It's ridiculous that there's such a stiff penalty for smoking pot, when the effects are so minimally different from consuming alcohol (a totally accepted practice in all major sports). The guy made enough money to retire on in his first season in the NFL, and everything he's doing in his own personal off-season (ie. studying holistic medicine, exploring foreign landscapes, etc.) is only adding positive things to his personal character, while adding very, very little "baggage" to his personal career -- I just can't believe the NFL is so opposed to this kind of naturopathy. Or, I mean obviously I can believe it -- I just disagree with it.
They have can't players going around and breaking laws without being punished.

Until it is legal in the U.S. they cannot, and should not allow it.
