The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) will be taking a hard look at removing marijuana from its banned substance list.
At its monthly meeting Friday, the NAC unanimously voted to begin an open regulation project regarding cannabis as a prohibited drug. Commission chairman Anthony Marnell said, following research and workshops, a special hearing would be held in March or April to vote on whether to keep or remove cannabis from that banned list.
Currently, cannabis is banned under commission rules in competition if more than 150 ng/ml is found in a fighter’s system. In competition is defined as the window starting from six hours before the fight and ending six hours after the fight.
