Nevada Athletic Commission Weighing Lifting Ban On Marijuana

The Nevada Athletic Commission is reportedly weighing lifting its restrictions on marijuana for those competing in the state.

TMZ reports the commission will meet later this week to discuss lifting the ban.

It comes in part because Nevada voters approved the legalization of recreational marijuana back in November.

The Nevada Athletic Commission regulates mixed martial arts and boxing contests in the state, among other combat sports.

Casey Morell is the coordinating producer of Nevada Public Radio's flagship broadcast State of Nevada and one of the station's midday newscast announcers. (He's also been interviewed by Jimmy Fallon, whatever that's worth.)
