NFL Players Won’t Be Tested forbr THC During the Offseason.br On April 20, the NFL opened its randombr drug testing window for players.br Unlike past years, players will not be testedbr for THC, the chemical found in marijuana.br The new collective bargaining agreement (CBA)br was passed last year by the NFL and the NFLPA.br The exclusion of THC testingbr extends from April 20 to August 9.br April 20, aka 420, just so happensbr to be the popular cult holiday dedicatedbr to celebrating marijuana. .br In addition, the CBA has raised thebr threshold for positive marijuana tests thatbr occur after the start of training camps.br The threshold has been raised frombr 35 nanogram to 150 nanograms.br Positive drug tests will also nobr longer result in suspensions.br Players will instead have any THCbr positive test reviewed by a panel ofbr appointed medical professionals.br The board will decide if it is necessarybr for the player to receive treatment or not.
