Stephen Jackson on Drugs, Sports, and George Floyd

For decades, sports have been regulating drug use among athletes, but of course, anytime you make a rule, people break it, and today we are going to talk to one of the NBA's best-known rule breakers. Stephen Jackson played fourteen years in the NBA, and he was described by Larry Bird as one of the toughest competitors he ever knew.

I'll talk to him today about why he found marijuana beneficial, how he managed to evade the system, and his unlikely and close relationship with George Floyd.
