The Chicago Bears arrived in Denver for joint Broncos’ practices on Tuesday, and before players exited the plane, they were given a friendly reminder from the coaching staff.

Yes, recreational marijuana is legal in Colorado.

No, that doesn’t change the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

“Part of that will be making sure that we educate them, so we make sure that they know what you can and cannot do in the state and what you can and cannot do within the government,” “We want to make sure there’s no gray area, that they know exactly whatap going on.”

Until national attitudes mirror Colorado’s stance on marijuana, this stands as good advice for any visiting NFL coaching staff and its players. Wait to chow down on that “special” brownie until after retirement.
