Pot coming "in five years" to a team near you?

[top dawg]

An anonymous NFL GM is estimating that somewhere within five years, the league will allow weed.

I am somewhat skeptical, as the league seems hypersensitive to public pressure, and I could also see goody two-shoes congressmen trying to be a hindrance. But, I am all for it, not just for the NFL, but for everyone.

Free weed!

Now I don't smoke, but I don't see how you booze can be legal, and pot can't. I am sure that Goodell would earn some brownie points (maybe even the kind that Bacarri Rambo ate) if he gets the NFL to allow pot.

As of now, I guess teams will continue feigning public disappointment and/or outrage.

Wouldn't surprise me.  I think it'll be legal in a bunch of states within 5 years too.  Probably not at a federal level, but I think statewide marijuana legalization will become fairly commonplace. 

[KJ89]

Legalize it.

[rdog157h]

As my co worker always says "When was the last time you saw 2 pot heads about to fight". I don't smoke but you are right about alcohol being legal and not weed.

Somewhere a guy named Frank has a big grin on his face.

Makes no sense that it's illegal but you can smoke tobacco as freely as you want.

[MHS831]

The best scenario?  Make only PEDs illegal, but make injury settlements invalid if the player has drugs in his system when injured.

Think about it.  Players would get high to deal with pain.  Some might play high.

It's so stupid that guys careers get ruined over this. So many players do it and nobody in the NFL really cares.

 

The current policy isn't "don't smoke weed", it's "don't get caught" which is just retarded.

Not to mention them giving out codeine like candy and injecting pain killers like it's nothing.  The Lynch story was very telling.

These guys work hard, after a game a nice bong rip would be therapeutic.

If they can play hard on Sundays and practice hard during the week. Then who cares what they do.

[PanthersUnited]

5 years from now GMs are going to be looking at all these all pro players they passed up in the draft because of pot and say to themselves, " cant believe I didnt draft this kid simply because of pot.. Stupid!!"

Only dopes smoke dope.

I'm copyrighting that.

I agree.

It's incredibly stupid that morons are throwing away millions just to get high.
