NFL Alumni Spreading the Word about Medical Marijuana

Former Miami NFL Superstars Spread The Word About Medical Marijuana

Two former NFL members, Ricky Williams of the Miami Dolphins, and Willis McGahee, who started with the Miami Hurricanes to go on to play for the Browns, Ravens, Broncos and the Bills, are joining the growing list of athletes and celebrities who are speaking out on the benefits of medical cannabis. McGahee is widely known for being in superb shape, even having his training partners harnessing him to a Ford F150 and pulling it for 30 seconds at a time as a workout. During his time as a Hurricane, he famously injured his knee leading him to miss the 2003 NFL season. He’s slated to speak at the upcoming NFL and Medical Marijuana Conference in Miami to share his experiences with cannabis products that he used to manage his pain and inflammation.

40-year-old Williams, who retired in 2004, is another vocal advocate for cannabis stating that he’s interested in fighting the “lies and half-truths about this plant”. According to him when he retired the medical marijuana movement didn’t exist so he was labeled as the former player who decided to give up and smoke pot all day. Now that cannabis is being considered as a feasible alternative to addictive opioids more and more people are getting on board.

Williams is very open about his usage and makes sure he’s clear about monitoring marijuana use for medical purposes to see who ones body reacts. He even keeps a journal detailing his intake, and conscientiously combines it with alternative treatments like massage and acupuncture.

Ricky Williams spoke about marijuana at a recent conference with two other retired NFL players. It was reportedly well known that during his NFL career he suffered from an anxiety disorder which often caused him to give interviews in a tinted mask. Though he didn’t specify the reason that he began using cannabis, whether it was for physical pain or to treat his anxiety, he is now a spokesperson for alternative medicine and is regularly booked to speak on the subject.
