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.
No it hasn't. Federal prohibition has prevented large scale peer reviewed research into cannabis and it possible applications. Look it up. You can say this and that but you're strangely not citing anything. I will. Noonan, D. 2016. Scientists want the Smoke to clear on Medical Marijuana Research. Scientific American. 15 April 2016. On the very top it says the DEA refused to reclassify it but would lessen restrictions on research. The rest speaks about how the restrictions have affected research in the past.
This is all wholly off topic so this will be my last post about it. But just think about all the potential treatments we have ignored for decades because cannabis has been classified with Heroin. It's pretty ridiculous.
