No wonder The Broncos are so good

Nearly two-thirds of NFL players in an ESPN survey say they feel the use of chemical painkillers would be reduced if the league approved marijuana for the same use.

2/3 say the testing system isn't hard to beat

Have seen a lot of people say that the players don't use it before games and it would hurt performance.

22 percent of the players have seen others use before games

I have always said sports could lead the way for recovery in healthcare. PEDs, MJ, etc would be developed/perfected if the leagues would allow players to use. Private companies would dump a ton of cash into R&D to facilitate faster recovery times.

So they're basically ratting on themselves and telling the NFL their drug test sucks.

I'm sure all they do is tell the player to go in a stall and piss in a cup, which would make it very easy to pass. But why would you even say anything? Just keep pouring fake piss in every time and don't say anything or answer any questions.

Next week's headline will be "NFL cracks down on their drug testing methods." Then, half the league would get suspended and they'd all cry how the NFL is being too harsh and how they can't feed their kids and baby mommas since they're suspended.

absolutely

it is utterly retarded that NFL players, or anyone really, can't smoke weed as a pain killer, but can take strong pain killers that do much more harm and/or damage

its retarded

its why Ricky Williams quit

I remember in an article on Favre's painkiller addiction, he said he didn't shite for a week at one point.

You don't think the NFL knows how easy their tests are to beat?

Very few

But don't tell that to the stoney baloneys. They'll say you're lying anyway.

Opiate painkiller abuse is an epidemic in this country that kills thousands of people every year. Marijuana is an effective pain reliever without harmful side effects. Pot may not work for everyone, but I would sure rather see people smoking a little weed than overdosing on oxys.

I sure as hell would. I can't because of work. I also can't take any muscle relaxers because of work. My back, specifically thoracic spine muscles, have been fricked for almost a decade now and I have tried every single form of therapy, yoga, stretching, foam rolling, trigger point, meditation, getting fricking drunk as hell, etc that you can think of and it's still there. You have no idea how relieved I would be if my company would allow us to smoke. But I will never be able to because of the war on drugs and because of how idiotic, arse backwards, and downright hypocritical our ignorant country is when it comes to drugs and freedom in general. OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I certainly fricking wish I could smoke a bowl at the end of the day to get some relief. But I can't. Such is life. The pain will continue and that's just how she goes.

I have never smoked marijuana but I have to take painkillers daily for my back problems. I hate taking
them but it is the only way I can function until I heal. Problem is I'm getting used to the painkillers and know when the time comes to stop I will have to be winged off these damn things.
Would marijuana help with the pain that I'm suffering from? (multiple broken vertebra) I really have no idea.
