Former Golden State Warriors player Al Harrington made some news recently when a clip of his interview with ex-NBA Commissioner David Stern went viral.
Stern said that marijuana “probably should be removed from the [banned substances] list” and also suggested that the issue could be opened up in the next round of labor agreements, perhaps matching legality of applicable state laws.
Obviously, this would be more important if Stern were still in charge, but it indicates a big shift in the general perception of pot and the acceptance of the legitimacy of medical marijuana.
