Cynthia Calvillo does not want to be defined by positive marijuana test

Cynthia Calvillo was invited to the High Times Cannabis Cup earlier this year. She attended the event as an honored guest.

Calvillo made cannabis-related news, of course, in March when she was suspended nine months by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) for a positive in-competition marijuana test in relation to her UFC 219 fight last December. The failed drug test caused her to lose her sponsorship with UFC partner BodyArmor and she was also fined $6,150 by the NAC.

After that, companies in the cannabis business came out of the woodwork reaching out to Calvillo.
