Stephen Jackson: I smoked marijuana my whole career. I had a hell of a career—didn't miss no games

Former NBA player Stephen Jackson said that the NBA should legalize the use of marijuana.

Per TMZ (via Bleacher Report), "I think they should take it off. Of course," Jackson said (h/t Yahoo Sports' Ben Rohrbach). "Why not? … I smoked my whole career. I had a hell of a career—didn't miss no games."

Specifically, Jackson said he smoked after games to relax. 
"I ain't going to say it helped," he said. "But as far as coming down after the games, relaxing, it helped. Before the games, nobody can play high, especially in the NBA. It’s a high level of competition, and guys are great, so nobody can play high, but after the games, guys need to come down and relax, because it’s a physical sport.
