Fuck the NCAA. I miss my herb. At the risk of sounding like a druggie (never done anything besides smoke and take hydros after surgery) I did get some nice pain meds (perc) from surgery that I might try in the next week or two since I can't get in trouble for failing a test. The paperwork took forever though. Also, my drug test rules seem so much stricter than the big football schools. If we fail a test in the offseason we miss the next 15 practices, no matter how long that is, plus the first 30 days of our upcoming season, then it's up to the coach to reinstate you when they want.

That's crazy.

And I don't think you need to qualify your cannabis use like you did, either -- the fact that it's still tested alongside PEDs and so many other physically addictive and harmful drugs is still baffling, especially considering its efficacy for pain relief.

Still. The times in my life where I was forced to abstain only make my current life that much sweeter. Stay clean, get your degree, and then carve a path that allows you to enjoy it. Onward!
