Do not even get me started on Mariuana either. I have heard rumors that a lot of these online pros smoke weed during their sessions and they are all amazing players.

Until there is a POKER PLAYERS ALLIANCE there will be no testing.
Heck, there is not even a uniformed accepted tournament structure.
WSOP rules, WPT rules, State rules take precedent over other rules, and then we have the TDA rules which kind of are used in the WPT but can be over ruled by State and local laws which may not be as strict as the poker room the tournament is being held in. Which then takes precedent over all other rules.
then you have the problem of WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE DRUG TEST.
I guess adding another 2% taken from the prize fund could fund the testing.
But then you have to come up with WHAT, HOW MUCH, HOW OFTEN and WHO is to be tested.

(I am assuming you mean cocaine and not coca-cola.)

With regards to your first point ('cleaning up' the game), why do you care if the player next to you is using drugs? It is none of your business.

I disagree with your second point. Using any drug would probably diminish your ability to make good poker decisions. Also, I find it hard to believe that someone who just used cocaine would want to sit at a poker table for hours.

Should caffeine be illegal since makes a person more alert?

I believe that IQ testing should be instituted to level the playing field. If I'm playing in a large field 3+day tournament, is it fair that I should be playing against players who are measurably smarter than I am. Perhaps alternating ball peen hammer blows to the head and shots of 151 could be used to even out the high IQ players.
What do people think?

I played poker on coke before.
I made this huge bluff, the guy was thinking for about 5 minutes, my heart almost jumped out of my throat, it was beating so fast.
If he would of taken another minute before folding, I would of just told him, I was bluffing to end this torture.
