There are so many pot smokers in the NFL that ESPN.com has an "All-Weed" team listed on its website. It's an open secret that players can smoke weed as long as they pass the preseason drug test. The hypocrisy of the NFL handing out Percocet and Oxycontin like candy while suspending players for using cannabis is astounding. There are more than a few studies that show cannabis to be an effective medicine as both a pain reliever and an anti-inflammatory. Not to mention that cannabis is also a known neuroprotectant, as in: IT PROTECTS YOUR BRAIN. Considering all the concussions and CTE in the NFL, a thinking person might wonder if, instead of banning pot, the NFL should make cannabis use mandatory.
Fortunately, many pro football players are starting to speak out about medical marijuana. Former Bears QB Jim McMahon used cannabis to kick his Percocet habit. Former Ravens tackle Eugene Monroe just donated $80,000 toward medical marijuana research.
The NFL's drug policy is determined by negotiations between the team owners and the NFL Players Association union. Perhaps the players can get cannabis removed from the list of banned substances when they negotiate a new contract in 2020. Until then, players will have to be smart (looking at you, Josh Gordon) and not get caught.
