Victory Formation Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just a random thought, hope I am not violating the tos and I am sorry if I am but I am awfully curious about this topic. Obviously marijuana is banned by the NFL, but I've wondered for quite some time if football players smoke because it relieves symptoms of CTE. Do any of you think this is possible? It would be pretty tragic if the NFL banned a substance that could benefit their players mental health, especially with something as serious as CTE. I know weed helps treat a myriad of illnesses from bipolar disorder all the way down to arthritis and inflammation. Could marijuana benefit players and should the NFL take it off its banned substances list? It would be a shame if the NFL was taking away something that could be beneficial to its players. Do you guys think weed could actually help the NFL? Thoughts? 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I got my doctor onto CBD oil, he takes it because of me. He hands out CBD pamphlets to all his patients now. Weed I rarely smoke, CBD is an every day thing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Weed and the nfl, it’s been rumored tons of players smoke and dodging testing is easy to work around for them as long as you never fail the one annual non/less random one, or combine one.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weed is a more potent mood enhancer though in my opinion, makes boring and mundane things fun and interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the CBD (which somewhat is new to me) will also help with the anxiety and depression? To the same degree? It’s an oil? How do you ingest it?

What medical school did he go to? LOL heroin? I don’t think that Henderson went to medical school but a good friend of mine Oncologist recommended weed for him with his chemo treatment. He went to medical school. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) 15 minutes ago, BringBackOrton said: “I take heroin for my anxiety and it works wonders for me.” Please stop. Medical Marijuana has helped people with Parkinson's, depression, tremors, anxiety and a number of other issues. I don't know if it would help in this case but please don't misinform people by substituting heroin for medical marijuana. Do some research.
