People will act like he is some nut, but he is as human as they come. If it wasnt for arbitrary weed laws, he prolly would have never been a scofflaw, idk. Hang strong Josh, the world aint fair and you are an amazing wide receiver, penalized for smoking weed. The league is a joke.
At least the Patriots should be finished now-- Wonder how quick the team folds now--
I cant see BRADY sticking around much longer-- GRONK is done- NO wideouts-- Edeleman is getting older--

Oh Dr. Meatballs-
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your offices when you tell someone who is bipolar/ADHD/ADD/panic or anxiety attack type to meditate, should go over really well when half of them already do
No one knows what the cause of all this is, could be related to lasting affects of addiction (drugs, alcohol, gambling, shopping, sex, etc), technology, too much instant information or disinformation, chemical imbalance, etc...my guess is a combination of both. Said it several times here I think some of it really fired up when so much was available to us all at once like watching several different games or shows at the same time.
Ironically every time I've smoked weed I've basically gone into panic mode, so no good. But most people my age bracket either smoke it to combat anxiety, take meds for anxiety, meditate...usually some combination of that.
Just in recent years did I learn so many people I've known do various things for anxiety, mostly because it's finally been acceptable to bring it up in casual conversation
Weren't you crowning them SB champs two weeks ago?
Sammy speaks of mental health the same way people who were born into billionaire families talk about poor people and how they should just work harder to have more money bc its that easy!
Also, while I agree with most of you about weed, therea are 2 things:
1. whether its a good rule or bad rule, its a rule, and if you cant abstain from weed for millions of dollars, that is a problem
but more importantly
2. A few media members on twitter are insinuating that everyone just assumes its weed, but that is not actually the case
I can 't get on board with a word you are saying. That work comparison is particularly bad. If I eat a peanut I am fine. If someone who has an allergy eats it, they could hyperventilate and die. That isn't because I have more spirit. Mental health is the exact same thing and I think you should educate yourself and realize that depression and anxiety are no different than other medical conditions
When I'm going through a panic attack, believe me, I'd love nothing more than to meditate or slow the brain down. Feels like the heart is jumping out my chest...doctor says, no, your heart rate isn't changing whatsoever, it's your brain. I bring up that I'm very good at slow down like meditation/relaxation but at those moments, I simply can't because it's beyond slowing down. He replies the brain is working way too fast for anything like that to be effective then, it's likely you have something neurological that needs a little fixing. We are on the same page.
Amazing, it's been a ton better. Not like I don't still meditate a few times a week, but have seen the effects when I miss the pills for a couple days. It sucks.

I'd even take it a step farther and if the weed is helping him with mental illness, good on him for choosing it over the millions an NFL contract offers. Good for society too.

Exactly. If the NFL can’t see that weed is better than the pharmaceuticals they have no problem pumping into their athletes, then they’re even dumber than we already think they are.
Ever consider perhaps the NFL is making money and in a business deal with BIG PHARMA to use only their approved drugs???
Weed wouldnt pay the NFL any money- but BIG PHARMA surely has a deal where NFL somehow profits off these pain killer drugs etc?
Sure, I’m sure everyone has considered that. It’s doubtful they’d be getting enough money from anyone to make it worth their while...they print money for fun. The doctors they employ are just another cog in the machine...that’s all it is.

Several years ago I smoked a snow cap, that was not performance enhancing at all.
Woke up on the floor next day after the sun was setting as opposed to rising
It must be related to money for the league--
Jake Plummer many retired players with really bad injuries swear by the fact that weed allows them to live normal lives-- to be able to play with their kids etc..
Weed is not a performance enhancing substance per say-- IT was just illegal because of BIG PHARMA--
Who is JOSH GORDON hurting by doing weed? Where is the social malaise that he is creating? Where are the victims?
WHat is he doing wrong by experimenting with his consciousness levels???
Its a ridiculous stance that Weed can be terrible and they sell a MYTH that weed is bad for you, then get Mr CNN doctor Sanjay Gupta to bold face lie about the benefits of weed-- He lied about everything-- He knew the truth and would sell whichever way his CNN bosses told him to sell-- CNN doctors zero credibility
I read that i believe it was the NBA or NFL that many players play stoned? I think it was NFL----
I wonder if UFC fighter fight stoned? Your body would feel relaxed and things would feel slower--
Might be good or might not be aggressive enough.

I don’t see why it must be related to money for the league though, that doesn’t make much sense. The doctors are employed by the teams, many of those doctors have the same mentality when it comes to weed vs pharmaceuticals, so they prescribe the pills. Add in the leagues stance on pot and there you have it. No need for any money from big pharma. It’s not always a conspiracy.
Responsible human being degraded for being...responsibleand yet another ....

NBA doesn't test for weed, NFL does as if it weren't obvious. Go figure.
Sammy the snow cap woulda been a problem anywhere because it had a "performance enhancer" on top of the one hitter...knocked me into next year
