A couple of days ago, I brought to you news that the NFLPA was forming a new committee on pain management that is going to look into a number of alternatives to that which the players currently have available to them, and while it is just one of several alternatives tentatively being looked at, the headline has been, of course, the use of marijuana as a pain management device.
Now, Pittsburgh Steelers NFLPA player representative Ramon Foster recently spoke to USA Today about the topic and made a plea for further, sincere efforts to not only explore the use of marijuana as an option, but also for greater lenience on players who are caught using the drug.
