Evgeny Kuznetsov has a video of him in a room with cocaine lines on the table and tests positive for cocaine at the World Championships. Caps do nothing.

NHL teams only tolerate drug addiction that can lead to lifelong debilitation if it means you are getting on the ice to play. Then you can turn a blind eye and you can implicitly encourage it.
You can also turn a blind eye if the player is good. You cannot turn a blind eye if the player sucks. Those are the rules.
