After Eugene Monro’s release by the Baltimore Ravens he is still focused on his campaign to change the NFL’s rules on cannabis use. Currently the NFL does not allow players to consume cannabis and it’s on the list of banned substances.

Recently Monroe gave researchers at John Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania $80,000 to help research cannabis therapy for NFL players – past and current. He has brought a lot of attention to the abusive nature of opioids and their effects on many NFL players looking for pain relief.

More from ESPN.

“Despite the current uncertainties, one thing is for sure: whatever happens in terms of my professional football career, I will never stop pushing for the League to accept medical cannabis as a viable option for pain management,” he said.

“I will do everything I can to ensure the generations of NFL players after me won’t have to resort to harmful and addictive opioids as their only option for pain management.”
