Pat McAfee & Chris Long Talk Why They Used Marijuana In The NFL

@@jameycockrell5481 coming from a lazy procrastinator, I definitely agree with you. I'm naturally lazy, and I hate it. No matter how much I want to do something, I procrastinate until the very last second, and then rush to get it done. I have been smoking Marijuana for about 10 years now, and maybe 6 smoking almost every day, and most of the time Marijuana actually gets me up and going. I'll definitely admit, there are times where Marijuana compounds my laziness, but I used to leave high school, just about every day junior and senior year, at the end of the day, go get stoned with a few buddies, and then hit the weight rooms for about an hour a day. It actually kind of connects something in my brain that leads me to be surprisingly more active. Moral of the story; if you're an adult, you should try it for yourself, and make your own decisions based on how it affects you, because it clearly affects a lot of people very differently.

[@blackadder5711]

First up love the show, love hearing the player perspective on things to. That said as a health professional (20 odd years experience) who’s worked in elite/professional sport, I’m very concerned by some of the comments made in this clip, but they’re more than worth a discussion. No issues with points being made about the cannabis/CBD etc, a lot more concerned by the pain relieving shots chat and the influence of non-medically trained coaches trying to influence the professional to administer something that’s potentially dangerous. I see how you found it funny, but there’s real world consequences to these discussion between coaches and medical staff, and these discussion happen all the time so it’s worth shining a light on them. The crux of it is if it goes wrong, it’s the medical guys getting struck off and losing their career. Don’t do what the coach says, you could potentially lose your job. How about discussing that perspective? I’ve been in those positions. To protect individuals I’ll not go into detail, but I had coach of an international team wanting me to put a guy on the pitch following their second loss of consciousness head injury in a short period of time. I should point out the second episode was in the same game they wanted me to put them back into. I get his reasons, there was a major world tournament to be played in 4 weeks and he wanted his team to get pitch time. My reasons were I didn’t want the guy to die. I saw your other clip about Christian Eriksen being resussed pitch side. Sadly been in that position too on TV. The point I’m making is I get that players/coaches have their view and reasons. Let’s respect the medical team and not put them in no win situations when ultimately they’re the guys who have your back, and are concerned about your welfare even when you finish playing, not just whether you win that match or not. Where’s the coach when you’re retired and physically fucked cos you did some of those things to make a game? Do you want the guy giving you what you and the coach want, or the guy who’s potentially going to save your life one day, or make a decision to keep you healthy in retirement? Worth a thought folks.

They will lose their job anyway if the coach tells them to give the shot and they refuse . So either way they are getting the shot

Marijuana was originally banned due to lobbying from the timber industry, because the plant would put a strain on their rope industry. This stigma against marijuana got worse under Reagan, because he connected hardcore drug addicts to stoners by saying weed is a gateway drug to meth, pcp, etc. All that said I agree that people can smoke too much, won’t die just do stupid things, but much less dangerous imo than someone who excessively drinks.
