A day after admitting in a podcast interview that he has tried marijuana for back-pain relief, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he hopes the NBA’s upcoming Collective Bargaining Agreement allows players to use cannabis for medicinal purposes.
“The league should look into the use of medicinal marijuana for pain relief,” Kerr said during his pregame news conference Saturday night. “As far as recreational, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about pain relief, and what’s best for our players’ health. That’s what should be in the CBA, and that’s what our owners and the league and the players union should be most concerned with.
