I have no personal issue with sportspeople getting on the gear, as long as they're not from my club. The recovery time after a night on the snort is only going to hamper performance.
And where's all this coke? I don't see any coke. Nobody shows me any coke. Everyone's doing coke except me. Where's the ####ing coke I ask yas?
Not everyone has Ben Cousins' ability to train and play hard after a night on the snort. Based on my experiences, it's definitely performance degrading.I'm sure there are very good players from your club who get on it and pull up for training fine, don't worry about that. And these boys need to blow off some steam, let em do it, they can't drink too much cause of skin folds so they have to do something.
Drugs are pretty cool, and this will never happen to you.Defence counsel Michael Tovey, QC, said today medical testing had revealed Mr Woodhead had a pre-existing psychosis sparked by marijuana use.
The hearing was told that in the lead up to the killing he spoke of higher powers, a hierarchy of humanity and was obsessed with werewolves and vampires.
“He went from a young guy having fun and enjoying his friends’ company to a completely different person,” friend Matthew Caldwell said in a statement.

He...has pleaded not guilty to murder — arguing he was in a delusional and drug-addicted state before the stabbing.
Dope can bring out pre-existing conditions in people, and there is always the danger of people smoking it before their brains have fully developed, but the vast majority of users enjoy it with out many more problems than a bit of weight gain.In today's news...

It's a different world nowadays. Society should be more tolerant I think of recreational drugs. Heck, alcohol is the worst drug of all. Moderation is the key.
Extremism and over-abuse in any form is the problem. Be it sex, drugs, alcohol, religion, over eating, power, politics, money, pr0n and the list goes on.
No one at any point has said that drugs are harmless or without risk.In today's news...

Don't know about cement dust, but I'm sure it's been done.I watched a documentary a year or 2 ago - and they were showing how certain drugs were made - and im pretty sure it was cocaine - and they added cement dust to it - yet people take it - Unbelievable
He also said when discussing the issue - that Elvis was hooked on it - and he said - you should of seen the pack of miserable baarstards that he( Elvis) was hanging out with - towards the end - because of it
I'll talk from the perspective of the league, since morally I'd probably be on a different side of the issue than most posters here (surprise, it's a board mainly of young males).
From the standpoint of the well being of the league, it's absolutely within reason for them to want to heavily discourage the use of cocaine by its players. Go read up on the NBA in the late 70s/early 80s. Cocaine swept through that league like a hurricane, destroying careers all over the place. The NBA didn't have any drug policy in place back then, and they were forced to introduce one.
As AFL salaries continue to increase, it's not going to just be the highly paid guys doing it. If the culture of drug-taking is allowed to take hold, in 5-10 years when the rookies are coming in on $200k and can suddenly afford a drug habit, they're going to start joining in. And that's how careers start to go down the toilet.
So even beyond the simple image issue, it's not within the best interests of the league to have its labour force on cocaine.
Cocaine is responsible for over 100,000 deaths in Mexico since 2007. But who cares right, it's just Mexicans?
Hendrix was similar in that he died because he pushed away those who cared, to be replaced mostly by parasites.
Rock stars have sycophants around them? s**t, that's news to me. I'm sure the only reason for this is drug use
