Eugene Monroe has become a voice for the use of medicinal marijuana in the National Football League. Monroe recently raised this voice for The Player’s Tribune. In his article “Getting Off The T-Train” he outlines his stance. Before reading Monroe’s thoughtful essay it felt like he had a strong point. After reading what he had to say, I completely agree with Monroe.
Monroe’s article details the use of opioid pain killers to treat the brutality of playing in the NFL. He argues that marijuana is the answer. He touches on his emotional connection to this issue and how he has seen drug addiction ruin lives.
