Since Jan. 1, it's been legal to purchase and use marijuana in the state of Colorado. However, that doesn't mean NFL players in Colorado can start lighting up. Despite marijuna being legal in the state, it's still illegal under the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.
Under the CBA, a player who tests positive for marijuana can be suspended, but that could change sometime down the road. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell left the door open for medical marijuana use when he was asked about the subject on Tuesday.
