In a way, the NFL's stance on marijuana is admirable. The league holds it in the face of science, rationality, evolving societal norms and the laws of states home to two of its teams.
Forget all that, the league says. If you get caught smoking weed, you will be suspended — even if you're doing it to combat a debilitating intestinal disorder. Just have our doctors prescribe you opiates instead.
That's what Bills tackle Seantrel Henderson found out this week. He's been suspended four games for a positive test, and he's not going to appeal, agent Brian Fettner told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
