    I think we are close to legalization within the next 5 years

    I don't see the big deal with Marijuana. It's no PED that's for sure.

    Also whilst I don't have a problem as such with him smoking weed a few people suggested that it can be used as a masking agent for PED's. Any truth in that or are people just trying to cause ****?

    It's quite obvious that it's not a ped, however it's still illegal. Now do I agree that cannabis should be legalised, you bet, and there are other reasons other than because I smoke it, but at the end of the day it's an illegal drug, therefore justifying the various no decisions that have been issued.

    **** Arum. If it was a non-Top Rank fighter who'd tested positive Arum would be having a hissy fit. For example, supposing Martinez had tested positive for it. We can all argue our own opinions and the ethics behind the case for legalising marijuana, but as things stand, Jr took it illegally. Tough ****. He's a PROFESSIONAL, and should act like one. Tyson tested positive for marijuana after he beat Golota, and the result was changed from a TKO to a NC. Them's the rules.

    Arum is right, but I don't think the issue here is cheating - it's breaking the law.

    Look at bob's eyes, he's a regular timer himself.

    The hate on him is ridiculous even if he's right.:patsch

    It increases pain tolerance. I don't see how that's a bad thing if your a boxer..

    Marijuana is not a PED but it could have been used for gainning weight after the weigh-in. It gives you the munchies thus you eat more and gain more weight which is JR's advantange over all the MW's.

    Or who knows? I, IMO, think it was used for that purpose. Or simply Jr likes to smoke the cannibis and was smoking it during the trainning camp as a relaxer or etc.
