It doesn't affect me. I know a lot of people are saying 'what about our rights,' well, you know what, I could care less. There are bigger fish to fry than fighting over the drug policy if you're drug-free. If you're not drug-free, then I guess you want to fight over that thing. We never want to return to that again.
Rookies clearly have the most to fear from the league's new policy.
Marijuana normally remains in a person's system for no longer than six to eight weeks, so it wouldn't be difficult for veterans to abstain for a few weeks leading up to training camp before resuming use of the drug after their test is done. I don't have a problem with it. It doesn't bother me. I don't smoke marijuana so they can test all they want. The penalties are harsh for anyone testing positive for cocaine or heroin.
