Why does the NCAA ban "illegal" substances?? Oh, I dunno. Maybe they don't want illegal activity in their organization? Just a guess.
So, do they then not test for these substances in states where they are legal? Yes, they do. So, the fact that they are illegal can not be the driving force. I am looking for their legal justification, not just "because the NCAA says so"

A student's standing in the NCAA is not a right, it is a privilege. Follow their rules or GTFO. I am not sure how this keeps getting past you.

It's a schedule 1 substance under Federal Law. I'm as big of a proponent for full legalization as there is, but that's where we are now.

An organization can have a more restrictive drug policy than what is allowed by law. Here in Colorado there are plenty of companies that prohibit marijuana use even though it's legal here. Also, even though it's legal in the eyes of the state, it's still illegal in the eyes of the federal government.
