MLB removes marijuana from 'drugs of abuse' under new policy
The sweeping changes, which take effect from Spring Training in 2020, “favor a treatment-based approach to Drugs of Abuse,” according to the joint announcement from the MLB and its players’ union.
Major League players were not randomly tested for drugs of abuse including opioids unless there was reasonable cause under the previous policy. Opioid misuse has grown to a “crisis” in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health, with roughly 1.2 million people over the age of 12 estimated to have an opioid use disorder.
