It's inappropriate for the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) to have weaker policy on cannabis than the Olympic Committee. In fact, it's bad for the entire sports ecosystem.

This and many other serious reasons prove that marijuana should remain on the NCAA's banned-substances list for college athletes.
