He had multiple positive drug tests and when asked about it, he said he was using weed because he had anxiety issues. As soon as a guy makes up an excuse that he's using it for a medical issue, you know he believes he needs it and he's probably not gonna quit. The Cowboys gambled and this time, they got burned.

Yeah I don't think he's lying about using weed to cope with his clinical anxiety and mental issues. You can argue there are better methods and that it's dumb to do given the NFLs stance on it but I dont know why you think he's making it up

Maybe I worded my statement wrong. I didn't mean to insinuate he was making it up. I just meant to say, when someone is convinced they need something for medical issues, it's almost impossible to get them to stop. Once I read that he said he had been using it so long to treat anxiety, I knew he was probably a lost cause, because he felt he needed it to overcome his social anxiety. Personally, I think the NFL's marijuana rules are ridiculous. It certainly isn't a PED, so who cares if players use it? I was just looking at the situation from a practical perspective of a team that would potentially be drafting him and to me, the red flags outweighed the positives.
