Quote:Let's put this in context...

Ace Sanders is employed by an organization that does not allow the use of an illegal substance (marijuana).

Ace Sanders knew the use of this illegal substance would have negative repercussions for him, yet he continued using it.

Even after having been caught once by the league and warned, he continued using it.

Ace Sanders knew that the team is trying to climb out of the cellar and needed his help, but continued using the illegal substance anyway.

 

This is called a psychological addiction, as opposed to the physiological addiction you reference marijuana in. Here is the results of marijuana use; an otherwise promising career (worth millions) might very well be over before it even had a chance to develop. Think about that...

 

Kind of ignorant when you consider that all of those negative consequences are imposed by society rather than an effect of the actual use of the substance.  Your line of thinking is exactly why marijuana and similar drugs that could actually be used medicinally continue to remain schedule 1 drugs here in the good ol' USA (and thus can't even be researched), while other progressive countries are using them for all kind of illnesses and pains.  Luckily the few states that have legalized are seeing such huge tax income, as well as reduction in violent drug crimes, and many other benefits from it that states that aren't completely ignorant will not be far behind.
