Karl-Anthony Towns Believes NBA Should Legalize Medical Marijuana

Last month, former NBA commissioner David Stern said, in an interview with Uninterrupted, that he believes marijuana should be removed from the NBA's banned substance list. On Tuesday, while speaking to ESPN's Nick Friedell, Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns said he agrees.

"I agree with David Stern with marijuana," the 22-year-old said. "You don't have to actually make it "Mary J" [or] "Half Baked." You don't have to do it like that, but you could use the [chemical] properties in it to make a lot of people better. That's something that Adam Silver has to do, that's out of my control, but maybe legalizing marijuana.
