This post was very well laid out and got the point across efficiently. Good job using applicable examples and describing how different things impact them. It will be interesting to see the future of drug rules and usage in sports.

Very nice job on this one. This was very well written any honestly feels like it’s coming from the perspective of these professional athletes who went through the struggles of having to deal with it. Marijuana does not enhance sports performance, and is mainly used to combat pain. I think allowing players to use it is more than acceptable, and should even be pushed. Prime Athletes, such as Calvin Johnson used marijuana before every game to help with pain. If superstars are able to battle through more pain and play for a longer amount of time, this could ultimately bring in more revenue to the leagues they play in. It’s a win-win situation.

Love your work Nate, your points and reasoning about the athletes and how it has or hasn’t affected the player. “You are going to need some type of medicine to help yourself, so why not a universal, safe, naturally occurring drug instead of opioids?”, it was a good point on how it benefits them. I believe other people need to understand how marijuana could help others so here’s another link, https://collegian.com/2021/04/category-sports-professional-sports-continues-to-play-catch-up-with-weed-laws/

Dear Nate,
I agree with that drugs in the NBA should be used by players because it’s to much stress for those who go through a lot in the NBA.
One sentence that stand out to me is ¨There are countless examples of athletes like Harrison Barnes, Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, etc, etc most of your favorite athletes smoke weed to relax.¨ The reason why it stand out to me because how bout if those players are big in the NBA and that’s the reason why they didn’t get caught. Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next.Alfredo

Nate commented on the post, Students Go Online in India
This article makes some very valid and interesting points about how India and its population have been faced with economic challenges in light of covid. With a population of 1 billion-plus, that’s a lot of jobs lost and kids to be sent online. With poverty numbers rising globally this is a massive unknown problem, especially in the US, where the…Read More

Nate commented on the post, Legalize Weed……… Yes/No?
I believe you make some solid points about how marijuana should be used medicinally, but I feel like you have either misinterpreted the data or do not have a full understanding of THC, while minorly possibly addictive (still sitting around 10%) marijuana is much more dangerous as a gateway drug than anything else, but legalization is at the age of…Read More
Nice work Nate! You really brought up some strong points coming first hand from the mouths of these athletes. The rules of the usage of marijuana are changing everyday and becoming more progressive. I’m excited to see how this effects it’s readers and what the future of our nation and major league sports looks like, with the progressive movement behind marijuana.
