Evan Bickerstaffe Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 NBA Removing Cannabis Bans for Players Written by Lori Ann Reese When you are a professional athlete, using cannabis isn’t an option. That is because, traditionally, all major league organizations do randomized drug testing. And if an athlete tests positive for THC or any other controlled substance, they face some serious consequences whether the player has a medical card or not. The new seven-year collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association reached a tentative agreement on Saturday, April 1st, 2023. This comes after the MLB (Major League Baseball) announced in 2022 that it would permit players to endorse cannabidiol (CBD) products. Teams in the MLB can now sell sponsorships to reputable CBD brands. The National Basketball League is moving to formalize something that has already been an unofficial process. For the past three years, the NBA has suspended testing players for marijuana: a move that was implemented during the Covid-19 quarantine. But the new contract for NBA players goes beyond validating the medicinal use of cannabis for symptoms like pain and inflammation. It also opens up professional basketball players to get entrepreneurial and become spokespersons or investors in America’s growing cannabis industry.
