Should our compliance office lessen the penalty for positive marijuana test

I don't think we would have the suspensions and half the transfers that happened this year. We all want LSU to compete with Alabama, but when was the last time a Player from Alabama was suspended for marijuana use. These are college kids 18 to 21, and with the United States lessening the penalties on marijuana with some states making it legal our compliance office should definitely lessen their policy

How ‘bout...don’t break the freaking law. Are marijuana laws outdated these days...yes. But it’s still the law.

Nope. Can't stay clean you don't play. We can't start enabling players.

I'm certainly ok with not testing for marijuana, but has that really been a reason for suspensions and transfers?

But LSU isn't law enforcement.

I don't think that they should bother testing for it at all. I'd prefer to see my players high on the couch at home watching a movie or playing video games instead of out at a bar.

LSU wouldn't be supplying the players with pot.

Ummm no

It's stupid to test for pot. Bama doesn't (well they say they do but lol). Why should we?
Besides, you aren't catching anyone really. There are ways to smoke pot one day and go get tested the next and have it come up clean.

Because that's what I said.
No they wouldn't, but they'd be letting it slide if they smoked. Enabling.

That'd be a good thing. At Alabama, a felony gun arrest doesn't get a player suspended. There's no reason LSU should seek out ways to punish players for unimportant shite.

If you can't follow simple rules you should be punished, simple as that. These guys are getting a full ride education out of the deal as well as a very good shot at going pro. We shouldn't be bending the rules just because we want a few more wins at football.

Yes,
Don't smoke the day of the game. Otherwise DGAF.

OP is suggesting the rule should be changed to reflect reality, not some 1950s Mayberry utopia that never existed. It's not LSUs job to enforce the law. It'd make just as much sense if LSU suspended players for traffic tickets.

Yes. The mj law is dumb and athletics just scratches surface.
Countless productive citizens have lost jobs, incarcerated, and ostracized for it, while the CEO, HSEQ manager, etc gets smashed over the weekend, or even nightly on another drug proven to ruin lives, cause fatal accidents, etc.
It's frickin retarded.

Reality is many people would get fired if they popped positive on a drug test.

Exactly. Marijuana use is widespread and it's pointless to fight that. And it's probably a big reason employers in most industries don't test for it--they'd rather not know if the employee isn't showing up for work stoned.

It's ridiculous that a plant is illegal in some states.
Hell no players shouldn't be checked for that!

So you’re talking about a hypothetical 2025 utopia where people don’t care about marijuana use, not reality.

You do know they don't get suspended until after the 2nd or third positive test
