FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Cannabis is knocking at the NFL’s door, but it can’t get in.
Not yet, at least.
The home of the New England Patriots has a new sponsorship deal that will put a cannabidiol company’s hemp leaf logo on a water tower looming over the stadium and on a sign overlooking an entrance.
Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was on hand to announce the deal with Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place, a mall also controlled by Patriots owner Robert Kraft, that brings the banned substance to the doorstep of the NFL without violating league policies against it.
