Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Eugene Monroe published a Twitter tour de force on Tuesday by advocating for the benefits of medical marijuana.
Dispersing over thirty tweets in a two hour period, the six-foot-five, 300 pounder tweeted about medical marijuana and the hypocrisy that other stronger pain-killing injections such as Toradol and prescription opioids are used within the NFL.
Below are a few of his tweets:
Any coach, fan, GM, owner or anyone concerned about the player being “high” should know that they already are, on prescribed opioids

This is not about marijuana! It’s about a more sensible approach to health care and research so we can protect the game and it’s players!

The eight year veteran put his money where his tweets are and donated $10,000 for medical marijuana research while encouraging others to follow his lead.
