The WNBA Dropped Its Cannabis Ban and Added Psilocybin, DMT, and Ibogaine to the Banned List
Under the new CBA finalized in May 2026, the WNBA removed cannabis from its prohibited substances list entirely, while adding psilocybin, psilocin, DMT, and ibogaine to it for the first time — the two drug categories moving in opposite directions in the same document. It's a small, specific data point in a much bigger pattern: legal and cultural comfort with cannabis keeps growing while psychedelics remain treated as the newer, less-settled risk, even as federal research funding and executive-branch attention move the other way. Worth noting the practical side too — several of the newly-banned compounds clear the bloodstream within 24 hours, which limits how much a ban like this can actually detect after the fact.
