QUESTIONS

I have a question about the legalization of marijuana, particularly as
it applies in states where recreational use is also permitted.

Marijuana is one of the substances on the prohibited list for college
and professional athletes, and its detection can result in fines and
suspensions. If I were an athlete in a state like Colorado, where
marijuana is as legal as a glass of beer, how does it apply to the
prohibited list of substances? Would I receive sanctions for using
something that is perfectly legal?

And what about drug pre-screening tests in those states?
