Your thoughts on marijuana in professional wrestling?
Personally I don't care if a wrestler smokes pot. I don't think they should smoke prior to a match though. Seems like an after-match activity.

IIRC, WWE's Wellness Policy treats marijuana the same as it does alcohol, with the same amount of fine, rather than as serious violation.

What are your thoughts on this?

I have no problem with weed. I think any adult should be able to put whatever they want into their body.

That being said, it's still a federal crime. So until it's legal on a federal level (no time soon), I think it should be considered a violation on par with whatever other illegal substances there are. Especially if you're going for a PG, family-friendly product. What message does it send to kids if their heroes are doing drugs and breaking the law?

In short, smoke if you want. I don't give a shit. But don't be shocked when the consequences happen.

No problems but it is the corporate policy. If you want to work there don't light up. If you do want to blaze, go to TNA.

It drives me nuts to admit this, but you're right. Honestly, if I myself hypothetically were a wrestler in the WWE it'd be a MASSIVE struggle to pass the wellness test just based on the weed alone... I think it's a bullshit policy and I would be burning on the reg, but it'd be my god damned fault for getting booked. It's the rules not to smoke, so the boys' hands are tied. If they really "need" it, maybe talk to the higher ups about medical exemptions which seem to be going out like hot cakes in the states. Other than that, if it's pressing, and you need to blaze up like Edgar said, go to TNA if you're viable enough to get signed there.

TNA has a drug policy, it's lol TNA in that I don't think they did more than test once but they still have one. But yeah, it's against the rules, if you want to be a stoner work elsewhere or get a legends deal.

Believe that is only the case for regular weed and not if its synthetic which is what R-Truth, Bourne, and a few others got suspended for.


Personally don't care if they use it or not but no sympathy if they were dumb enough to get busted while getting a push (ex. Swagger recently).

Curtis Axel could use some pot to improve his promos.

Wrestlers imo deserve to do whatever they want with their bodies, and deserve to choose the green, especially if they got chokeslammed in their match, or drop kicked in the fuckin' face.

Now with pot being the gateway drug supposedly and mixing in the celebrity of being a traveling star, other devastating drugs come into play, and that is where the danger is.

I thought about this when they signed RVD. Maybe RVD is abstaining for the duration of his WWE tenure, but at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if the higher ups are willing to overlook him pissing hot in exchange for the talent he brings.

Marijuana should never be treated like other drugs, IMO. it isn't like other drugs. Really irritates me when it gets lumped in with meth and actual dangerous substances. The lack of education on marijuana is pretty astounding.

Pretty much the same as my thoughts on marijuana in all professional sports:


They will always way over-react to the use of it, BUT them's the rules and every athlete knows them so they're completely idiotic if they get caught using. Pretty simple, really. You want to have your chance at being a multi-millionaire celebrity/athlete? Then sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

The use of it itself at face value I could care less one way or another about.

honestly, i'd rather have them smoking than taking pain pills. there are states where it's legal, and pot helps with a lot of different things.

Which is hilarious, when you think about it. The penalty for pot is a fine, so they switch to something harder to detect in general (but that WWE does test for), but which gets you fired instead of fined.

Indeed. I don't even care if people smoke pot, really, but it's fucking idiotic to take an awesome job and piss it away because you want to get high.

It's still illegal federally, and pain pills and pot aren't mutually exclusive.

They are all illegal, impair judgement/coordination so they should all be lumped together.

That is ridiculously ignorant. Marijuana is completely different than something like meth. There is no comparison. I don't mind them doing the "its all illegal" thing but pot is nothing some of the other drugs it is lumped together with. People that think that typically don't smoke pot very much. Smoke pot and then do meth and tell me they impair you in the same way or are even remotely similar. The lack of education on marijuana is pretty staggering. Don't get me wrong, I used to think the same way because I was lied to about pot for my entire life. Once I got into it a bit, I realized that everyone was full of shit. You can be completely functional on marijuana, especially somebody like RVD who does it everyday.

Once again, if we do the "its illegal" thing, then fine. But don't compare it to other actually harmful drugs. That's somewhat irresponsible.

Quit drinking completely and smoke maybe 2 bowls a day and a little more when watching wrestling, I spend way less and I don't feel like shit.

Once the majority of people are smartened up on Marijuana, this won't be a topic of debate. Times are changing with states legalizing it and more state are voting (Minnesota here included) on the medicinal legalization, which will more than likely pass here. It's all just a matter of time.

Hows it irresponsible? Does it impair you? Yes. You can be as liberal as you like but it impairs you and to try and defend it because "its not as bad as meth" is fucking ridiculous.

Yeah it does, and I take responsibility for that, by staying home and not wandering out in public. Not everyone in this world is going to make correct choices, and even correct choices have consequences.

That's a pretty slippery-slope argument, same as someone who swears they are just fine driving "while a little buzzed" because they're used to it.

Don't think that "legalizing it" will make a difference. Srsly? Alcohol is totally legal but you think your company wants you operating under the influence? Listen, I love weed as much as the next guy but saying it doesn't impair your ability to do your job (much more so such a physically demanding job where if you're fucking around you WILL hurt yourself or somebody else) is the irresponsible thing to say here.

Well, I don't think they should take it before they go to the ring or anything but testing for it is kind of silly, IMO. It doesn't really change anything, tbh. You could not tell the difference between somebody who regularly smokes pot and somebody who doesn't by their in-ring work. It being illegal doesn't change that it's relatively harmless. Now, I understand that it is still illegal and people should act accordingly but I will not act like marijuana is harmful. Its just not and it is not in any sort of class with other hard drugs.

Obviously I'm not condoning somebody slamming a gravity bong load before they go out to wrestle. Even if it didn't effect the matxh, its unprofessional. Somebody smoking pot in their off time isn't a big deal to me and it never will be.
