There has been a definite crackdown of marijuana usage within WWE, which is not making many of the performers happy. The belief is that the drug testing is “serious”, but the performers think management knows many people are drinking heavily and that painkiller use is high. Drinking is fine by the policy and painkillers are fine with prescriptions, and the heavy marijuana users, who have been warned to cut back, are beginning to turn to drinking and painkiller again.
It should be noted that there were 41 positive tests in WWE for marijuana usage that resulted in fines reports The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Testing took place between November 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008. It was reported on in 2008 that those who continued to test positive (which were many) were going to be facing more discipline than just simply paying a fine and were told to tone down their usage.
