Kinda boring on here so I though I would soak a ball in kerosene light it then kick it to the forum.
See what kind of opinions and fact based findings folks might want to share.
I do not agree with banning fighters based on "Legal" substances weed and such are barely even regulated.
I feel even dumbass Jones popping for coke and other non performance drugs should have been other penalties.
For the record I do not use drugs hardly even drink or use pain killers, I just feel proper channels not banning.
I've read numerous articles how dope helps people train harder, this has never been the case for the hundred of people I know who smoke and otherwise imbibe.

I dont think there should be any suspensions for any recreational drugs. Its nobody's buisness unless they are cheating what you put in your body. I also dont believe drugs should be illegal but thats a different topic.

Yeah, I agree. Fighters should only be banned if they use PED's. If they want to use recreational drugs that don't give them any kind of unfair advantage then I don't see the problem with it. I feel that recreational drug use is something should be left for their team to sort out.

I think the fact that it is natural, and is not a hard drug and it's obvious now edibles or even smoking helps people in many different ways. Why shouldn't professional athletes be able to use it? Obviously don't get high as **** before a fight but if you're in camp and use it, I don't see a problem.
