NCAA recommends removing cannabis from list of banned drugs

I'm not a fan of this. I think you start going down a slippery slope once you begin doing things like this. I would wait until it's legal in all 50 states.

I agree that this could present a lot of problems since it is not legal in many states. I do not understand why they would choose to make this ok.

I think the bigger issue is that it is not performance enhancing, so why should the NCAA be involved at all?
Personally, I've never used cannabis, and I am not in favor of legalizing it. Even the claims of its medical benefits are greatly overstated and not well founded, but that's a different topic.
IMO, the NCAA needs to focus on athletics and academics, and punish the schools that break the rules, not get involved with the off-court behavior of individuals that has no effect on their athletic performance.
It's the schools' (and local law enforcement's) responsibility to "police" students' behavior. It seems like a good move by the NCAA.
