Like all crimes, it doesn't have significant ramifications until you are caught.

Try getting across the USA border with a cocaine conviction.

If a team wants to dump a poor performer bad contract that is a regular coke user does not seem to be that hard of a setup to get them caught. How did Mike Richards get caught at the border?

Really bad for growing the game if the NHLPA comes out and says that a solid portion of their association is using a schedule 1 narcotic.
You addressed my point in exactly one line of your post, and the answer to that is - since when does the NHLPA worry about growing the game, or the rep of the NHL?

And even if the NHLPA doesn't make that point, the player might. And the team would rightly be concerned about it.
