NBA stars will no longer be penalised for consuming marijuana after the league and players came to an agreement over the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Per Shams Charania of The Athletic, marijuana has been removed from the anti-drug testing programme, which began during the 2019/20 NBA season. The league and it's players reportedly came to an agreement in the early hours of Saturday morning over the new seven-year CBA deal, although it is still pending ratification.
The deal will begin this summer and is scheduled to last at least through the 2028/29 campaign. At that time, either the league or the Players Association can opt out, otherwise it will last through to the 2030 offseason.
