All that said, the NFL should seriously revisit its marijuana policy. There is no real, legitimate, reason that it should be on the banned substances list any more than alcohol. If someone abuses it and it causes issues, then he can be dealt with by the gentle, loving, tolerant personnel conduct policies of Kommissar Goodell. Otherwise, WTF cares. Public perception on the issue has chagned, as has the law in many states, to recognize that marijuana is not in remotely the same class of drug as cocaine or heroin.
I agree with all of this.

They will stop testing for it eventually, probably as part of the next CBA.
