Rules Transformed for Olympic Marijuana Testing…
After many years of delivering home top sports athletes in the Olympics for positive marijuana tests, The Planet Anti-Doping Agency is changing the tests they will use to identify cannabis. Formerly, a sports athlete who examined in a low-level of 15 mammograms per milliliter would fail the exam. This led to many positive tests.

The brand new rule will penalize olympians when they test at 150 ng/ml, raising the accepted levels by 10 occasions. As the WADA hasn’t exactly mentioned why they transformed this limit, there has been calls growing even louder and even louder all over the world to allow them to achieve this. The brand new tests might not allow sports athletes to smoke cannabis near to the test, but shouldn’t produce positive tests for individuals around second hands smoke, or individuals who marijuana semi lately. Allen St. Pierre of NORML stated a sports athlete would need to be “quite a devoted cannabis consumer” to check positive underneath the new rules.
