Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2412922, member: 56"] CTE can absolutely lead to more drug use, given the general affects of the condition. Not my opinion, just what I've read from doctors who study this. I would not be the least bit surprised if his PCP use, as a very successful, rich professional football player, along with being a new father, was heavily influence by his relative cognitive function. I agree with Rock that these drugs do increase degeneration of the brain in some form or fashion. They are effectively poison. No idea what brain centers they affect the most, so obviously don't have a clue if it mimics or exacerbates the CTE damage/effects. [/QUOTE]
