How hard is it to not smoke weed for a few months?

She broke a rule and she is out. That is the way it has to be. She knew the rule and for you that think she passed other drug test. I bet you would be surprised. Then she went on a all out political witch hunt in the media. Look this was not the 1st time she used. I would say it is more normal to use for her. She believed the "woke" crowd would get her out of it, but that did not happen. And that was the right thing to do!

It isn't. Delta 8, which is legal in LA now, is even less "addictive".

Physiologically, cannabis isn't even in the same ballpark as alcohol, caffeine, sugar, a loooooooong list of pain medications, etc.

People may develop a "habit" or "psychological dependence" associated with weak will, but that can happen with all sorts of things. It's not addictive in the way that "hard drugs" like alcohol and cocaine are.

She did it in Oregon, where it's legal. And she said she did it to help cope with the death of her mother.

What I think you're trying to say is that you "could not care less".

No. If half the Alabama football team was ineligible because of cannabis, I would say it's a dumb rule and it should be changed.

What a dumbass decision. They should have let her compete.
