EXCLUSIVE
Ex-NFL defensive stud Shaun Phillips says the NFL is giving out the wrong drugs — saying the league should be handing out marijuana to players … and just saying NO to prescription pills.
Phillips played 11 seasons in the league — killing QBs for the Chargers and Broncos — and says he got free Rx pills during his career to manage pain … while being threatened with a suspension if he touched pot.
“It should be the other way around,” Phillips says … “You should get suspended for using opiates and be able to smoke marijuana.”
Phillips says he respects the league and its decision — but clearly wants change.
… and maybe some Funyons.
