We'll eventually get to marijuana legalization nationwide. It's just a matter of time.
This is a boneheaded policy though, regardless of how much of a heads-up players get. Weed is a hell of a lot less harmful than the fistfuls of painkillers some of these dudes take to get through the season.
I can understand the league discouraging hard drug use because of legitimate health risks they pose to players, but even then, the focus ought to be on treatment rather than punishment.
What the NBA does with "drugs of abuse" is some wild shyt. 2 year suspension like what Tyreke Evans got? That could be a death sentence for brehs who are legit struggling with addiction.
