He knew the risks.   Whether pot should or shouldn't be illegal, is not the issue.   It is illegal to use.   Therefore, he was not too serious about being in competition or is addicted and can't stop.  Either way it is a problem.

no one is addicted to marijuana...

not anymore than anyone is addicted to cheeseburgers anyway...

but the point is concrete...

the rules are the rules no matter what your own personal feelings may or may not be...

want to compete then follow them...

Marijuana use disorders are often associated with dependence—in which a person feels withdrawal symptoms when not taking the drug. People who use marijuana frequently often report irritability, mood and sleep difficulties, decreased appetite, cravings, restlessness, and/or various forms of physical discomfort that peak within the first week after quitting and last up to 2 weeks.20,21 Marijuana dependence occurs when the brain adapts to large amounts of the drug by reducing production of and sensitivity to its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters.

https://www.cdc.gov/marijuana/health-effects/addiction.html

Some people who use marijuana will develop marijuana use disorder, meaning that they are unable to stop using marijuana even though it’s causing health and social problems in their lives.

  • One study estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use disorder.1
  • Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2
  • The risk of developing marijuana use disorder is greater in people who start using marijuana during youth or adolescence and who use marijuana more frequently.3

Say again?

I disagree with your first two points.   Agree with your last 3 points.

no one becomes physically addicted to marijuana...

"use disorder" is a an example of a buzz word created to alleviate responsibility...

 

i really like my morning spicy noodles... same breakfast every morning... when i run out or can't get it i get annoyed and unhappy and edgy and sometimes i get a real grumpy look on my face for the rest of the day...

am i addicted to ramen?

Marijuana use can lead to the development of problem use, known as a marijuana use disorder, which takes the form of addiction in severe cases.

 

no one has to take responsibility for anything anymore...

Would you say the same for a heroin addict or fentanyl addict?   They have a use disorder that takes the form of addiction.  Granted pot is not as addictive as those other two, but addiction is dependence and dependence is addiction.  When you are dependent, you are physically addicted.   Yes you are responsible for it but it is addiction just the same.

I'd compare pot to caffeine in terms of addiction persistence.

Unpleasant to stop using, but nowhere near strong opiates.
Not in the same universe.

absolutely not... 

opiates are actually physically addictive...

marijuana is not physically addictive...

just because you are obese and weak and don't want to stop eating cheeseburgers does not mean you are addicted to cheeseburgers... it means you like cheeseburgers more than you want to stop eating them...

it is an excuse mentality and is everywhere in this society...

caffeine can cause a mild physical dependency...

marijuana does not have any physically addictive properties...

that is just the reality...

all the "safe speak" in the world will not change that...

i can feel this is just going to delve further into semantics territory and i really do not have any real desire to continue down that path...

JO was silly...

he did not need to get high at trials...

he did...

that's on him...

personally i have mixed feelings on whether or not cannabis should be tested for at all... most professional leagues have it written in their CBA agreements to absolutely not test for marijuana and for what i perceive as a very legitimate reason...

if all sports went in that direction it would not bother me in the least...

Or he did it because he has dependence on it.   that is on him, just like being addicted to anything is on the individual. 

You both can debate how powerful of an addiction it might be, but pot can cause dependence which is addiction which I demonstrated above.   This all started with Oliver being censured for pot again.   He can't quit it appears.   So I suggested he either doesn't care or is addicted.   If he is addicted, he feels he can't quit.   Or if he is addicted, he doesn't really care.   Take your pick.   But to use prior to a tourney means something.   It is not meaningless. 

Essentially what you are saying is I shouldn't believe CDC or NIDA.   They both say the same thing as I demonstrated.   Am I to believe you or CDC and NIDA in the realm of addiction and effects of pot?  My gut tells me to go with CDC and NIDA.   Sorry guys.

JO popped for an amphetamine the first time...

as to the rest...

again...

whatever...

i could go into a big diatribe as to why the language has changed over time and the forces behind that, but, what's the point?

as long as we have our "safe speak" and personal accountability is always on a sliding scale then i guess some are happy...

Weed is not addictive. However, the desire to feel non-sober can be addictive.

JO should not be suspended for smoking weed. If anything, it harmed his performance. That’s on him and was his choice. I also support that these are the rules of WADA and though outdated, they are still the rules that everyone knows.

Anyways, what exactly did Chamizo pop for? I have to think it was something less fun than the devil’s lettuce…

3 months is the shortest suspension i have ever personally heard of...

i did not even know 3 months was an option for suspension...

clearly he was able to show in some fashion that he did not "knowingly" take something...

i am sure there is logical rational behind a one month suspension...

just kinda hard to see it from my perspective...
