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。
对于一个已经退休的39岁老将而言，
他坚定地相信大麻能够使那些借由医疗行为使用而大麻的球员受益。
“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.”
“我认为大麻能够有效解决运动员的日常伤痛，只让他们吃止痛药和具高度成瘾性的鸦片
很明显不会是最好的方案。”
“不像那些他们正在使用的药物(止痛药、鸦片)，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想表达的讯息很明确。
他并不是想要这些大麻被用来当作娱乐、消遣用途。
而是希望找到能够取代止痛药的替代方案，
因为长远来看，止痛药可能会对球员造成不良的副作用。
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接着说，要让大麻能够在联盟合法化，
最关键的因素就是球员自己要站出来支持。
我们现在在谈的绝对不只是精神、道义上的支持，
而是要公开、大声地谈论这个相当两极化的议题。
“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.”
“因为我在NBA打过很长一段时间，
所以我知道这一切的一切还是要从球员开始做起。
而当球员开始采取行动，为自己发声时，就是打破旧规则的起点。”
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现在正在经营一间自己创立的大麻公司。
就前NBA球星而言，他现在似乎过的很好。
