It’s April 20. 4/20. The unofficial marijuana holiday. It’s also the day on which the marijuana amnesty ends for all NFL players.
Players not in the substance-abuse program are subject to one test per year, from April 20 through August 9.
After submitting to that one test per year, a player can smoke at will — and/or take other drugs prohibited by the substance-abuse policy (e.g., cocaine, amphetamines, morphine, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, PCP, MDMA) — without fear of consequence.
(During the regular season, amphetamines and MDMA become PEDs.
Until the next April 20, the only risk comes from getting arrested for marijuana possession, having a joint fall out of a player’s jacket in the presence of a league official, and/or admitting publicly to smoking marijuana. (For example, when former NFL receiver Randy Moss admitted to smoking marijuana “every blue moon,” Moss nearly landed in the program.)
