As mentioned above, pot was already extremely popular in Canada so it will be interesting to see how(if?) this changes anything.

Canada is apparently almost entirely out of weed just two days after legalisation

Fairfax's article on Mumford, with video:

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl ... 50bcp.html

The article's statement that
"The club is satisfied that Mumford, who is now married with two children, does not have a drug problem."
seems a bit odd compared with GWS's quoted statement that
"The club ... understands that Shane requires a level of medical support with his health and well-being in mind...
"The club will be working with Shane to ensure he engages in a rehabilitation program along with a range of other measures."

I wonder what the "employment law ramifications" the article mentions are.

Interesting timing, to say the least. Sounds like someone has a score to settle.

Did you read the article?

As a ruck coach and club ambassador, Mumford could be sanctioned by the AFL as a club employee, such as under a charge of "conduct unbecoming''.

Mumford is contracted to be employed (as a coach) at GWS for next year. He cannot be handed a "strike'' under the AFL's illicit drugs code as an official but can be subjected to penalties by the AFL, including a suspension.

GWS, too, can obviously take separate action against Mumford as an employee, depending on the legal position.

Given that it allegedly happened over 3 years ago, when he wasn't playing due to injury, I highly doubt he'll suffer any sanctions
