"I guess maybe I could even get in some trouble for this, but I've actually tried [marijuana] twice during the last year and a half when I've been going through this pain, this chronic pain that I've been dealing with," Kerr told host Monte Poole. "A lot of research, a lot of advice from people, and I have no idea if I would -- maybe I would have failed a drug test. I don't even know if I'm subject to a drug test or any laws from the NBA, but I tried it, and it didn't help at all. But it was worth it, because I'm searching for answers on pain. But I've tried painkillers and drugs of other kinds, as well, and those have been worse. It's tricky."

"I would hope so, and I'm not a pot person. It doesn't agree with me. I tried it a few times, and it did not agree with me at all. So I'm not the expert on this stuff. But I do know this: If you're an NFL player, in particular, and you got lot of pain, I don't think there's any question that pot is better for your body than Vicodin," Kerr, 51, said. "And yet, athletes everywhere are prescribed Vicodin like it's Vitamin C, like it's no big deal. And there's like this perception in our country that over-the-counter drugs are fine but pot is bad. Now, I think that's changing. "You're seeing that change in these laws that you're talking about in different states, including California. But I would just hope that sports leagues are able to look past the perception. I'm sure the NFL is worried that their fans are going to go, 'All the players are potheads.'"

That's a lot more than just asking for the NBA to soften its stance.

Doesn't the NBA already not give a shite about weed? Like they don't test for it I'm preyyy sure

It says in the article that players aren't suspended for using recreational drugs until their 3rd failed test.

before this last CBA, they used to be allowed to smoke their gourds out on the team private charters.
I believe it was this last cba where the NBA finally came down on pot.

Klay Thompson has never missed a game for smoking pot. The league cannot be too tough on pot

Klay is a smoker? That would explain his rather nonchalant demeanor
