is marihuana a performance enhancer for your golf?

How to sort out the drugs problem and break the dealers. Govt. needs to buy up all the harmful drugs eg cocaine, heroine, anphetamine from the 'wholesalers' and then just dump it on the streets for nothing and keep doing it for a year or so..(a bit like the plot in Live and Let Die).

This will put the dealers out of business and eradicate most/all crime needed to pay for the habit in the first place, as it will be free. After the dealers are broken, govt should stop buying the stuff.

In my country its an illegal substance and anyone using an illegal substance while playing on tour should be banned for life. What a horrible role model.

I don't care for druggies or drunks on the golf course. If you take it or drink it, it will change your behavior, and usually negatively. Have someone tape you the next time you decide to get drunk or stoned; if that won't stop you, nothing will; you're hooked.

If you don't like the law, work to have it changed; until then, obey the law or pay the penalties.

If you must, do it at home, in private.

The only performance enhancer I would like to have is some prescription pain killers for my constantly painful left shoulder - darvocets?

I would have to agree with the OP that it's not a performance enhancer and really shouldn't be on the list.

I was about to go into detail about how some of the drugs on the list are regularly used to regulate blood pressure or treat asthma attacks, and that banning them could cause some players to retire early or risk their health by not using the substance. I searched and found a site that says these medications will be allowed as long as the player has a prescription, and that the drug levels in the urine are within normal use parameters.

Would you all consider any forms of ADD/ADHD medication "performance enhancing"? These drugs have a considerably strong stimulant effect on non-ADHD consumers and enhance focus abilities and stamina. The effects of a 20mg time release adderall are evident as much as 8 hours after being induced into the blood stream. I haven't seen any regulations on perscription medications like this...

Any thoughts?
