Legalize Marijuana...Medicinal uses for NFL?
#21
Marijuana is a Schedule I drug.  Which means according to the DEA/U.S. government it is worse than cocaine, methadone, PCP, oxycodone, morphine, Xanax, etc.  Before the NFL would ever permit marijuana use the U.S. government needs to relax the restrictions to at least a Schedule II then maybe we might get better research into possible medicinal uses.

Regarding addiction, we have a epidemic of narcotic addiction in this country.  There is a difference between addiction and physical dependence.  If you take narcotics regularly you will become physically dependent upon them and if not weaned off will go through withdrawal.  Addiction is when people misuse or seek controlled substances inappropriately.  It can occur while under a physician's care.

The NFL is an organization which denied repeated blows to the head had any detrimental affects upon a person's health for years.  Not only did they deny it, they actively tried to suppress the research.  So I wouldn't expect the NFL to act upon any research related to medicinal marijuana use.
