Solid share. Hard to argue against that honestly.

Wow, that was a profoundly well-reasoned argument. Nicely done, Eugene Monroe.

Eugene Monroe is a sharp dude. He's putting his money where his mouth is too.

The opioid/heroin explosion is a way bigger deal than a lot of people realize. Current and former athletes, college kids, otherwise successful young people, etc. are all tangled up in it. They get a prescription at some point, get addicted, eventually pills get expensive, heroin is cheaper, and all of a sudden you have a tragic situation.

The tide is turning but the NFL is afraid to go against the politicians. Eventually, the people will succeed in forcing the politicians and their cartel front men to relinquish their monopoly profits on cannabis. They will still make money on harder drugs and guns but not as much.

That's a good read... Even back when I played it was Tylenol 3 and local steroid injection with numbing. Cortisone with lidocaine. Pain pills are great, but they can get abused and the path is a bad one. I assume the drug companies have powerful lobbyists.

The DEA is expected to reschedule it this summer.

Wonder what these cats are mixing with the pain meds to stay sharp during games?
