Alright, so the other day, I was scrolling through some forums, and this topic about NBA players and weed came up. Got me curious, you know? So, I decided to dig in and see what’s up. I mean, it’s 2024, and things are changing fast with the whole legalization thing.
My Little Experiment
First thing I did? I just started Googling. Simple stuff like “NBA players smoking weed” and “NBA weed policy.” Man, there was a TON of stuff. News articles, old interviews, player statements – you name it.
I spent that first day just reading through everything. I started jotting down names of players who’ve been open about it, like, you know those who talked about using it for pain or anxiety.
Organizing the Chaos
Next, I started to organize all this info. I made this simple list:
- Players who’ve talked about using it: I’m not gonna name any names for this post, but I wrote a couple down, for research purposes.
- Old NBA policy vs. New: Because it seems they have change the rules.
- General opinions: What fans and analysts were saying online.
It took me a good weekend, honestly. Lots of rabbit holes. I’d find one article, and it would lead me to five more. But, it’s helpful for me to see the evolution of the whole thing. I mean, years ago, this would’ve been a HUGE scandal, right? Now, it’s a bit more… complicated.
What I Found Out
It’s a mix of stuff. Some guys are super open, some are quiet about it, and the league itself seems to be evolving. Reading fan opinions was a total trip, too – everything from “it’s no big deal” to “they’re ruining the game!”
Now, I was not expecting to become an expert or anything. I just wanted to get a better handle on the subject. And, you know what? It was actually pretty interesting. Seeing how things change over time, not just in sports, but in society in general, is always something I love to record and share on my blog.
I am gonna keep digging. Always more to learn.
