Cowboys News: David Irving Defends Marijuana Usage, Blasts NFL's Rules

Dallas Cowboys defensive end David Irving made his stance on the NFL's policy on marijuana clear in a profanity-filled rant on Instagram.

After posting a picture of himself on the social media site, Irving responded to a fan's comment that called him a "druggie" with this statement, via the Dallas Morning News (warning: contains NSFW language):

"Check this. Y'all wanna judge and say what's right or wrong. These guys prescribe me Xanax bars, Ambien and painkillers. Some of us, like myself, have been smoking weed since [I was 12 years old, and I've] never been in trouble with the law.
