This person is proud of you for your continued recovery and I hope that you stay strong and have a very healthy and happy life, my friend.I think its funny to see everyone criticizing David Irving. The thing is, i bet half of these critics didnt even watch/listen to his video because in all honesty, he made some great points. Yes, he is passing up on a lot of money and a potentially great NFL career because the guy is a damned monster when hes out there. But in regards to what he said and why he is "quitting", i fully support him.
As a former opioid addict, first the pills then heroin (now in recovery, thank the good lord), what the NFL is trying to do by pushing Big Pharma's idiotic agenda and act like opioids are the answer to pain while punishing people for smoking weed to try and deal with the same pain is absolute bull****.
If David Irving can effectively deal with his pain/injuries from playing football through the use of marijuana, then i am all for him doing it and i think the NFL should be as well. Anything is better than getting physically dependent on opiods and benzos (which i have no idea why the NFL allows either, that is appalling to me as well.)
I think most people criticizing Irving have no idea how bad the opioid epidemic is right now and how many people it is killing by the day. I believe with the entire Purdue pharma case going on right now and the negative publicity they are receiving, more people will get familiar with just how corrupt that industry truly is and hopefully will force the NFL to finally change their damn policy on weed and stop pushing painkillers like water to the players.
That struggle is real.
