Speaking to the NSAC comitee, Ratner said:
“Society is changing, it’s a different world now than when I was on the commission. States are legalizing marijuana and it’s becoming more and more of a problem with fighters testing positive and the metabolites. I think it’s something that has to be discussed on a commission level now. Right now I just cannot believe that a performance enhancing drug and marijuana can be treated the same. It just doesn’t make sense to the world anymore and it’s something that has to be brought up.”The NSAC's Steroid and Drug Testing Advisory Panel is tentatively scheduled to meet again in approximately 30 days.
"Right now, I just cannot believe that a performance-enhancing drug and marijuana can be treated the same," Ratner said. "It just doesn't make sense to the world anymore, and it's something that I think has to be brought up."
Bravo Marc Ratner for knowing and understanding weed is a little different than PEDs and Steroids. I'm not sure weed would be real useful in training much less in battle ...States are legalizing it's recreational use for adults and Nevada should too. Tax it! Put the money received from sales into our school system or somewhere is could be used wisely.
