Whenever one sits to watch a Super Bowl, they can expect to hear about all kinds of numbers. Beyond the game's score and the stats, there will be some Roman numerals for Super Bowl 54, there will be talk about the cost of the commercials (about $5.6 million for a 30-second slot) and how many there are (77 in-game slots this year), and about how many people will be watching (TV viewership has dropped each year since 114.4 million watched in 2015, though streaming keeps setting records). What the NFL will not be promoting, however, is either how many of its players rely on cannabis to perform come game day, its lack of movement regarding legal cannabis and CBD, or the numbers of active and former players (and their families) impacted by the league's inaction.

After the psychotropic compound THC (tetrahydrocannabinol or delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is the second-most popular among active ingredients of the cannabis plant.
