James has become a pioneer in asking the NFL for permission to use Marijuana as a painkiller. He spoke out about the dangers of opioids and how effective Marijuana can be with the show’s host Dr. Sanjay Gupta. He is one of two Miami Hurricanes alums hoping to be able to use Marijuana as a painkiller alternative.
James’ situation and his background were repeatedly highlighted throughout the show. He was initially given opioid painkillers after fracturing his ankle in a win, ironically over the Dolphins, on Monday Night Football in November 2013.
