Twenty-four states, along with the District of Columbia, have legalized medicinal marijuana, with more likely on the way. It’s time for the NFL to do the same.
Recently, former NFL offensive lineman Eben Britton told the New York Post he smoked marijuana regularly as a player, and was even high during games.
“NFL games I played stoned were some of the best games I ever played,” Britton said. “My performances were solid, and I felt really good after.”
His use of pot was not all about recreation. Rather, it was relief from the stressors of the game.
