The NBA would not be the first sports association to look into their marijuana use policy and the testing of players in recent times. The MLB had announced earlier this year that its players will no longer be tested for cannabis although the league is still barred from being sponsored by marijuana companies it was definitely a step in the right direction. Also toeing that line is the decision of the NFL to end suspensions for positive tests and limiting the testing window which is a significant change from the previous policy being operated in the NFL in terms of marijuana use.
