MLB and MiLB remove cannabis from the banned substances list

In a move that could have profound implications for professional sports, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reported earlier today that Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association (MLBPA) have agreed to remove marijuana from the list of banned substances as part of a new agreement to curb opioid use.
quote:
MLB’s current player agreement bans non-40-man roster minor leaguers for 25 games after their first positive cannabis test, 50 games for a second positive test, and 100 games for a third positive test. Players are banned for life following a fourth positive test, according to CBS Sports.
Major league players are not currently tested for cannabis, which would effectively be legalized across baseball once negotiations conclude. The MLB would then join the NHL as the only major sports leagues with no league-administered punishment for consuming marijuana.

Pretty sad the league can't hold itself to a higher standard. I want my boys to look up to athletes who carry themselves the right way on and off the field, not a bunch of dopeheads trying to kill brain cell(s).

In baseball, the pitcher and catcher working together are called the battery. Based on your comment itt, I’m not surprised by your question.

Very smart move by the league. NFL will double down on their stupid policy probably.
