Ahh seems you're right: Still, could have been something that effected him before and simply went undiagnosed. Either way the fact the NFL still suspends for weed but not alcohol is a bit ridiculous.
It's possible, but I think it's a lot more likely that he's just a pothead, which I wouldn't knock anyone for if they weren't in a situation where they could screw up their life by using.
Crohn's can go years before actually being diagnosed. It's something that festers over time.....not just suddenly. Chances are he was feeling extreme pain in college too.
LOL chances are he was always a pothead and it had nothing at all to do with being sick.....but when he was sick, he was still a pothead.
Have you ever met anyone with Crohn's? My roommate in college had it. It can be devastating. When it flares up, it can be some of the most excruciating pain you can feel as a person. My roommate was "diagnosed" his senior year of high school, but he said he'd been feeling that same kind of pain for 2-3 years before that, without doctors being able to determine anything.
Pointing out that mar1juana can be used for the pain of Crohn's or that Crohn's can be extremely painful isn't really relevant to the conversation, I never said that it can't be useful to that or that the disease isn't painful, only that he never had any symptoms while back in college when he was suspended 3 times for smoking weed. You are making an excuse for him based on literally nothing.....and excuse that he never even made himself. The kid just likes smoking weed....and now he does so to help with the pain of Crohn's. If it wasn't for him being an NFL player, there would be nothing wrong with it but you have to question the intelligence of a person who gets suspended from playing football 5 different times in college and the pros for the same damn thing.
The mar1juana laws in this country are the real bullshit especially when considering alcohol and prescription drug ads on everyone's (kids watch sports) television 24x7.
It's bobby. There's a story he already has built and won't stray from it. The dude is a pot head according to bobby. That's all it could be.
I don't disagree....but at the same time, how many times are you going to let something stupid like that cause you problems in your life before you just stop doing it till you can do so without the hassle?
