\"Dana1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All around the world a new generation of law-maker is becoming more and more pro-marijuana.<\/p>\n

With little known side-effects, and an argument that the drug is a safer alternative to other recreational vices, the world, especially America’s stance, is becoming almost tolerant.<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White chimed in on the subject during a recent UFC media event, and he warned that despite the widespread acceptance, don’t expect the UFC to adopt a tolerance policy.<\/p>\n

Sorry Nick…<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a real tough question because at the end of the day people look at marijuana differently. Even if it becomes legal and you can hang around your house and you can do it, or do it out in public, when you\u2019re competing in a sport\u2026 the reason that there\u2019s medical marijuana is for people who are cancer patients, for pain and things like that. I think it\u2019s still going to be looked at as a type of pain killer or something, and pain killers are banned substances. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s ever going to be a day where marijuana is okay for athletes, but the amount of nanograms that can be in their system might go up a little bit. They might allow more nanograms.”
