Impulse control is not addiction. Could it lead to addictive behavior? Absolutely.
I'm not sure anyone has ever said poor decisions are an indicator of intelligence so I'm not sure why you are so interested is disconnecting stupidity from intelligence. Stupid decisions can be isolated events.
We can't chalk it up to stupidity because that's not accurate enough, but playing the role of armchair psychiatrist and proposing all sorts of alternatives is?
Not that any of this matters because I don't think many people have some deep seated hatred for weed. I certainly don't care but that doesn't mean I won't take a position against drafting these known users. The NFL is not going to change it's policy until US law changes. Until that time, players will continue to be suspended for weed.
If my favorite prospect smokes weed and never tests positive, more power to him. Doesn't bother me one bit because he's not going to be suspended. Furthermore, whether or not my favorite prospect actually smokes weed is irrelevant because the tests say he doesn't, and the test results are the determining factor as to whether or not a guy will be available on Sunday.
When people are arguing against a player for weed, they're more than like just arguing against a player who can't pass the test. I know that's where I am at.
