Could the NBA allow players to (openly) use cannabis? It just may happen.  A recent post on reddit suggests that NBA commissioner Adam Silver is at least open to the idea. When asked about medical marijuana use and the NBA, this is what Commissioner Silver had to say: “I would say […]

Finally. NFL management has finally agreed to start talking to the NFL Player’s Union about cannabis use. It’s about damn time. As it stands now, players test positive for cannabis if they are found to have more than 15 nanograms of THC in their bloodstream. The NFLPA would like to […]

Marijuana continues to be deemed illegal and dangerous to our health, even today, when many countries have legalized it. What can you do when it’s hard to shake off old beliefs? There are always (at least) two sides to every story when you consider the people who don’t find consuming […]

As we’ve covered, the International Cannabis Business Conference is heading north of the border in October, stopping in Vancouver, British Columbia for a two-day intensive crash course on all things cannabis and Canada.

RIO DE JANIERO, Brazil – The 2016 Rio Summer Olympic games begin this week and a US athlete disqualified from the 2012 London Summer Olympics for marijuana use will finally get to compete. Nicholas Delpopolo is an American judoka – or judo competitor – who was kept off the Olympic […]

Wisely, UFC fighters Rose Namajunas and Michael Chiesa want marijuana removed from banned list of substances competitors can’t use leading up to their mixed martial arts bouts.

UPDATE: Rober Nkemdiche released a statement denying the use of synthetic marijuana. I’d say that, too, if the difference between synthetic and natural was a felony vs. a misdemeanor… The college football world has been rocked by the recent 15-foot-fall and injury of expected first-round NFL draft pick Robert Nkemdiche […]

UPDATE: Holly Holm defeated Ronda Rousey to win the UFC bantamweight championship at UFC 193. Ronda Rousey is obviously not afraid of speaking her mind. From her belief that women don’t need others to take care of them to sex, Rousey seems to speak authentically off the cuff. Some love […]

Retired (for now) undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather and current UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey have had a war of words ever since “Money” acted like he had never heard of the UFC champ before. “Rowdy” Rousey fired back after she beat out the boxer for best fighter of the […]

After UFC champion Ronda Rousey criticized the 5-year suspension of fellow fighter Nick Diaz (#FreeNickDiaz) for testing positive for marijuana, controversial ESPN commentator Stephen A.

In case you missed it, (I certainly did) comedian, UFC color commentator and outspoken cannabis legalization advocate, Joe Rogan, implied (basically stated) that he and UFC champion Ronda Rousey consumed cannabis before her first appearance on his podcast back in 2011.

Dominating UFC Champion Ronda Rousey, who we previously noted eats hemp seeds when she is training and has stood up for a fighter punished for testing positive for marijuana in the past, has lashed out against the 5-year suspension of fellow fighter Nick Diaz (which Marijuana Politics blogger Russ Belville […]
