Message: [QUOTE="MooseJaw, post: 4005244, member: 10835"] Not sure where the thought came from that THC is equal to aspirin or the others you have mentioned. Many are unable to take aspirin or like products and Tylenol is a weak alternative. For those able to take over the counter remedies they may offer temporary relief or they may not. Experience and 2 years of classes in sports medicine teach that the best relief comes from icing the affected areas and elevating the body part if possible. What Ms. Richardson talked about was nothing of the kind and seemed to be from a form of depression. I have heard that she used an edible with THC as an ingredient, It is hard to believe that out of the blue a light blub type effect went off in her head and the answer to her condition was an edible. Something she had to know would end her quest for the gold. I have sympathy for any who loose a loved family member or beloved friend. This in no way excuses what she did knowing what the rules were. While many of us think the rules are outdated and archaic, they are still the rules and had to be enforced. She has accepted responsibility. lost her chance for personnel glory and weakened our team. The real debate as I see it: the the age old debate on the use of weed or now refined THC. That said I see no reason to continue the ban on THC. Yes there are times and places to restrict it just as in alcohol. Oldude your statement that athletes pretty much gain the same benefits from your listed items as from THC is a debate I would welcome. I know that it is for people with far more knowledge than I have, a debate that has been around for a long time. The debate over the general use of the drug has been around for over a century, it's time to leave the dark ages and accept THC for what it is, time to quit trying to control people. [/QUOTE]
