You need to rethink that. Over 90% of NBA players and over 50% of NFL players smoke weed. The best conditioned swimmer who ever lived smokes weed. Usain Bolt smokes weed. I trust that the world's best athletes know how weed affects athletic performance. The beneficial affect of weed on muscles and joints lowers pain and elevates performance.
No offense, but do you have a link to support those stats and a corroborating medical opinion? I smoked pot in my college years and I can safely tell you that it not only did in not enhance my mental or physical performance in any way but rather was definitely a net negative in terms producing the classic smokers cough, memory lapse, extreme munchies and general laid back/couch potato attitude.

Whiznot gave literally hundreds of examples, while you simply used your own personal experiences to negate his claim. I feel like you should be the one providing a link supporting your couch potato stats.

Gurley Girl, the information about the percentages of NBA and NFL players who smoke weed was reported by players in those leagues.
I doubt that many players compete while under the influence. Weed is used mainly a recovery aid but a few athletes like to compete stoned. Randy Moss, who was unstoppable, said that he always played stoned in high school. In 1983, tennis player Yannick Noah smoked a couple of bowls of hash before winning the French Open final over Mats Wilander.
Hardly a month goes by without there being news of some scientific study reporting health benefits of cannabis. Elite football players must deal with injury and pain. Cannabis is a helthier alternative for opiates and NSAIDS.

Cannabis is good for your brain. Cannabis can help protect your brain and regrow brain cells after a concussion. It is even shown that cannabis smokers can even have a higher lung capacity than non smokers. Cannabis doesn't cause lung cancer either, in fact there is a lot of evidence in it curing cancer. Sure smoking cannabis isn't as good for you as vaporizing it, eating it, or juicing a live plant, but we can't expect our college athletes to grow the plant and juice it for all the nutritional benefits.
