It is classified as a Schedule I drug along with other substances such as heroin, peyote, and ecstasy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0px; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.301961); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\">It is great to see the league being forward-thinking on this particular issue. The messaging on marijuana has, for decades, been misleading. As a result, the drug grew a reputation it didn\u2019t deserve. In this day and age, many players use or have used the drug without it having a major impact on their lives. In many cases, the impact is positive. Former Astros first baseman<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"nameLink\" style=\"outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: #1f7edf;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rotoworld.com\/player\/mlb\/6340\/jon-singleton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jon Singleton<\/a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>remains a well-known<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: #1f7edf;\" href=\"https:\/\/mlb.nbcsports.com\/2014\/03\/03\/astros-prospect-jonathan-jonathan-singleton-opens-up-about-addiction\/\">outlier<\/a>. Furthermore, testing for and thus having to punish players for the use of marijuana removes any incentive for the player to be honest and seek help if the drug impacts their lives negatively. This, along with the opioid program, hopefully results in players feeling comfortable enough to seek the help they need if they need it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 15px 0px; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.301961); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" style=\"outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: #1f7edf;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Baer_Bill\">Follow @Baer_Bill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can read this article by <strong>Bill Baer <\/strong>on <strong>NBC Sports <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mlb.nbcsports.com\/2019\/12\/09\/mlb-will-remove-marijuana-from-list-of-banned-substances-for-minor-leaguers\/\">here:<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Athletic\u2019s Ken Rosenthal reports\u00a0that, as part of MLB and the MLBPA\u2019s\u00a0recent agreementon a treatment program for opioids, the league will also remove marijuana from the list of banned substances for minor leaguers.
