RVD Accuses WWE of Basing Past Marijuana Ban on Misinformation

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, RVD was asked about WWE lifting the ban on marijuana. RVD made it clear he wasnt surprised that WWE changed its stance because he always believed the ban would eventually be lifted, adding that he was ahead of the curve.

RVD pointed out that cigarettes were widely accepted despite their serious health risks, while marijuana was classified as a dangerous drug even though no one has ever overdosed from it. He felt it was important to educate people, but back then, few were willing to listen and accused WWE of basing its past marijuana ban on such misinformation.

RVD also noted that people often follow rules without questioning them, comparing it to stopping at a four-way stop sign even when no cars are around. He said that society once saw marijuana as harmful, but now many of the same people who opposed it use cannabis edibles to help them sleep.

RVD also questioned past arguments that marijuana would lead to harder drugs, noting that there has been no wave of people admitting they progressed from edibles to heroin. He believes the change in public opinion only happened because the government finally acknowledged they were wrong about marijuana.

This comes after Michin explained that since marijuana has become more legal, WWE has become more accepting of it. She alsonoted that it was previously on WWEs banned substance list but was removed a few years ago.

RVD has always been a strong supporter of marijuana in the wrestling world. His current comments show how much opinions have changed over time. Now that WWE acknowledges new laws, the discussion about marijuana use in wrestling has clearly evolved and RVD couldnt be happier about the change.
