Roger Goodell gave a speech last Friday talking about all the BS the NFL was going to do to address domestic violence. One of the things was to provide training for NFL employees about domestic violence.

Perhaps NASCAR can give their folks training about how to walk amongst fast moving traffic without getting run over. Adrenaline versus Darwin.

Is this sarcasm? You guys cannot be seriously suggesting that weed meaningfully contributed to Ward's death. Have none of you ever smoked weed? That's not how it works.

And I will say this from personal experience, if local dirt tracks start drug testing, they'll lose a very large portion of their drivers.

Hey, the report says he was meaningfully high. He was out there driving a race car IN a race. That's not the weed I remember. And drug testing is one thing. Doing something about it is another.

Physiological Effects of Marijuana
The active ingredient in marijuana is THC. That's short for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.

THC is rapidly absorbed after smoking pot. Within minutes, THC and the other substances in marijuana smoke cause short-term medical effects.

Signs of using marijuana include:

  • Rapid heart rate
  • Increased blood pressure
  • Increased rate of breathing
  • Red eyes
  • Dry mouth
  • Increased appetite, or "the munchies"
  • Slowed reaction time

These effects are reduced after three or four hours. However, marijuana hangs around in your system for as long as a month after smoking. The lingering effects mean you're impaired for several days to weeks after the high wears off.

Psychological Effects of Marijuana

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the main effects of marijuana on mood vary and may include euphoria, calmness, anxiety, or paranoia. Getting high or "stoned" is the reason most pot smokers use marijuana.

Other short-term psychological effects of pot include:

  • Distorted sense of time
  • Paranoia
  • Magical or "random" thinking
  • Short-term memory loss
  • Anxiety and depression

These psychological signs of using pot also generally ease after a few hours. But residual effects can last for days.
