He obviously is an addict. Regardless of why he is addicted, the very definition of "addiction" is to continue behavior which is inherently self-destructive, and you know it's self-destructive. His use of marijuana is self-destructive in that it is ruining his NFL career.

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.
