I hang out with, or used to hang out with, about 5 guys that played. Every single one of them uses it (not always like some). They said that well over half of the locker room uses it regularly. If you get caught normally, it’s because you are an idiot. Henderson is a bit of a weird case. He didn’t hide it because he said that was all that helped with Crohn’s. The rest of the leagues look the other way. As always, the NFL is the last guy to sit at the table. It does then ZERO good to fight it at this point. It will be gone in the next CBA for sure. The point being, marijuana use is about reason 3,654,754,357 that you wouldn’t want a player. 87% Eh? Did you know 78.674% of people can make up statistics?

I just don’t want a player who puts weed above football as Seantrel has done SEVERAL times throughout it his life. But are you okay with the COUNTLESS players (and coaches Sean Payton) that put the far more dangerous option first?

It’s closer to 90% according to some players. From my knowledge that’s closer. there is just no danger. You get tested in the offseason and then again, with notice, if I understand it correctly. It’s really an idiot test. Alcohol, nicotine, opioids, etc.. are infinitely more dangerous. Regardless, it all be gone soon. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/martellus-bennett-estimates-that-nearly-90-percent-of-nfl-players-smoke-marijuana/amp/ Just now, Phil The Thrill said: Dangerous options such as?????

Locomark Posted November 22, 2019 Posted November 22, 2019 On 11/18/2019 at 7:45 PM, Mr. WEO said: He didn't get a raw deal.. He chose to use a banned substance. This has been discussed ad nauseam. He made his choice. The outcome was inevitable. It’s already been debated heavily among national commentators that medicinal weed is likely to be unbanned since it is now legal when a doctor prescribes it in a ton of states. Also it’s likely to be unbanned at the next CBA. You can’t have society make it legal and then your employer suspend you for it. They aren’t driving heavy machinery !!!!

A player in the drug testing program due to repeat offenses, that's something a team has to consider. Oh absolutely but not because he uses weed. It’s because he could be suspended because of the league’s antiquated approach to it. There are 9 states left (I think) where it’s totally illegal. It’s going away. The risk is, if he fails another test he’s suspended. If he fails a test, you cut him. Problem solved 1

Technically you can...employers can choose to ban certain things, they do it all the time. Not many employers allow you to drink alcohol at work and that is legal.
