Earlier this offseason, MLB removed marijuana from its list of drugs of abuse as part of changes announced to the joint drug agreement between MLB and the MLBPA. Yet, according to a memo obtained by ESPN's Jeff Passan, penalties related to marijuana use are still possible.
Per the document cited by ESPN, players and team officials who "appear under the influence of marijuana or any other cannabinoid during any of the Club's games, practices, workouts, meetings or otherwise during the course and within the scope of their employment" will undergo a "mandatory evaluation" for a potential treatment program and could be subject to potential discipline.
