Really? He was/is a drug addict. Almost certainly addicted to a stimulant. Can you please explain how a drug addict could control their abuse of a stimulant to avoid being affected on a match day? If Cousins did that this is an extraordinary achievement in the history of drugs and sport. There is strong circumstantial evidence against your assertion. In horse racing positive drug tests are not the only evidence that is considered by the stewards in determining whether a horse has been presented with a prohibited substance. An admission by a trainer that an animal was addicted to a stimulant would disqualify a horse from competative racing. AFL is not about horses of course but something close - an ass and Cousins is a disgrace.

Herion is not a good example. I haven't heard of too many cases where someone's smoked a joint then gone home and belted the wife ... yet I've heard of way too many where that's happened after a few too many drinks (or after a few weeks on ICE). All "drugs" alter your "perception" (for want of a better word). I know happy drunks, I know violent drunks. I know happy and successful herion addicts and I know sad and truly down and out "junkies".
It's legal to drink alcohol in this country provided you are over the age of 18. If you are driving a car, you are still allowed, say, two drinks before going over "the limit" (over a night, if you will, full licenced driver). Anything above "the limit", and you are driving, you are breaking the law - not for being drunk, but for operating a vehicle over the prescribed limit of alcohol.

My point was that alcohol is a more destructive drug than most, and agree that Amphetamines in any form are murder, I look at the results 5 days a week and in the end, it doesn't matter what's legal and whats not all drugs will destroy peoples lives one way or another if there is a genetic problem it can happen after one "joint" (not that anyone can afford to smoke joints any more). The single biggest cause of Schizophrenia in this country is Cannabis use. You can't argue with the facts, read up AnnieWild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

I used to smoke a fair bit with uni friends, and several have developed bi polar. Without citing clinical evidence, I think smoking dope tends to manifest this illness, which otherwise might remain dormant.
Each to their own, but my own experience as a former heavy dope smoker is that it is not benign.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

It would be great for Cuz to be playing. If not us, the Tigers would be perfect as they are my sleepers to do better than expected this year.
And if they get Cuz it will really spice up my relationship with the partner who is from Tigerland. I'll be able to use all the ammunition from RWO to give her grief about having an acknowledged drug user playing for them etc etc.
Mind you I'm yet to live down 2005 when I gave her grief prior to the Richmond game and then we lost by a single point. I had better wait until the end of the game to see if we win first.Comment
