NFL Super Star Claims League Is "In Cahoots With Big Pharma" - It's The Reason For Ban

• True Activist

Despite the proven benefits of cannabis, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell asserts its prohibition is 'in the interest of the players.' But, as McMahon flatly stated, "That's BS."

Cannabis was responsible for ending his long-term use of dangerous narcotic painkillers, which he used to treat debilitating pain resulting from multiple injuries while playing football. McMahon claims players are pushed into taking pills for a specific reason — one that has nothing to do with their care.

"They want you taking their pills," the outspoken former star told Gray. "I think they're in cahoots with big pharma. My whole career they were pushing pills on me. For whatever ailment you had, they had a pill for it and that's the reason they're demonizing this plant the way they are."

"You wouldn't have these problems, with all these guys with their head injuries, these kinds of things, their joints and stuff like that. This stuff is so much better for you, there's no side effects, it doesn't kill anybody, there's no documented cases of people dying, but there's hundreds of thousands of people dying every year from these pills."

Throughout his career, McMahon suffered numerous concussions and other injuries which left him in severe pain, and caused memory loss, vision, and speech problems — symptoms only covered up by dangerous, legal prescription meds. He feels strongly medical marijuana would be the safer option for current and former players.

So rampant is the league's pill-pushing, as John Vibes previously reported for The Free Thought Project, "last year federal drug agents raided a number of NFL teams under suspicion of illegally dispensing legal drugs to their players."
