packerboy 3 #79 March 13, 2007 "Look at the dude that won the gold medal and then tested positive for the stuff." If you are talking about Ross Rebagliati the Canadian snowboarder that won a gold medal in GS snowboarding, he was not high while he was competing. Nor was he stoned even shortly before his event. I am not against weed at all, as a matter of fact, I was very much a chronic at one point in my life. But I must say in my not so very limited experience that while being stoned for a chronic may help them to concentrate on certain things with a great level of intensity it absolutely does impair your motor skills and would make it near impossible to pull off an olympic medal winning performance. I do not personally know Ross, but I do know people that do.. or better yet I knew people that did know him at that time, and he was not chronic any time near his olympic appearance. He was pretty carefull to stay away from it... just not carefull enough apparantly. -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LyraM45 0 #80 March 14, 2007 QuoteNo, can't agree. Alcohol is alcohol and drugs are drugs. No excuses for smoking marijuana and etc should be made. To my mind alcohol must be prohibited during jumping day and before jumps. Drugs (all types) must not be allowed at all! Being illegal by the way. Nooo.... alcohol is a drug as well, just like many other substances that are drugs and are legal. So many people in society say "well, alcohol is alcohol and drugs are drugs." Why?! Because our government can't get a grip on a particular substance and/or tax the substance and it's not made legal like alcohol? People always deem whats moral/immoral, right/wrong, just/unjust all by what the government deems is OK in it's eyes. Just my two cents, but there are plenty of other substances that are out there which the govrnment has made illegal that I would rather see an instructor do after hours and then be up at sunrise to work with stuff still floating around in his/her system. I've seen people on all ends of the spectrum and it's the alcohol guy that worries me the most (most of the time) the next morning after a party when I see him on the load.Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
