Oh what a horrible thing. 

But it has been studied in the US and other countries for a long time.  It has been proven in studies to be helpful for a number of things, and also been proven in studies to damage the lungs and memory.  The merits for an individual need to be weighed case by case.  But someone on a rookie NFL contract has the means to travel to see any doctor willing to diagnose them and write a prescription.  He easily could have done it in the over the course of the last year while he was suspended.  He chose not to take that option, so it really must be disregarded that it is a medical need for him.  If it were truly medical need, he could get the diagnosis and prescription and take it to the NFL.
