Marijuana Policy Within Professional Sports — Arguments For and Against League Acceptance and Player Use

In my Marijuana Law, Policy & Reform seminar, there is often interest in exploring how professional sports leagues deal with marijuana issues (and the issue changes dynamically nearly every year).  This year is no different, and  I am excited to review the materials and hear the presentation of this year’s student addressing the topic that serves as the title of this post.  Here are several links to articles sent to me by the student in preparation for his presentation:

National Football League, Policy And Program On Substances Of Abuse

Article on “MLB, NBA, And NFL’s Policy On Cannabis

Article on “NFLPA: Marijuana policy in NFL is “a CBA issue, not a law-enforcement issue'”

Commentary on “Why the NBA’s Marijuana Policy Is Superior to the NFL’s”

Article on “The NHL’s Attitude Toward Marijuana Might Surprise You”

Article on “The Effect Of Weed On Exercise: Is Marijuana A Performance-Enhancing Drug?”
