NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has agreed to not randomly test players for marijuana this season.

It’s a continuation of the policy that was put in place last year for the restart bubble and has remained since. Drug testing will continue for things such as human growth hormone, other performance-enhancers and “drugs of abuse” such as methamphetamine, cocaine and opiates.

More than half of the states in the U.S. have decriminalized possessing small amounts of marijuana.
