Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said on a CSN Bay Area podcast on Friday that he tried using medicinal marijuana in order to ease his chronic back pain. It didn't work for him, but Kerr said it was worth it because it's so much less harmful and addictive than the painkillers that are routinely prescribed.

The comments were treated as some kind of revelation, and there were quickly responses from around the league, including some support from Warriors forward Draymond Green.
