Let my home girl run.

Sha'Carri Richardson ran 100 meters faster than any other woman at the U.S. Olympic trials, but she won't be able to compete in the event at the Olympic Games in Tokyo after testing positive for marijuana.

There are so, so many things wrong with this. The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which officially announced Richardson's month-long suspension on Friday, should be ashamed for how they've handled the situation. More importantly, they should change their policies to ensure more athletes aren't subjected to an unnecessary punishment for using a substance that is obviously not going to provide a competitive edge.

Pot is now legal in many US states, even though Uncle Joe is still worried about reefer madness.

In any event, it's like consuming tequila. Damn sure isn't going to give you an advantage in race. Unless it's a doritos eating contest.

Not going to argue with you on this one.

Pot is no a performance enhancing drug and she should be allowed to compete.

But if you not post ever article from The Reason it would be good

Its not right wing at all. Pro drug legalization isn't a right wing stance..

And I'll keep using it as you don't like it.

Of course the introduced chemicals in this athletes body are fine. But the Devils Lettuce is a no no.
