NBA star Kevin Durant likes cannabis, and he’s not afraid to tell the world.


According to Benzinga, Durant last year announced a partnership with marijuana investment company Canopy Rivers via his investment firm. He’s also supported Dutchie, a delivery service, according to the publication.


Now, Durant is becoming an advocate for cannabis use among NBA players and wants it to be taken off the banned substances list, according to the outlet.


In an episode of “All The Smoke,” which airs on Showtime, Durant said:

“It’s just like, marijuana is marijuana. It’s not harmful to anybody. It can only help and enhance and do good things. I feel like it shouldn’t even be a huge topic around it anymore.”

In a separate interview, NetsDaily.com reports Durant is dedicated to fighting stigma and supports social equity efforts to free incarcerated individuals with cannabis offenses.


“We start getting people out of jail for marijuana. That’s the next step,” he told the publication. “It’s a plant that’s put here for a reason, and that’s to bring us together. Hopefully it happens (removing marijuana from the banned substance list), especially in the NBA.”

What Is Acapulco Gold Cannabis?
 
Acapulco Gold is a legendary sativa-dominant cannabis strain that originated in Mexico's Guerrero region during the 1960s. Known for its distinctive golden-colored buds and potent cerebral effects, this landrace strain has maintained its reputation as one of the most sought-after varieties among cannabis connoisseurs.
The strain typically contains 18-25% THC with minimal CBD (under 2%), making it primarily psychoactive rather than therapeutic in the traditional CBD sense.

        Weed Makes Me Antisocial: Help!
    
Many people can relate to the experience of “hitting a wall” socially. Introverts, you especially know what I mean. But when self-enforced isolation is weed-induced, does that mean it’s time to reconsider a few habits or routines? Maybe even take a break from weed entirely?
Cannabis has long been negatively associated with laziness and haziness, and although that isn’t always the case with cannabis consumers, it also isn’t that far off from the truth if you haven’t optimized your regimen. Marijuana use, in particular, has occasionally been linked to various mental health and behavioral effects, such as anxiety, paranoia, and antisocial behavior, while also being linked to alleviating these same symptoms. So it's important to understand how cannabis works with and for your body and needs.
