It is a red flag. I agree, though.
Honestly, I've never touched pot in my life and I'm 28. I've never ever taken a single drag off even a cigarette.
I think pot should be legalized and I'd be more worried if I had a player smoking cigs over dope.
Dope in mass can be a problem, but used occasionally, it isn't going to hurt anything. I'm not encouraging someone to become a pothead, but there are much worse things one can do in life.
The biggest concern for Harvin and B.J. Raji, who both tested positive, is common sense. You know you're about to be tested at the combine, can you not smoke right before it at least and pass the test? That's what would hack me off.
I would definitely say a majority of NFL players probably smoke pot at some point during the offseason at least. Again, it causes less problems than cigs or alcohol for that matter.
