Just show up in shape in TC and find out who gives "the call" to notify him when he has to cleanse the weed out of his system like other respected vets. Stepnoski confirmed he smoked throughout his career while skirting testing:
How about for pain? Did you smoke pot for that?
"Well, I never wanted to take painkillers if I could help it. They’d give them after surgery, and I had six surgeries on my knee. But I knew that painkillers were very powerful drugs and they’re potentially addictive, so as soon as the pain was bearable without them, I stopped using them. I just don’t like that stuff in my body if I don’t have to.
Pot would make me feel better, but I’m not going to say I was smoking it medicinally. We’re talking 10-12 years ago, and for most of the public marijuana wasn’t even on the radar as medicine yet. But after games, it definitely made me feel better."
