Players aren't dopes for using medical marijuana

Steve Kerr's headaches were so bad that he saw spots. He had to grab the nearest wall or chair to keep from toppling over.

So Kerr did what anyone would do in that situation. He tried to stop the pain. He didn't care that it broke workplace rules.

His employer is the NBA, and his medication was marijuana.

Uh-oh.

Golden State's coach tried weed twice in the past 18 months. He's sorry to report that it did not help him deal with the agonizing complications from back surgery.

But Kerr has no regrets, NBA rules notwithstanding.
