NFL legends Jim McMahon, Kyle Turley, and Eben Britton are hosting a golf event in Las Vegas to raise funds and provide support for retired NFL players. The event serves as a message to the NFL about the benefits of cannabis as an alternative to opioids and other harmful drugs. McMahon credits cannabis with helping him get off pain pills and improve his sleep and appetite, claiming it is a medicinal herb and not a drug. This initiative extends to lobbying presidential candidates about legislation that would grant protections to banks serving state-legal marijuana businesses. McMahon also expressed his desire to grow awareness about cannabis and make a positive impact on athletes’ well-being.
