    Is the NFL ready to embrace "medical marijuana", to justify the already high usage among its players?

    This does not seem to fit into your theory that marijuana smokers are infrequently successful in life.

    They have incredible physical attributes. These attributes are apparent early to others, who push them, and depend on them.

    Let's see how successful they are when their playing days end, and they don't have anyone invested in their success.

    And, we don't know how successful they would have been absent marijuana usage. It could still be holding them back. They just overcome it because of their physical abilities.

    50 percent is bullshit. If it was 50 percent have ever smoked, I'd probably buy that. But 50 percent smoke pot regularly? Bullshit...

    I know you're being sarcastic, but if we're talking short-term vs. long-term ...
