NBA News Roundup: The league suspends all testing for cannabis

The NBA seems to operate under arbitrary rules. Even if a state has legalized the consumption of cannabis, the league has banned it for quite some time. However, last season, in the Orlando bubble, the NBA allowed players to use the substance without worrying about testing.

The NBA has gone one step further and suspended all testing for next season. NBA Champion Matt Barnes appeared on a Yahoo! finance interview and talked about the implications of the rule on the players.

Matt Barnes is a long-time advocate for cannabis and has been fighting in support of its consumption for years. He talked about how he felt about the NBA finally deciding to suspend testing for cannabis.

When asked about how the latest development would affect the NBA players and how they feel about it, Matt Barnes said:

The NBA players will not be tested for cannabis in the entirety of the 2020-21 season. According to Matt Barnes, several NBA players are ‘rejoicing’ at the decision.
