Reefer Madness?

So, the US Anti-Doping Agency says marijuana is a performance-enhancing drug. I've never used the stuff myself, but from the reactions I've seen in those who do and have, I somehow doubt that--especially when it comes to sports like track, where speed is the most important factor.

Never seen anybody's reaction time or body movement get faster after taking marijuana. Generally, they seem to get lazy, lethargic and sleepy.That doesn't seem like a reaction you want in a runner.

Why do I have the feeling this is all just a left-over from the days of "Reefer Madness"?
