I personally don't care about the legality issue. Weed is illegal but its safer and healthier than any meds, booze or cigarettes. Stupid NFL rule, sure. NBA is much more lax on it I think.

Nevertheless, the NFL rules are very clear. Morality and scientific arguments don't matter here. Rules are clear and smoking risks loss of millions of dollars for these guys. It is terribly stupid and irrational to continue a habit with that on the line. Especially since NFL players only have a few years to peak and make their money.
