To treat pain, nine of 10 NFL players would consider medical marijuana over the legal opiods that NFL doctors prescribe and often inject into them.
Additionally, seven of 10 players say they don’t feel safety is a top priority of the League when it comes to pain management.
By the findings released by an online medical marijuana seller’s survey of 152 current and past players, nearly 70 percent said they’re concerned about the addictive potential of the pain-killers the League administers.
Marijuana is a banned substance under the NFL’s labor pact that was collectively bargained in 2011.
