffee and cigarettes - you certainly couldn't do that with booze.
