WWE has not removed marijuana from the list of banned substances as part of the company’s Wellness Policy despite a false report to the contrary.
This week, a statement from WWE’s corporate website claimed that marijuana was now acceptable by the promotion for Superstars to use ahead of events.
That report has since been proven to be a hoax, as WWE’s actual corporate website confirms that the use of synthetic marijuana is still a banned substance:
“Synthetic Cannabinoids – most commonly referred to as “Spice”, or “K2”, are chemically engineered substances, similar to THC – the active ingredient in marijuana – that, when smoked or ingested, can produce pharmacological effects similar to marijuana.”
