Doubtful. Even if the State of Georgia legalized it, it would still be illegal under Federal code, so I highly doubt UGA would sign off on it. Plus, there are NCAA implications.

I'm pretty sure there are not any, actually. They don't mandate testing or punishment for any drugs at all. It is left up to the conferences/schools, we could just stop testing or stop publicly punishing for it at least. No announcement needs to be made or anything, just do it.

NCAA rules = PED's & that's about it I think...

I'm pretty sure the NCAA has a "no-drug" policy that they require of member schools. I doubt UGA would being dishonest in this matter with the strict policies we have right now. Meaning, if they change their policy to allow marijuana use, that may be a direct violation of the NCAA policy on drug bans.

I honestly don't know if there would be any fallout from the NCAA if UGA took marijuana of its banned substances list (formally), but I doubt it would be pretty. Especially if other members started complaining about recruiting disadvantages based on the policy.
