Al Harrington pushing the NBA to embrace marijuana

Former NBA big man Al Harrington has emerged as one of the biggest supporters
of marijuana use within the league today. For the retired 39-year-old, he
firmly believes that the use of cannabis is something that can benefit
players who use the same for medicinal purposes.
前NBA球星 Al Harrington 是NBA大麻合法化的主要支持者之一。
對於一個已經退休的39歲老將而言，
他堅定地相信大麻能夠使那些藉由醫療行為使用而大麻的球員受益。
“I think the day-to-day pain management issues that players deal with can be
dealt with through cannabis,” Harrington said of athletes who are often
prescribed pain relievers following surgery, including highly addictive
opioids, via Candace Buckner of the Washington Post. “Something that is all
natural and nowhere near as harmful as the stuff that they’re using now.”
「我認為大麻能夠有效解決運動員的日常傷痛，只讓他們吃止痛藥和具高度成癮性的鴉片
很明顯不會是最好的方案。」
「不像那些他們正在使用的藥物(止痛藥、鴉片)，大麻很天然。」
Harrington’s message is clear. He is not speaking about the use of marijuana
for recreational purposes here. On the contrary, it’s about finding a better
alternative to pain medication that may actually have undesirable side
effects in the long term.
Harrington想表達的訊息很明確。
他並不是想要這些大麻被用來當作娛樂、消遣用途。
而是希望找到能夠取代止痛藥的替代方案，
因為長遠來看，止痛藥可能會對球員造成不良的副作用。
Harrington went on to say that in his mind, the most important factor that
will strengthen this push within the league is the support of the players
themselves. It's not just moral support we're walking about here, but more
importantly, being openly vocal about this rather polarizing issue.
Harrington接著說，要讓大麻能夠在聯盟合法化，
最關鍵的因素就是球員自己要站出來支持。
我們現在在談的絕對不只是精神、道義上的支持，
而是要公開、大聲地談論這個相當兩極化的議題。
“I know that — in order to get things done, because I’ve played in the
league so long — it has to start at the players,” he said. “That’s when
barriers can be broken down.”
「因為我在NBA打過很長一段時間，
所以我知道這一切的一切還是要從球員開始做起。
而當球員開始採取行動，為自己發聲時，就是打破舊規則的起點。」
Harrington currently owns a cannabis company which he founded himself. Life
appears to be good for the former NBA journeyman after he retired from the
league in 2014. In 16 seasons, the 6-foot-9 big man boasts career averages of
13.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.9 steals.
Harrington現在正在經營一間自己創立的大麻公司。
就前NBA球星而言，他現在似乎過的很好。
