Nick Diaz DESTROYED Shamrock.

he SMOKED him! ha!

nick diaz is my hero !!!!! an yes weed an totally worth it

Fuck fighting…..I am gonna go help Nick smoke all that lovely weed.

Nick is a fucking freedom fighter.

The thing is he needs to use cleansers because of the fact that weed can be seen weeks after in your urine (months after in your hair) and I doubt he’ll go weeks without weed prefight nor after. But noway he even smokes the same day he’s fighting. A lot and I mean a lot of MMA practitioners use weed as a way of relaxing the muscles after hard practice sessions and it is not uncommon at all.

You retarded people really think he fights high? Who the fuck would be stupid enough to step into the octagon high. Your reflexes turn into shit and you wont be able to go as long either. He probably smokes postfight and stops smoking a couple of days before because you’re always a little bit jammed the day after smoking.

CP: you win for your article. This is Ben at his finest.

im gonna smoke a blunt of purp with the diaz brothers one day

To all the guys talking about hair testing. True it is not cost effective. But the real problem lies in the the fact they a rather open window of when the banned substance was taken. It is not some sort of exact science that can detect when the substance was taken, just that the substance was taken. Whereas with the traditional UA testing they have a definitive time line to work with for how long every schedule 4 or higher ranked drug has been in your system. Hair testing would have been a easy way for lets say Josh Barnett to have his legal team argue ” Josh has a overgrown step cut CSAC guys. Sure he took the steroids. But that was a good 6 months before he put the spank on couture.”

So basically, the concern of the CSAC is to make sure the athlete is not under the influence of performance enhancing drugs during the fight. As far as what the guys are doing weeks after or months before is not their concern.

I’m with Bas. Diaz should have gotten “extra credit” for beating Gomi high. that is NOT performance enhancing. punches hurt more. your body just wants to relax. if you’re really high, your heart’s already beating faster. shooting hoops high is ok, but not running, and damn sure not fighting. Nick should be studied by scientists. If he knows for sure he can beat the tests i back him, but telling this to a reporter was just not very smart

If he passed the drug test, then can you say that he’s cheated the system? I don’t think so. The test itself will be evidence enough that the weed didn’t have an effect on his performance.

@Anonymous who said that weed wouldn’t help a fighter: I disagree. In a sport where training is intense and the performing at Nick’s level is intimidating to say the least, anything that can help a fighter manage his or her nerves may well give them the edge in a fight.

But Diaz is just a knucklehead. What reason does he have to have a prescription for pot? Anyone?

but in all seriousness, whats the big deal if the guy can smoke a bunch of weed and then fight? the guy has done pretty decent this far, why ridicule him? atleast he’s not drinking his own piss. (no hard feelings machida, love ya bro)

well nick thats a pretty “blunt” statement

In regards to, “You’re relying on herbal cleansers to keep you from getting fined, suspended, and possibly having the result of your bout changed to a no contest…again!? Have you learned nothing?”

I don’t think he really gives a shit. And I give him a golf clap for being honest and doing what he want’s to do regardless.

shamrock’s going humiliate this diaz character. In front of the WORLD.

let the man smoke

I hope some NORML guy can convince Nick to get a doctor’s note for his weed.
“Its medecine man, fuck you and the man and his rules, man!!”

They don’t care if you have a prescription or not if it’s on the athletic commission banned substance list then it’s on the banned substance list. Ryan Jensen had a perfectly legal prescription for Adderall and his fight still got pulled for using it before a fight. Nick can smoke all he wants in his free time and I doubt CSAC would care he just can’t have it in his system come fight time. I don’t know why people think a prescription matters in this?

Of course if Diaz can clear his system before the fight then he isn’t cheating the system he is conforming to it, if he gets it totally out of his system then there is no way it’s going to affect his peformance in the cage(positive or negative). If he’s clean for the fight then he is clean for the fight and if he gets caught that’s his own damn fault.

DIDN’T READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE THING, BUT JUST SAW THE BEST PICTURE OF MY LIFE AND WANTED YA’LL TO KNOW<3.

