Steve Kerr voices support for legalization of marijuana in California
A day after California became the sixth U.S. state to legalize recreational marijuana, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr voiced his support for the new law. “I’m a proponent of it,” Kerr said after practice Tuesday. “I do feel strongly that (marijuana) is a much better option than some of the prescription drugs, and I know that it’s helping a lot of people, which is great.” Kerr, who has tried marijuana twice in hopes of relieving pain from complications stemming from back surgery, has advocated for the NBA to allow players to use cannabis for medicinal purposes for more than a year.
