If a player lives in a state where it is legal, even if just medically, and it is not considered performance enhancing, should testing positive be a problem anymore?

Weed is the opposite of performance enhancing. If it's legal in that state, it's more of a team issue than a league one.

But I agree with it becoming a team issue at that point, along with alcohol and any other recreational drug,

Stop smoking for a month prior to that time and you are good to go for the remainder of the season. Only the dumb dumbs get caught Edited February 7, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever

Seattle won the Superbowl in large part due to the Bills. Cutting Lynch, and then while needing a QB, passing on Wilson for freaking TJ Graham. Lynch was anything but "unstoppable" as a Bill. In fact Freddy outplayed him. The guy had no motivation to play hard for the Bills. So do we keep him until his next suspendable offense?

A dude who was an NBA ball boy was on the Dan Patrick show today said he knew several times when players played high. How? The players would send him out to their Denalis to retrieve their stash.

It's more of a PR stunt than anything. Unless you are in the substance abuse program you are tested once in the beginning of the year. The tests aren't even random, as players know when and where they will occur. So, in order to not get caught all you have to do is not smoke for a month or so out of the year.
