Poll: NFL players think marijuana isn't dangerous
A majority of NFL players who responded to an ESPN poll said they do not think marijuana is dangerous.
Players were asked if they agreed with President Barack Obama's comments earlier this year when he said he doesn't think marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol.

Seventy-five percent of the 82 players who answered the question agreed with Obama. The penalty for an initial positive test for marijuana is a player must enter the league's drug program. A second positive test for marijuana results in a four-game suspension.
Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon is awaiting a ruling for his appeal of a positive test for marijuana. As a repeat violator of the league's drug policy, Gordon faces up to a one-year suspension.
