It's settled science when you have personally felt the medicinal benefits. What anyone else claims is hardly relevant at that point. Now, I do agree smoking is probably not the most healthy means of delivery, but there's also no proof smoking cannabis causes cancer the way tobacco does, so until more studies are done, we simply don't know how harmful it may or may not be yet. I get sick as a dog if I try to take opiate pain medications. I mean violently nauseous. I avoid them at all costs unless the pain is so severe I'm nauseous already. I spent 2018 with a kidney stone over 1/4" in size and all the doctors assumed my pain was coming from my back because I have 3 herniated disks and a well documented sciatic nerve history. Because of that and the fact that I'd never had a kidney stone before in my life, nobody even thought to check for one. So I suffered almost an entire year before finally passing that kidney stone naturally. Pain was my middle name in 2018. I alternated over-the-counter Motrin and Aleve during the day, and then at night before bed I would smoke some cannabis because by nighttime, the pain was always at it's peak. Just being up out of bed and walking to the bathroom and kitchen for something to eat was enough to have the pain raging by nightfall. It's all I had to work with. No way would Motrin and Aleve have gotten me through that year alone. I probably would have blown my brains out without the cannabis. The pain was beyond anything I've ever experienced in my life at times. Science be dammed. Especially since the federal government makes it extremely difficult for anyone to study the "benefits" of cannabis. They'll give grants left and right to anyone willing to study the negatives though. You can be sure of that...

There is a very strong argument to be made for the case of how much certain strains of it help with recovery. Help with an athletes recovery (by speeding it up as well as enabling gains) and you essentially make their fitness trend upward. Even the kind you smoke. By the way, most medicinal is administered by breathing it in ... someone above made a point to counter that and that is wrong.

However, with that said ... I really don't think that was the intent of Cox or other college athlete.

Was this before or after he was trying to transfer? If before, it opens a an of worms. Basically, recruiting is never done.

I like the ncaa being so lenient with waivers. It means scum like Richt 2.0 can't lie to kids any more. They can do what Cox did and transfer right out to a rival and not sit out.

I gave my dog CBD oil to help with his arthritis (was advertised that way). Worked pretty well for a week or two but he got used to it and it stopped working without increasing the amount.

People like you make your generation look bad. There are different ways and strains to smoke weed these days without even getting high and the medical benefits are irrefutable. Anyone who still thinks it should be illegal or harsh laws attached to it are barbaric knuckle draggers. End of story.

No, me either, but for people to act like cannabis is the root of all evil in this day and age is ignorance at best.

Absolutely right. Don’t agree with the rule/law? Protest, write a letter, start a campaign, whatever. But don’t jeopardize your team’s potential because you just want to. As many here have pointed out, pot’s not addictive so smoking it when you’re not supposed to is selfish/stupid. If it was addictive, at least you could blame that...
