In January, the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) surprised everyone when it ‘essentially’ removed marijuana as a banned substance for UFC fighters.

As reported by ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, if fighters test positive for carboxy-THC (the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis), it won’t be regarded as a USADA violation. This rule has been retroactively applicable since January 1st, 2021.
