Percy Harvin said he was prescribed multiple different medications to help deal with anxiety and migraines throughout his NFL career, but marijuana was the only thing that seemed to help.

One instance, Harvin said, was a locker room encounter with teammate Golden Tate prior to the Seahawks Superbowl XLVIII game against the Denver Broncos. The wide receiver attributed the exchange between himself and Tate to his anxiety, saying that the fight happened after Tate shrugged off Harvin's return to the team following a concussion.

According to Johnson, he suffered"at least nine concussions" in the NFL and would smoke marijuana frequently to assist with the healing process. Johnson detailed how he would smoke instead of taking the prescribed opioids that have become popular in NFL locker rooms.
