It would seem that it is prohibited based on the USGA/PGA drug policy.

Political views are for a different folder - this one is about the Rules of golf. And I meant to be loud. :)

I have found nothing in the Rules of Golf that prohibit it. The USGA anti-doping policy applies to competitions for which the USGA is the Committee. The Rules specifically authorize the Committee in other events to develop its own anti-doping policy.

What political view did i make? My point directly relates to the topic at hand. Whether we are talking about the governing body of a town or in this case a sport, alcohol and tobacco are permitted but not things like Medical marijuana. The USGA would be ok with you taking a Vicoden but not medical marijuana. Both are prescribed by physicians. And you are being ignorant by being loud. If you can't express yourself without using caps please don't post. :smile:

Whatever you believe the powers of the federal government should be, it is undeniable that current federal law, which supersedes state law, makes use of marijuana a crime. There is no grey area on this point. If the federal government wanted to, it could go into Colorado, for example, and shut down every single dispensary and charge the owners and operators with federal crimes. The fact that the federal government has not yet done so does not mean that the recreational use of marijuana is legal.

Exactly.

 

In the examples above regarding a Mass course and why they won’t sell pot related products and or why are they stupid not to. My answer is this . How would you like to be the course that was seized by the DEA when ( not if ) the Feds decide they need a new revenue stream and decide to enforce the law? Once the opioid stream slows down , they will need a filler. Pot is the easiest target. And many will say “ oh now they won’t. They will have an uprising “. Yea right . If that was going to happen it would have been 40 years ago when the started locking people up for years for cannabis only offenses. People who are selling it out in the open are playing with fire. Like lose your life as you know it fire. Same thing happened with synthetics before they decided to ban / crack down on them. They let people run open legal tax paying businesses for years before popping by one day and seizing it all and locking you up. I’m taking your house , your family , all of it.

Right. Then you get a sativa and calmed inner monologue decides to go on vacation.

Never helped my performance. I was in a dispensary last night. Just blows my mind that they sell primo bud in a store. Legally (per state law). Out in the open. $10 per gram.

Live and let live boys.

Keep it civil. When you have seen a lot of things, you'll realize most of these won't matter , by tomorrow.

If nothing gets in the way of others, I consider they can do whatever they wish to their own life if, they won't use the common resources to correct the problem they may cause and they're not harming anyone else. No one live the same life and have the same experience, so like we had learned from the kindergarten ( hopefully ), accept the others.

And keep it to the main focus of the forum, please.

I have seen and heard enough outside of this forum , so would appreciate if I come here to soak in golf related matters.

Thanks.

This is probably the most reasonable post in this thread. If the reason someone wants to use a controlled substance is for performance purposes (i.e. calming influence, pressure relief), it would seem that is should be disallowed. If not explicitly, at least implicitly under the Rules of Golf.

Does it?

 

It can also cause restlessness, anxiety, elevated heart rate, drowsiness, lethargy, etc. it’s really hard to say “what” it does to “whom” and what kind of effect it has on golf performance.

 

My opinion is that if someone wants to play high or drunk go for it. If you get beat by them chances are they are better than you sober.

It and alcohol should not be allowed in any real event. I know several guys who can putt out of their minds while buzzed.

Presumably, though, the people that want to get high before a competitive round are not those that typically experience anxiety, lethargy, and/or drowsiness.

Yeah, it will be banned in competitive play. Reminds me of the early days of beta blockers, the ones that got through the blood brain barrier. Was pretty big on the tour. I remember a pro, I can see his face but not his name, holed out from the fairway on 18 at harbor town. They interviews him on TV. He said something like "whoopee" in subdued tones. He couldn't have cared less. They banned those, they'll ban weed.

The guy I know who smokes does it because it DOES calm him down, he admits that.

I remember a pro, I can see his face but not his name, holed out from the fairway on 18 at harbor town. They interviews him on TV. He said something like "whoopee" in subdued tones. He couldn't have cared less. They banned those, they'll ban weed.

 

Thank goodness they haven’t banned it in my Monday night skins game. Whoopee.

Lol what? I doubt there’s a placebo effect from smoking weed versus wearing lucky socks. Potheads don’t smoke weed for a placebo it’s about getting high.

Just admit it, you like to smoke it and are grasping at straws to validate your desire. That's the only reason I can see for you making such an uneducated (sorry) reply. Yep, thc is a placebo drug.

Actually, I don't care for the modern high-thc designer stuff. I can barely walk after ingesting it and can't imagine trying to play golf in that state. I suppose some chronic users could develop a high tolerance to it, though. There is low-thc cannabis available that might provide a buzz equivalent to a couple of beers.

So, if/when the feds give up on prohibition and decriminalize it, I suppose the USGA , PGA, and LPGA might take it off their prohibited substances list? It would be interesting to see if top players then might use it as just another expensive accessory in their very competitive, cut-throat arena if they thought it might give them an edge. If so, I could see the big cannabis growers designing a blended strain to meet that demand.
