Cannabis consumers make great athletes

Another Olympic athlete tested positive for marijuana and was removed from the team.

John Capel, the 200-meter world champion last year, was replaced on the U.S. 400-meter relay team because he tested positive for marijuana, an official familiar with the decision said Saturday.

Capel, a long time toker was also previously penalized by the NFL.

A wide receiver at Florida, he was selected by the NFL's Chicago Bears in 2001, but tested positive for the drug at the draft combine. On May 5, 2001, he was charged with possession of marijuana, and the Bears released him.

So if this herb is supposed to be so bad for your lungs, how come all these athletes excel at their sports while they're active consumers?
