Matt Every Reveals Cannabis Use Was the Reason for 3-Month PGA Tour Suspension

The PGA Tour announced Friday that Matt Every has been suspended three months for violating the conduct policy on drugs of abuse.

According to the Associated Press (h/t USA Today), Every said the suspension was a result of prescription cannabis: "To be clear, I tested positive for cannabis, a drug I do not abuse and a drug that I have a legal prescription for in the state of Florida."

Every added that he uses cannabis to aid his mental health:

"For me, cannabis has proven to be, by far, the safest and most effective treatment.
