Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin has added his voice to calls for the NBA and other professional sports leagues to investigate allowing players to use medical marijuana as a means to manage pain.
"It doesn't really affect me, but so many guys would probably benefit from it and not take as many painkillers, which have worse long-term effects," Griffin said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. "So I would vote yes. I just think it makes sense."
Griffin's comments followed remarks by Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll in January that the NFL should look into medicinal marijuana as a means of taking the best possible care of its players.
