The NFL doesn’t care about these guys though. He is stepping away to take care of his mental health. He smokes the green stuff to help with that (as do other players). But rather than the NFL actually look to help these guys who use the herb to help with mental health, they ban the substance and fine/suspend the player, showing that they don’t give a damn about mental health, or the player.
I feel bad for guys who use weed to calm down. They have probably been using it for some time, and it’s a hard cycle to break if it’s your go to of choice.
