Nick Diaz tests positive for marijuana; disciplinary action pending

[Nikk.Durham]

damn this is a fucking silly country and planet we live on, Weed, come on man, illegal drugs are a law inforcement issue not a athletic commission issue, if it aint steroids it's none of the athletic commission's business,

I don't think I have ever seen a statement with this much truth in it. Props to you bro

Has it been said he has ADHD? I'd wager its Aspergers going by first hand knowledge. His temperament in and outside the cage, straight forward but odd way of speaking, extreme but limited interests all point to Aspergers. But then again they seem to cross over symptoms a lot.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't he use marijuana for his ADHD? The prescription drug they use to treat ADHD is Adderal, a combination of dextroamphetamine and amphetamine. Is Adderal on the banned substances list? Why would an athletic commission allow an amphetamine to be in his system and not the safer option of marijuana? Amphetamine's are way harder on an athlete's body and can absolutely act as a PED in the cage.

Of course it is on the banned substance list.

Xanax puts you to sleep unless you have a tolerance to it then it wakes some people up but can make you stupider depending how much you take. Makes you too relaxed and causes weakness and bad decision skills

Adderral should be called superman. That stuff is borderline Meth/cocaine, for most people anyway. A doctor once told me he would not prescribe me Adderral (when I was thinking about going back to school for a trade skill)for my A.D.D. because amphetamines make people go crazy. Im glad he didnt cuz I wouldve just got hooked on that shit. destroys your body. just sayin

Try playing against someone in a video game like Street Fighter that just smoked urb. They will usually kick ass until they come down. Then they have to smoke again to get back on that high ass kickin level. I dont think it would help in a fight to be high for most people, but a lot of fighters do smoke to get to sleep the night before a fight to calm the ef down. Some smoke all day before their fight. Depends on the person. Im half and half on seeing urb as a P.E.D. for mma. Makes you jits flow like water though.

YEs OJ is a PED, just like water, food and others. The difference is that they are not on the banned substances list. So you are legally allowed to drink water to quench your thirst after a workout, or eat protein to nourish your muscles. Not smoke weed for whatever you are smoking it for. That prescription thing does not even work in California. When you apply for a job for any respectable company that does drug testing, you cannot test positive, show them your medical marijuana card and still get employed. The only thing that card and the phony prescription that most Cali users have is the ability to purchase marijuana related products at dispensaries. Everybody knows it's bullshit. I am not against it, but please lay the, let him use it, he medically needs it bullshit. The medical use of weed in Cali is less than 1% I bet.

I think he's just determined to be himself no matter what the pressure/cost. It's really admirable IMO.