So what happens if he gets caught again? Are they gonna throw the book at him once for pissing hot, then again for being an idiot? I don’t care what he does in his personal time, but for him to announce it is just careless. Can’t wait to see him mugging it up at the frostee machine in Wendy’s some time soon

I hope this moron gets caught. I hope the CSAC takes a hair sample and see all the THC in his body. What a fucking moron…a huge fight and Nick tells a newspaper in CA none the less that he can easily deceive the people testing him

That would be like telling the judge in a criminal trial that you will find flaws in his court and will find a way to beat the guilty rap by cheating.

nick can blow dank all day. i don’t give a shit. but stop announcing it to the people that want to fuck you over. that makes all of us intelligent and rational pot smokers look like retards, and in turn will fuck up or chances to ever get it legalized, or at least ignored by the commissions.

IN bishes.

WAR MOTHERFUKIN DIAZ!

Keepin it real…Nick Diaz calls it like it is.

all this talk makes me want a bonghit myself

I like how someone pointed out

that in a sport where people are getting knee’d to the head, it seems like the governing bodies of that sport are worried about the fighters ruining their health by smoking some weed.

That is pretty damn funny. Maybe its the example the fighters are setting for the kids that’s the issue:

We need to put octagons in public parks so neighborhood kids can knee each other in the head all day instead of smoking pot. But damn, then Nick Diaz has to go and ruin it by showing kids they can do both!

Just a shining example of the thoughtless, knee-jerk, politically correct, zero tolerance, hypocritical thinking that this country excels at. I don’t smoke weed but yeah, if I wanted to why should it be anyone’s business? I think Employers ought to have to prove in court that weed smoking would be dangerous for a certain position before they are allowed to infringe on your privacy by asking if you smoke it or requiring you to take a drug test.

I think anyone who knows stoners knows that the decreased reaction time and slower thought process outweigh any pain suppression advantage that might be claimed. So tell me again other than being able to say you are ‘tough on drugs’ by catching fighters doing something you and your closest family members have probably done countless times, what is the point of this testing for weed in MMA? Oh what’s that? You are just going to stammer something about how I just don’t get it and walk away mad?

Of course you are. That’s why people who make these type of rules can’t stand to be argued with.

Don’t smoke weed man the goverment don’t want us too, Instead drink some ass juice(beer) and drive around run people over you do less jail time and become a instant hero to everyone.

PS::: WEED IS NOT A DRUG YOU FUCKING INBRED PIECES OF SHIT!!

Stockton Bitch!

mayhem is right, hair samples cost a lot, and they do take a few days to come back from the lab, but I have a funny feeling they’d spring for it if Diaz is just challenging them to catch him on a drug test.

Personally, I don’t smoke pot (jack daniel’s is more fun) but agree that it should be legalized, but in the meantime, anyone else think the cops make a few extra trips down the Diaz’s block this month…you know, just to check on stuff…

Yea, nick knows what he does :-p he’s a beast. I have grown to enjoy what he brings to the sport. I hope he breaks frank in half.

Nick is a funny guy, does what he wants and lives his life the way he wants. Makes me want to smoke a bowl with him.

We arent calling Diaz stupid for trying to pass a test with legal cleansers..were calling him stupid for taking the risk.

I dont give a shit what you believe in…..that is fucking D-U-M-B.

I cant wait for you to tell me how much of a smarty pants you think Diaz is when he fails another drug test like he did in Pride and UFC

Or… Or… What if Diaz is naturally clean right now, and he is just playing mind games with CSAC?! But what Are the chances of that…

Thank you, Ted Nutmeg.

There is nothing dumb about what Diaz said. It doesn’t matter that he has drawn the attention of the CSAC; we can all safely assume he already had their attention due to past incidents. The fact is that the CSAC can’t go at Diaz any “harder” based on this information. The reason is that like any regulatory entity, the CSAC is bound to follow its own testing protocol. It is not allowed to investigate any further than its written testing procedures allow. Moreover, CSAC is required to publish its testing protocol. So if Diaz figures out how to beat the test, Diaz wins, and he can talk about it all he wants. It doesn’t matter if a hair test would catch him unless the testing protocol includes a hair test. And if it does not, the CSAC can’t just add it on Thursday for a fight in Saturday. There is a process to revising regulations, typically involving public hearings and comment. It doesn’t happen overnight. All they can do is test him. If he passes, he passes. It’s not as though they can decide to hook him up to a polygraph. The only way Diaz can really screw himself is if the CSAC, in addition to testing, requires each fighter to make a sworn statement that he has not used a banned substance. If Diaz is asked to make such a statement, he would be setting himself for a criminal charge for making a false statement under oath. Aside from that, he’s good.

