WWE Eases Marijuana Policy, Michin Confirms Acceptance

WWE has officially removed marijuana from its list of banned substances, as revealed by superstar Michin during an appearance on 'The Speakeezy' podcast. This major policy shift allows talent to use marijuana without violating WWE’s wellness policies, a significant change from past practices that led to suspensions and fines for substance use. Michin noted that she personally indulges in marijuana on weekends, reflecting the growing acceptance of the substance, particularly as its legality increases in various states. The decision may also align with WWE's merger with UFC, which had previously relaxed its anti-doping policies regarding marijuana. Fans have reacted to this news with a mix of surprise and humor, especially considering past controversies involving wrestlers like Matt Riddle and RVD. This change indicates a broader trend within the wrestling industry toward adapting drug policies to reflect changing legal landscapes.
