Gambling is gambling.  These people are crying foul now cause poker passed them by and they didnt keep up with the solvers etc. They think the solution is to drug test.  They should just retire in the sunset and walk away because they can't accept that they can't keep up with people who actually study and learn.

I am not surprised in the least Chicken Legs Chamath said something stupid. He has a history of doing that. 😆

Some players do use them but there are 10,000 other problems with professional poker that are forcing normies out.

the 1 in 20 people taking adderall are not the problem.

and def not the 19/20 that are using weed or alcohol during the game.

This is so stupid.
