Major WWE star 'integral' in talent now being allowed to smoke marijuana

WWE has a start Wellness Policy code, outlining that talent will be fined, suspended and even fired for taking various banned substances.

One of the substances that many people thought was banned was marijuana, and while that was the case several years ago, reports state that WWE’s stance has softened.

Fightful Select is reporting that no one within WWE has been fined or suspended for smoking weed for several years.

WWE talent have told Fightful that they’ve not been suspended for marijuana use in “years,” a progressive change from the policy that existed previously

At least one wrestler we spoke to said that they still get tested for “everything,” but they just don’t get fined for weed anymore.

WWE stars throughout the years have argued against the policy, including Bret Hart, who said that marijuana was a safer alternative to the other things wrestlers used to deal with pains from wrestling.

On this note, the report states that Randy Orton was seen as an “integral figure” in getting WWE to change its policy for main roster talent.
