  1. We're starting to pay more attention these days to the intense mental health challenges faced by the world's most talented and competitive athletes (see, just this year, Naomi Osaka and Maddie Groves). Alleviating that pressure is not "performance enhancement," it's self-care.

  2. The NYDN piece also includes this incredible quote: "One of the effects of marijuana is that it removes inhibitions. It makes (athletes) not afraid of going down a 45-degree hill doing triple flips." This is not a guy who's ever attempted even minor physical tasks while baked.

  3. The other is this NY Daily News piece, and the WADA study cites quotes provided by skateboarder Bob Burnquist and his wife, who say they smoke weed not to enhance performance, but to alleviate stress brought on by the pressures of the sport

  4. One of them is this study of French student-athletes, which says *right in the study* that its findings cannot be generalized to students at large, let alone professional athletes

  5. Here's the study they use to justify that claim It says quite prominently that more study is needed. But the crux of its argument—that weed enhances athletic performance—cites just two sources...

  6. A cursory review of the evidence that WADA presents to justify its claim that weed is a performance enhancing drug is absolutely laughable. This is so insane.

  11. CA's law enforcement interest also has little to do with political activity, which is the IRS's domain. The state said it needed this info to root out charitable fraud and self-dealing. The court ruled these donor lists weren't so crucial to that interest to override 1A concerns.

  12. Worth noting: this ruling does not meaningfully affect the amount of info on nonprofits, politically active or otherwise, that is publicly disclosed, except to extent this info was improperly leaked (which is rare but has happened). The donor IDs at issue were never public info.

  13. SCOTUS: "California’s blanket demand that all charities disclose [lists of their major donors] to the Attorney General is facially unconstitutional."
