Jarrett had a long run with the nose candy and xanax, which is kinda obvious seeing his promos and how he's looked last few years. hero was seen smoking a blunt outside a chikara show, too. Eh, Michael Phelps smoked weed too. So? Does Phelps consider himself "straight edge"? Does Jarrett? Only guy who I know does is Punk and caffeine IS a drug IMO as I am consciously using that drug to enhance my performance at work or at the gym. Some people mentioned here are ridiculous. I'll throw in Scott Steiner: he doesn't look like he drinks or smokes. |

As long as you want to call not drinking much as straight edge, Foley qualifies. Also Owen Hart. Almost positive Owen used steroids at least a few times in his career. And Punk uses caffeine and has done sleeping pills. So he is out too. I also believe has admitted to tasting beer and just not liking it. So basically, straight edge is just a meaningless term. |

I don't think tasting beer as a child disqualifies you from being straight edge. You can become straight edge at any point if you'd like. Straight edge can be interpreted in several ways, the most accepted is, not indulging in any substance that is supposed to increase your euphoria and pleasure. If Punk legitimately has insomnia and has sought treatment, I don't think that sleeping pills is the kind of thing you can hold against him. To our knowledge he doesn't use the pills to dull his senses, only to sleep. Afterall, the guy cracked his skull open and refused any form of anesthesia. So from everything I've heard, the guy is legit and has a legit medical problem. That's like saying I can't be straight edge if I took insulin.
