WWE Reportedly Removes Marijuana From Banned Substances List
WWE has reportedly removed marijuana from its list of banned substances, according to recent statements by WWE superstar Michin aka Mia Yim. While WWE has yet to issue an official confirmation, Michin disclosed this policy change during an appearance earlier this month on “The Speakeezy” podcast, highlighting a shift in the company’s stance toward cannabis use among its talent.
Major Policy Shift, But No Official Confirmation
Speaking on the podcast, Michin explained that WWE quietly eliminated marijuana from its list of banned substances “a couple years ago.” She stated, “Because it’s [marijuana] more legal, they’ve kind of accepted it. So before, that used to be — marijuana used to be on the drug list and they took that off a couple years ago.”
Benzinga contacted WWE twice seeking confirmation of Michin’s comments but has not received a response at the time of publication.
