It's absolutely better that they're potheads rather than hopelessly addicted to pills (an item given out like candy by football teams on several levels). Perhaps smoking weed is their way of passively saying they're concerned about life after football. I agree with you I'd rather someone use marijuana. But as long as it's a rule and you can get suspended you're an idiot as a player to do it. If it's that important then at the next contract negotiate it.
August 8, 201610 yr How good is the weed that you use it (assumption being made here) even though you know you have an upcoming test? You are putting MILLIONS at risk for weed? Is it THAT good? Yes and no. I'd say it is hard for players to resist when they all know all of the potheads in the league. I think the dumb ones get caught. The smart ones puff puff pass.
