Then, as I remember, all those who consumed pills began to complain, 'these other types can smoking marijuana'. Then they added cannabis, but it was not a cause of suspension, only a fine of $ 1,000. At that time, I was already on the crest of the wave, earning a lot of money, especially for me at that time.
I thought, if they do the test once a month and the fine is $ 1000, that is $ 12,000 a year '. I went with John laurinaitis and I said, 'Can I give you a check for $ 12,000 a year? Because I'm going to smoke. ' Then they raised the fine to $ 2500. We were four, I included, I will not say who, but we competed to see who had more fines. After several fines of $ 2500 and others of $ 1000 … I could have bought a new car with all those fines for marijuana. I finally stopped smoking for a while, ”says the veteran in the podcast Marking Out.
Currently, Cannabis is not on the list of substances prohibited by WWE.
