Doctors in the NFL are investigating whether THC is an option as a painkiller for players.
This makes too much sense. Look, I’m not advocating recreational use, but Marijuana use wouldn’t blow out guys’ kidneys or get them killed of an overdose. The NFL remains the most popular league in the United States, but that could all disappear if a marquee player died of a painkiller overdose.
The opioid crisis is discussed a lot, but I’m very sure the NFL has a drug problem of its own, and its painkillers.
