On this episode of Let’s Be Blunt, Montel brings you an update on cannabis legalization efforts worldwide, from the East to the West, beginning with the progress made overseas before catching up with what's happening back home in the United States. There are currently over 40 countries that have legalized medical cannabis in some form, while around 20 countries have legalized recreational use. So what's causing this global shift towards cannabis legalization? There are a few key factors at play here. Firstly, there has been a growing body of research showing the potential medical benefits of cannabis for various conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy, and even cancer. This has led to increased public support and pressure on governments to legalize cannabis for medical purposes. Another major factor is the economic potential of the cannabis industry. With legalization comes the opportunity for job creation, tax revenue, and investment in new industries such as cannabis production and distribution. This has been a major driving force for countries facing economic challenges, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. https://lnkd.in/ei6XRRRk

On March 1st, 2022 the NCAA took the first steps forward to a green inclusive future, changing the policy for a relaxed approach to cannabis and the amount of THC an athlete can have to trigger a positive test. In an effort to align with the World Anti-Doping Agency’s levels, the NCAA Committee of Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports agreed to allow for the threshold levels of THC (the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis) to increase from 35 nanograms per millilitre to 150 nanograms per millilitre. Maintaining the course, the NCAA Committee has formally advised each of the three divisional governance bodies to introduce and adopt legislation to remove cannabis from the banned substance list in all three divisions. The recommendation hopes to establish that cannabis is not a performance-enhancing drug and that cannabis harm-reduction tools are better developed at school levels.
