Show Topic: The recent video of the NFL player smoking weed and speaking to his choice to “use” marijuana as his means to deal with pain and other associated issues connected to life as a NFL player, sparked a conversation we’d like to continue here.

What about those who are “using” a substance for medicinal purposes? Lastly, are they a bunch of hyprocites?
