OPEN THREAD - WEED


Major League Baseball has decided to eliminate testing for maryjane and concentrate on blow and opiods.

Does this make sense to you?


I am an old head and I can tell you this... if I smoked a primo joint back in the day I still was in no shape an hour later to play quality third base. I was so paranoid that I would think that the ball being hit in my direction was trying to kill me.


Speaking in weed talk, what's your spin on this dude?

They'll have better luck hitting high pitches.

Haven't touched weed since a brief time as a teen - made me sleepy and unable to drive. Not sure how that helps playing baseball. Guys will have to figure that out, or have short careers.

But I am happy they no longer will suspend them for 50 games for it. Maybe 10 games would have still been a worthwhile weed penalty.

Weed made me fat and lazy in college.......damn Doritos!

I can't see anyone playing a competitive sport effectively if they are also using Marijuana regularly, but I am also not a world class athlete, so what do I know?

From my perspective, it is a bad idea.

Same as alcohol.

No one is saying that players should get bombed on booze before a game. But it's accepted that some might enjoy a few drinks here and there.

With decriminalization and legalization of pot, it's time for the double-standard to die.
