Great news for JR Smith (and the rest of NBA players that consume marijuana) after the league announced they won’t be testing for weed this upcoming NBA season. That measure was adopted in the Orlando bubble and now they are going to keep things like that.
Sources say this decision is largely based on COVID safety – just another way of limiting unnecessary contacts.
However, there's also significant expectation from many in the league that the entire marijuana testing program is on the way out in the near future.

It’s not a secret that marijuana is very popular among NBA players and this was obviously great news for a lot of people around the association. Of course, NBA Twitter reacted to the news and they didn’t have mercy, making fun of JR Smith, Bronny James and more players and teams.

The league has been studying removing marijuana from the banned substances list and these steps seem to be aimed at removing it from the list for good. A lot of players are happy now and they will be even happier when the season starts… If you know what I mean.
