NFL Owners Soften Their Stance on Marijuana Use in Latest Collective Bargaining Proposal
The National Football League is starting to come around on its marijuana policy. The collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players runs out at the end of next season, and the two sides are in negotiations for a new one. Among the items in the proposal that NFL owners recently submitted to players was a plan to reduce the penalties for marijuana use, and change the way that the league it tests for it.
One of the biggest changes is that the league would no longer suspend players who test positive for cannabis. In addition, the league would test fewer players, and the testing window would shrink from a period of four months to just two weeks. https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/media/Default/PDFs/CBA%20Proposal%20Fact%20Sheet%20Final.pdf
Dallas Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones has hinted in the past that there will likely be an "adjustment" in the way the league handles its drug policy with respect to marijuana use.
