Rehab is often used as a way to convince a ruling body that the player should not receive as harsh of consequences. It’s a good thing.

I just knew there was going to be a GIF of Michael Scott taking Meredith to rehab.

I don’t think you go to rehab for weed....
Most don't but in my line of the work, the Court can and will order people to rehab for weed. There is still a mental competent to addiction as it pertains to weed just like people are addicted to numerous other behaviors. Hell, people go to "rehab" for sex addictions and you don't think people could have any sort of addiction to weed? I smoked plenty in my youth fwiw, I just am fortunate I don't have an addictive personality, but all people aren't wired the same.

You sound like a tool bag. Tell me you never had a drink before you were 21. That’s what I thought, shut the frick up.
And Alcohol kills people, weed benefits people, guess which one is taxed by the government?
And us “morons” have to deal with people like you on this earth. frick us.

It doesn't matter whether a player (or the public) agrees with a rule. The players know the rules and they chose to break them. As long as rules are written the way they are, they should be followed. Bottom line. Now if you want to have a conversation about whether the rules should be changed, then there is certainly a rational argument that weed shouldn't be illegal nor tested by the NCAA/schools. However, the responsibility falls on the players to follow the rules in place. They know them an the consequences for breaking them. It is not an affirmative defense for breaking a rule to say "well, the rule is stupid."

On top of that, it looks much worse if LSU becomes lenient and arrests over marijuana increase because more players are using. LSU is protecting them. From the law, from the nfl, from their future.
I think they are doing just fine as is. I don’t really care what Bama is doing. Sometimes it’s bigger than just football. They players have to have some sort of accountability.

Exactly.
So the coach cares about his players and takes them to get help and we pretend this is a bad thing?

That and fans keep pretending to know how Saban deals with failed drug tests. LSU fans don’t even know how their own school handles it lol. A large subset of fans think Divinity has mental issues.
Like to the really think that the only time failed tests happen they become publicized? I don’t think they realize how many times players fail a test and you never hear about it. It’s pretty damn frequent

Eh, there aren't rules in place that test for and provide for mandatory suspensions for drinking underage or fighting. This just goes back to knowing what the rules are and what the consequences are for breaking them. I completely agree that many of the rules don't make sense and aren't consistent in their enforcement based on the severity of the offense. But I still place blame 100% on the players because they are 100% aware they aren't supposed to smoke weed, will be tested for weed, and will be suspended/dismissed for not following those rules. I liken this to companies located in states where weed is legal that still have drug testing and forbid smoking weed. It's not illegal to use where they are but smoking weed can still result in termination from their jobs. Employees know this and are expected to follow the rules, and no one will (or should) feel sorry for them if they don't.

RULES ARE RULES! FOLLOW THEM!!
There are rules in the real world as well. Just because some state have legalized it that doesn't mean employers will have to follow those rules. Follow the rules!
I don't partake, but unless a THC breathalizer is used, I say citizen's rights are being violated if fired for THC+ result from a non-recency test in a legalized state.
