Reports: NFL Players Ratify Agreement That Eliminates Suspensions for Marijuana Use
The National Football League Players Union (NFLPA) has reportedly ratified a new collective bargaining agreement with the league. Among numerous other changes, the agreement -- which will be in force for 10 years -- dramatically changes the way the league will treat players who use marijuana.
Although the new agreement has not yet been officially made public, key components of it have been obtained by various media outlets.
According to several, such as The Sporting News, these changes shrink the period during which the league can test players from four months to two weeks, and raises the minimum concentration for a "positive" test from 35 nanograms of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the substance that produces a high) to 150 nanograms.
