You probably know coaches who use marijuana medically or recreationally.

It’s a more complicated issue than you might think at first glance. Especially with the laws changing in Canada and other parts of the world.

So in CO, most clubs don’t bother with banning it because it is a legal off duty activity for those over the age of 21. If you are impaired while working though…that is a completely different story and up the the gym manager to pull the coach.

Marijuana is not worse than alcohol. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not much worse than cigarettes.
Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs out there – and it’s over the counter. I’ve seen many lives destroyed by solely by alcohol, but not one destroyed solely by marijuana.
