A state athletic commission seems to be changing its regulations when it comes to marijuana.
The Florida State Boxing Commission will ease its rules regarding cannabis consumption, lining them up more with doping industry standards, UFC vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitzky confirmed with MMA Fighting after a report by MMAjunkie.
Cannabinoids will remain prohibited in-competition, but only if over 150 ng/ml, the threshold set out by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), Novitzky said. That includes tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but cannabidiol (CBD) will be allowed at all times.
Previously, the Florida commission had a zero-tolerance policy regarding cannabis.
