Percy Harvin says he was high during every NFL game he played

Percy Harvin was never able to fulfill his potential in the NFL due to both injuries and issues he had off the field, and the former wide receiver says things could have been a lot worse if not for his self-medication.

Harvin opened up about his issues with anxiety during an interview with Master Tesfatsion of Bleacher Report, and he said he was prescribed multiple medications to treat the condition but there was only one that worked — marijuana. The former Florida star said he smoked weed before every single NFL game in which he played.

“I was at the Mayo Clinic and I had at least seven prescriptions that I was supposed to take from Zoloft and all the other ones I was taking. The only thing that really seemed to work is when I would smoke marijuana,” Harvin said. “There’s not a game I’ve played in that I wasn’t high.

“That’s what I want the world to see today. It’s not a stigma and people only (smoking marijuana) and getting in a whole bunch of trouble. There’s just people living a regular life who have deficiencies or just maybe want to enjoy themselves. It’s a natural way to do so.”

Bill Lee, affectionately known as "Spaceman", never stopped playing baseball. In 2010, he became the oldest pitcher to win a professional game in baseball history, and he still partakes in the herb.
