Ricky Williams believes the NFL will continue to make changes to its drug polices as it learns more about cannabis. On3 recently spoke to the former NFL running back about the NFL potentially making additional changes to its polices after doing so last year.
“It’s to the point where it’s lax enough where the players aren’t complaining,” Ricky Williams said. “So they found a sweet spot, and it might stay there until a player or players take a stand and say, ‘This is important for us.’
“I’m idealistic here, but being a professional football player, being a cannabis advocate, it makes sense to me that the NFL should give players, should facilitate players having every reasonable means to be able to take care of themselves. So my hope in the future, the same way Kevin O’Neill, our head trainer (for the Miami Dolphins), would walk down the aisle of the airplane and hand out Vicodin and Ambien that people might have, or THC capsules or gummies or something that honors people’s choice and how they take care of themselves.”
