Full Details On How Serious WWE Is About Eliminating Synthetic Cannabinoids
In yesterday's report about Evan Bourne, Heath Slater and Darren Young being suspended for the use of synthetic marijuana, I noted about the hypocrisy that a positive test for marijuana (which is illegal) only carries a fine when synthetic marijuana is legal yet carries a suspension.
I did some research and noticed the company has stipulated a special section in their Wellness Policy regarding synthetic cannabinoids. The two substances WWE officials are focusing on are "Spice" and "K2." With these substances becoming popular amongst several in the locker room, WWE has banned them regardless of whether there is a prescription (which is something they also did with SOMAs).
I'm told there are also efforts being made in congress to pass laws against these substances to take them off the market in the United States.
