Gregory worked his butt off last season. It showed on the field. He was starting to put it together.
Same with Josh Gordon in NE
I think they get a shot to play. The leash may be short but hopefully the get to work
Might be too little too late..... a million guys would have gave their left nut to have had their talent and chances...... no sympathy here
To me this is what makes their choices so unbelievable. Who in their right mind would do the same under those circumstances? The only logical explanation is they weren’t in their right mind.
They dont deserve to play, they should already be banned from the NFL.
Also what your suggesting is that the league should change rules and policy's just so a few bozo's can play too??
What about all the players that followed the rules? Is that fair to them? What about everyone else in America?
These NFL players were all or most of them babied and pampered and idolized, and given preferential treatment, all through HS and then college.
That is why they have a problem in the NFL where they are not pampered as much and have to abide by rules.
I am for legalization of weed for everyone , but not just a select group of athletes.
And on a lesser note , what about all the guys who didnt have star names or big potential, and failed a test and were then let go by teams?
No one cares about them.
Yet weed has an effect on mental illness as well. So you're saying someone that's only found relief from their mental illness through weed must stop for well over a month so the NFL's uninformed and illogical policy can be enforced?
I mean I know you look on in horror as medicinal marijuana gets it's due in state after state but you really should at least educate yourself on its benefits if not take a few tokens yourself to chill the hell out on your half-baked ideas on what marijuana is and isn't.
Life is hard, no one is forcing them to play in NFL are they? Again your saying certain players should be babied more than others.
Again you should talk about and work towards legalization for everyone not just some football players.
The British recently INCREASED it’s illegality (to class B, stuff like crack is class A) after finally accepting the wealth of medical advice that habitual use of today’s stronger weed significantly increases the risk of chronic mental disorders, particularly if smoked from before one’s mid-20s.
As to supposed medical benefits, there are none – I refer you to the biggest review of its kind, in the Pain Physician journal, Sept 2017 (of which the pdf is free online) “Efficacy of Cannabis-Based Medicines for Pain Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.” This looked at 43 – FORTY THREE – randomized clinical trials and found most of them found MJ showed absolutely no benefits over placebo, let alone even trying to see if they can out-do any established pain killers.
All these studys, whether good or bad results, are all flawed. People are different in many ways, other drugs they do , how they eat and sleep, genetic
traits, physical condition, mental condition, how their brains work and function before they ever use weed etc.
I can tell you that weed does help a person sleep better and more soundly, and it is a pain reliever, but only certain types of pain.
Weed is addictive mentally, our brains love pleasure more than life itself, and people can get addicted to anything that provides a pleasure that
person happens to like, it can be anything.
Weed also is addictive physically even though everyone thinks it isnt, it is mild compared to a heroin or alcohol addiction, but that doesnt matter.
The human body along with the brain can get addicted to many things, it is just you dont have severe withdrawal symptom which people
tend to associate with physical addiction.
Many ordinary people who have various aches and pains could benefit from legalization of weed, and by that I mean not just smoking it.
For example the common thing people use for pain relief is Nsaid which is in Ibuprofen and others, and that cannot be used on a regular basis
without causing liver or kidney damage. It says that on the bottles , but I knew a woman who I guess just never read that, and she took
4-8 a day every day for a long time and then she had the damaged organs and could no longer take the pills so she was in pain and had her life
shortened.
I think people could take a cannabis based pill for those types of aches and pains , and not worry about organ damage.
So I dont care so much about just a select group of football players, when many ordinary Americans could benefit from legalization of at least
medical products, and allow any company to do research. Right now it is my understanding that research is actually illegal too, that may not be enforced
much but it makes many companies shy away from it.
Also right now people in some states can get medical weed and products, but in other states people cant.
Same thing for just smoking , it is ok in some states but not others, and that isnt fair either.
People need to vote out long tenured congressmen in both state and national govt, and then things might change.
But as long as the same people who wont legalize it keep getting reelected, well common sense should tell you nothing
is going to change.
