For years, since the institution of testing for pot, the NFL has opted to suspend players for testing positive for THC, former Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams knows this all too well. Now under the possible new CBA, the NFL is going to go a lot lighter with its penalties for positive testing.
According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the league will eliminate game suspensions tied to failed tests of THC.
This is probably the best thing that the NFL can do and frankly it is long overdue. Personally, I have never tried it but our country is allowing it for personal use and medical use legally in some states so why should the NFL fine and suspend players for using it?
