Regulations aside, if you have potentially millions of dollars worth of NFL contracts ahead of you, and you can't avoid screwing it up by smoking weed, then you have a major problem.
The NFL only cares about marijuana because there are regulations against it. The NFL would have loved nothing more than to have just let Ricky play without feeling obliged to suspend him.
Weed is no worse than alcohol and nicotine, and the NFL actively peddles alcohol. Fortunately, marijuana is already decriminalized in a number of major metropolitan areas and it is just a matter of time before the prohibition on marijuana is completely lifted.
What "types" are you speaking of? Black people or marijuana users, or black marijuana users?
Because, you are quite wrong about all three types. There are some pretty hard-working and successful individuals that smoke pot in this country, and do so quite openly in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and Boston.
