NFL Legends Advocate for Cannabis Use in Retired Athletes

Jim McMahon, Kyle Turley, and Eben Britton Host Charity Golf Event to Raise Funds and Awareness

  • NFL legend Jim McMahon, along with former NFL players Kyle Turley and Eben Britton, are advocating for the use of cannabis as an alternative to prescription drugs for retired athletes.
  • McMahon, Turley, and Britton co-founded the cannabis brand Revenant and are hosting the Gridiron Greats Celebrity Golf Classic on February 9 to raise funds for retired NFL players facing hardship.
  • McMahon claims that cannabis helped him get off pain pills, sleep, and eat, and argues that it's a better option than prescription drugs.
  • Turley, who has firsthand experience of recovery through cannabis, has been lobbying for the SAFER Banking Act, which would grant protections to banks serving state-legal marijuana businesses.
  • The Gridiron Greats’ mission extends beyond the golf course and cannabis, advocating for the well-being of former athletes and responsible cannabis access.
