NFL and medical marijuana: A Q&A with former Eagles OL Todd Herremans - Philadelphia Eagles Blog- ESPN

Herremans: It really is a sad topic. One in seven NFL players leaves the league with some sort of struggle with opioids. That is a horrific stat. I have seen teammates scouring the locker room looking for anyone with an opiate they could take just to make them stop shaking and feel normal so they can go out and practice. I only had a couple experiences firsthand seeing this in the locker room, and it's because they were people I was close to, but it was enough to know that it's a league-wide issue.

You would think the NFL would be more open to an alternative?
