Trip in the Way Way Back - Medical Marijuana and NFL Concussions

From the original blog, found here: https://dumbbellsanddragons.com/877/ Like many of us, I spent the last two weekends watching football. It was exciting, surprising, and, above all, entertaining. I followed the games along with my fantasy stats, cheered when my players scored, cursed when my opponents did. Then the injuries happened. Tony Romo out with a fractured clavicle, Alshon Jeffrey with a hurt hammy. And Luke Kuechly with a concussion. These days, it seems at least one player all 32 tea...

And you can hear, in real time, me challenging my own biases and prejudices, even though they were unknown to me at the time. Thank you so much, Tiffany, for teaching me more about myself. ...
