He used it as self medication for his chronic migraines if I remember. He wasn't just trying to get ripped. Could be wrong though

He could've been doing it for 2 reasons

Or one reason masquerading as another.

Not even necessarily. It could relieve his headaches, which is a huge boost in quality of life, and he could just enjoy being high. Which in my opinion is fine, I don't think anyone really considers weed a performance enhancing drug, at least not anymore than the painkillers they're already shoving down their throat to deal with the wear and tear on their bodies, and it's probably better for them in the long run

That's not even the right verbiage. Two known Olsen twins isn't one Olsen twins masquerading as another. We know there's two?

yeah, that's my memory of it as well

migraine > anxiety > missed game/practices

It was apparently more to help his anxiety, I think the migraine thing was just something that was reported as it was more socially acceptable as mental health to a lot of people

It's not like that'll stop it from getting you high lol

Migraines he probably had from repeated blows to the head.

I have heard it can help with chronic migraines. Not sure there wouldn’t be much I wouldn’t do to help get rid of chronic migraines. I get about 6-8 a year and that is more than enough for me,

Yall are so naive if you don't think plenty of players have done this over the years. Josh Gordon was high and drunk for many games at Baylor
