grass was the way to go for this former nfl player
Nate Jackson, the former Denver Broncos tight end from San Jose, credits marijuana with keeping his brain clean after his playing days and believes the NFL will have to allow the drug in the near future.
Jackson (inset), speaking at a marijuana business conference, said he avoided opiate painkillers as much as he could during his six-year career. He instead relied on marijuana rather than risk becoming addicted to prescription drugs as many of his contemporaries did.
“I feel like I exited the game with my mind intact,” Jackson said. “And I credit that to marijuana in a lot of ways and not getting hooked on these pain pills that are recklessly distributed in the league when a guy gets an injury.”
