Cannabis is very, very, much considered a PED. It is banned in competition by USADA and WADA.
Anesthetizing effects, motor processing effects, lung performance, etc...
I will agree that most people most of the time are not smoking and becoming super athletes. I do not agree that athletic performance is unaffected by it and that it's consequences are universally negative. Hence the ban against using it in fair athletic competition.
