I agree with you that smoking is better for your body than drinking . I agree that ball golf is a leisure sport with heavy emphasis on imbibing while playing . However , drinking and smoking aren ' t allowed at tournaments and that ' s what permits ball golf to maintain a sense of professionalism in the media . Ball golf struggled to make the jump from leisure activity to sport and I see disc having the same problem . Once smoking pot loses the negative stigma it will be no big deal . I just don ' t know if that will happen for a few generations and I ' d like to see disc golf evolve into a more recognized sport before 2050 . I ' m not saying pot is bad . I am saying pot is bad for the sport if it keeps people away .
