All the opioids players often ingest like candy, that's cool though.

Yeah. It's way worse than shooting them up to the gills with pain killers just to trot them back onto the field asap.

He can make the line. But is one of the most stubborn commissioners in all of sports. He just needs to go.

If not smoked there's literally no harmful long term effects.

Those are to treat pain. I'm all for full legalization and I don't think marijuana is addictive or particularly unhealthy, but NFL players shouldn't be using marijuana or other performance enhancing drugs.

To be fair he's bound by some states and federal law, he can't advocate players using marijuana to deal with pain when it's federally illegal and some states still don't allow medicinal marijuana. Once those change if he still has the same opinion then he's just a moron. If anything the NFL and NHL should be leading the fight to get medicinal marijuana at the federal level.

That's nice. Now give us you're thoughts on his claims of it being addictive. And there a way to throw this criticism and not walk right into hypocrisy concerning their relationship to the alcohol industry?

Alcohol is a red herring and irrelevant to this discussion, so that will be ignored.

As for the addictive quality, yes, it is does have addictive symptoms in some people, especially regular users:
https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictive

Marijuana use disorders are often associated with dependence—in which a person feels withdrawal symptoms when not taking the drug. People who use marijuana frequently often report irritability, mood and sleep difficulties, decreased appetite, cravings, restlessness, and/or various forms of physical discomfort that peak within the first week after quitting and last up to 2 weeks.20,21 Marijuana dependence occurs when the brain adapts to large amounts of the drug by reducing production of and sensitivity to its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters.22,23

No, people are upset because given what the league permits usage of and takes advertising money to promote, him trotting out the health exuse was downright insulting

Nah, people are upset because they like their weed and want to live in deniable about how shitty it is for you. Goddell is completely right and people just don't want to hear it. Just because football is inherently unsafe doesn't mean he needs to sign off on completely unrelated activities that are also unsafe (and illegal in most parts of the U.S.).

The hell? He's just posting his opinions on the subject.

I somewhat agree and disagree with Baddell. They shouldn't make it allowable for players to ingest recreationally, but they should have medical marijuana available for players who choose it over other medications.

I am a pot smoker too, btw. And it is kinda addicting. It's hard to explain.

Anything can be addictive. Sugar, video games, sex..

Of course, moderation is the key. A guy who does nothing but get high all day every day isn't going to be productive in the NFL, but what's wrong with toking now and then?

If someone becomes addicted, it is physical. It may not be as powerful as other drugs, but like I said, anything can be an addiction. All addictions are a physical matter.

Why smoke it all if you're just as okay without it as you are with it?

It may not be an addiction for you and your brain structure, but it can be for someone else.

Saying marijuana isn't addicting is simply false. It's not as powerful as other drugs, but the potential is there.

it's impossible to understand something that isn't true

Perhaps you should do some research on the brain and its physical components before you talk out of your ass.

"I just wanna sit 'round, inhale smoke into mah lungs with a substance I am totally not addicted to! Not to mention, it costs a lot of money, so getting government assistance to put towards my fix is awesome! The system is unfair after all. People see it as a hierarchy but I know the truth. The ladder to the next level has been kicked down! All I have is my weed, my munchies, and hopes that the government will give me more money for more pot."
