Former New York Giants Opens a New Window. running-back-turned-entrepreneur Tiki Barber says despite the NFL’s tough policies surrounding marijuana use, back when he played the game the league's tests were easy to beat.
“We always used to call it like the ‘dummy test’ because you know when the test is going to happen so just be clean and as long as you’re not in the program you can probably get away with it even if they technically know that it’s happening,” Barber told FOX Business.
Barber, who has worn many different hats since retiring from the NFL in 2007, has since launched an investment firm that plans to back young marijuana and cannabis startups in an effort to help them navigate through unfolding legal regulations.
The company called Grove Group Management launched last year with his business partner Kevin Shin and has already signed on many small business owners. Opens a New Window.
“It’s simply a business opportunity,” Barber added. “We wanted to put a group together that could attack this cannabis space in an intelligent way that makes sense for not only the business opportunity but also for minority communities and create a message of social progress.”
The 43-year-old former athlete, who admits he is not a marijuana user but does dabble with CBD-infused products for pain management says change is needed surrounding the legalization of marijuana in both the NFL and across the country to help fight the opioid crisis.

Mr.Bill Bates is what all Dallas Cowboys player should be like. 53 of him on a team, you could prolly could take over a small country.
...BUT seriously, guys like Billy Bates are what championship teams all have on the roster. Many are obscure,but the team knows who they are. I think at linebacker...we got a stud in LVE that has the Billy Bates mindset...just a down home badass...and loves tackle football. I think Kavon Frazier has some of that going on too. You can tell the guys who love the game. Give me those guys all day long.
