I can see what your saying about their zero tollerance policy but they have to draw a line somewhere. I hate the way they have a zero tollerance DRUG policy but the term drug describes everything from Crack, heroin, cocaine through to aspirin, caffeine, taurine (red bull if you didn't know). So what if RVD or anyone else smokes weed. The way I see it if you want to leap about and break yourself week in week out you have to be stoned off your tits surely. It also surprises me that America which has a strong religous belief disapproves of weed. If God does exist and he created cannabis (Im using this because it doesn't need to be produced like cocaine which is a plant but it has to be processed) then its like saying God is wrong. Whether cannabis causes schitzophrenia or not its still much less dangerous than alcohol. To kill yourself with weed you would have to smoke somewhere around your own body weight of the stuff and you would pass out way before you got that far. Alcohol - your friendly neighbourhood drug - can kill you if you drink too much just once. At least you have to smoke weed for a while before it is likely to have damaging effects.

Never trust the one's in power (except Triple A)

Duh. Of course you have to draw the line somewhere. Howabout with the illegal ones, for starters? Or maybe howabout the ones which have gotten wrestlers fired in the past? Or maybe even, since this was nothing more than a PR move, howabout barring the ones which are a perceived threat?

I mean, alcohol is legal, and they can't even do that 24 hours before a show. And you're saying that a banned substance should be where they draw the line? That's fucking retarded.

Mr Helmesly, come to think of it, there wasnt a single drop of ACTUAL urine in your sample, just a mixture of substances.

Kane Knight, I only used cannabis as an example and that is a legal drug when prescribed as a pain killer(In the UK anyway im not sure about the US). Given wrestlers could legitimately ask for pain killers I think if they allow ANY drugs they should be allowed cannabis It has pain killing effects whereas steroids are obviously for 'buffing up'. I could be wrong but wasn't the limit for alcohol 12 hours previous?



On a side note litmus paper can only detect acid/alkali and any test for drugs of that nature would need to be done with lab equipment or improvised lab equipment.

I don't know the laws 100%, but I don't think Marijuana is not legally sold as a pain killer in the US, only for eye problems, but I'm probably wrong (I know it's legal in only some states for some things). I believe doctors in the US can only perscribe it in pill form as well. Not that it has anything to do with the painkilling effect...

Besides, most if not all of the wrestlers who smoke it would (probably) not have it legally anyway.

As for steroids, there are steroids that would help people with injuries and the such (even ones used for "buffing up"), but those are exempt from the policy anyway (I believe)...

Try getting your facts straight first, then.

In the US, there is no such thing as medicinal marijuana. Even in the couple of states that have legalised such uses, it's still a federal crime.

This is a US-based company which operates primarily in the US with wrestlers who perform, reside in, and/or tour the US extensively. Saying "well, over here in the UK, it's legal" does not change the fact that marijuana is very illegal where it's pertinent to the corporation involved.

If ANY drugs should be barred, it's the illegal ones. Steroids and pot are both illegal (And unlike steroids, which are a controlled substance, Mary Jane is banned. That means that, technically, pot is more illegal).

Note I've already made a defense for steroids and marijuana. That, however, does not change the fact that they're illegal, and does not change the hypocrisy in WWE's policies here.

Fuck, I'm all for wrestlers juicing. The FDA has found nothing to substantiate the claims made regarding the danger of steroids. There are only two ways for stereoids to kill you, generally (That's not to say some deaths don't occur, but the same's true with fucking ASPIRIN): One, you abuse them. And it takes a lot to kill you this way, the dangers are overinflated. Two, you mix them with other drugs. Cocaine is a good example, and say...Wasn't Eddie on both? Steroids interact poorly with a lot of illegal drugs. Wrestlers aren't dropping specifically because of steroids, but because a lot of thema re also hooked on painkillers or abusing drugs.

And frankly, consenting adults who want to juice for non-competitive reasons (In other words, not for real sports, etc.)? I say let 'em, personally. Pot? I'm an advocate for consenting adults picking their own poisons. I'm funny like that.

But that doesn't change the fact that they're i-fucking-legal. Nor does it change the hypocrisy of the ZERO tolerance policy.

In Pill form!? I didn't think they'd bother well I've learned my new thing for the day.

Anyway does anybody know exactly what they do test for? And im talking about medical names not just steroids/illegal drugs.
