Chris Long plans to make marijuana advocacy one of his causes in retirement. Long retired from the NFL after 11 seasons.
Long said Tuesday that he hates \"the word admission because I don\'t think you\'re admitting to using something that harmless, personally.
\"I think the reaction has been interesting because even people that support you, it just shows the stigmatization is so ingrained. A lot of people like now are tweeting at me and every tweet is like, \'Hey man, are we gonna spark one up dude?\' I\'m like, chill with the stereotypes.
\"Marijuana is a part of people\'s lives. It\'s not their life. And obviously then you have the minority, which is less than 10 percent of the responses I\'ve seen, which are like, \'That stuff\'s the devil,\'\" he said.
