N/S Josh Gordon stepping away from Patriots.

Agreed. People are trying to make this about "legalizing weed in the NFL", which is totally missing the point of this whole Josh Gordon issue. The man has an addiction that is affecting his decision making. The NFL is just where he happens to work, currently. This is something that will follow him to ANY job that will employ him.

This incident didn't occur because weed is banned. It occurred because Josh Gordon is unable to control himself. Hopefully, he gets whatever help that he needs.

Very true! The fact of the matter is that using weed gets you suspended, period. Crazy, cause there's a ton of ways to get around it. And what's more, if a guy knows he's gonna get tested just stop using for a month or so. That's where the idiocy of Josh Gordon and his lack of mental make up comes into play. It's crazy, cause weed isnt like heroine, meth or even alcohol where people can become seriously dependent on it. As enjoyable as being lit all day may be, making multi-millions to play a kids game as an adult is worlds better to me. That's a telltale sign of where Josh Gordon's head is at. Gordon's been suspect ever since his Baylor days and he clearly hasnt changed. It doesnt matter how many excuses and sob stories you spit out of your mouth. What you do is louder than anything you can ever say. Yet another example of why character flags and off field issues are every bit as important as testing numbers and on field performance.