More fundamentally, God bless Nick Diaz for living his life as a free man. Yes, he’s crazy. No question. But he also has an innate sense of the proper extent to which the state may infringe upon the rights of the individual that seems to be dead-on. I fully support his refusal to allow government bureaucracy to dictate his personal choices. I don’t want to overstate the matter, but it was guys like Nick Diaz that dumped the tea into the harbor.

thats my dogg,and u konw this mannnnnnn!!

smoking weed should not be illegal and it should not be tested for in sports… how is it possibly gonna enhance his physical performance?

I’ve given up on Diaz. This guy is such a fucking jack ass. This is why he cant fight in the UFC.

Shieeet I love to smoke weed too but god damn dude, get paid first then enjoy your after fight activities.

The thing I don’t understand is , why do all of the stoners I know always get caught at least once. I mean.. if they know how to cheat the test, why do they always get caught at least part of the time.

Is smoking really worth losing money or a career over?

I hate that Nick refuses to stop toking even though POT is what overturned the best fight of his career..

and people say you can’t get addicted to marijuana..

if you continually smoke, KNOWING that it could nullify all that you’ve worked for if you get caught, you’ve got some sort of a problem..

the only thing i can’t figure out is..

Is the ‘high’ Nick Diaz the one that whoops ass, and the “marijuana-deprived” Nick Diaz that gets beat up? or vice versa? I just can’t figure him out..

he can look amazing in one fight, and get the shit kicked out of him the next.. yet he still wins almost all of his fights.. crazy..

My favorite fighter in the world…Nick Diaz.

he does have a prescription in california, Pierre.

its the water and sweat thing that works, not so much the cleansers.
THC stores in your fat cells so the easiest way to get it out of your body is to Sweat… ive Taken a clean UA 1 1/2 days after ive smoked…he knows what he’s doing.

I hope some NORML guy can convince Nick to get a doctor’s note for his weed.
“Its medecine man, fuck you and the man and his rules, man!!”

If its not performance enhancing, stop testing for the shit…
and if the CSAC still gives BS about ‘safety’ ask them if they would rather smoke a J or get muay thai kneed in the face because no weed in the world give a buzz like a knee to the face.
Pure indica.

Why does the CSAC even test for weed? It’s not performance enhancing in any way.

Whatever. I’m sure his next move will be to video himself rolling the phattest spliff the world has ever seen, spark it in the middle of a police station, and let them all know that they’ll never catch him because he’s just too damn gangsta. Then he’ll flip them off.

Best of luck Nicky

Nice way to blow up your own spot Nick…. now you know the CSAC is going to be looking for your test, if they were not already.
As for hair tests… I think they cost way to much money and take to long to come back, while urine tests are very fast to come back and very cheep, which also makes them the easiest to get over on.

“You’re relying on herbal cleansers to keep you from getting fined, suspended, and possibly having the result of your bout changed to a no contest…again!? Have you learned nothing?”

That was rhetorical right?

You’re a retard

Kadumel you are getting insane Ben(s) love these days son!!!

Nick Diaz rules.

Damn it Nick, don’t make me like you.

Does anyone know if the CSAC is completely ignorant of hair samples?

Perfect for the Sham – 4 possibilities here for him, all made better by ditzy Diaz.

1. He loses, Diaz tests negative – the win is under a (proverbial) cloud of suspicion

2. He loses, Diaz tests positive – his loss is a NC

3. He wins, Dias tests negative – He won against a ‘clean’ Nick Diaz

4. He wins, Dias tests positive – he managed to beat a doped up drug fiend

seriously he is hilarious how can you hate him

Herbal Cleansers don’t work if they take a hair sample test. Your move CSAC

Fuck it. I love this guy.

I agree he’s an idiot for disclosing that he can still outsmoke Snoop Dogg on any given day, but it’s not exactly like he’s applying to become a police officer. Then again if he was trying to run for president…

Funny…. this is how I passed all those probation tests that I had to take back in HS.

I don’t see the fascination in this kid.

hahaha.
diaz is an idiot.

I bet Gomi saw his eye’s in the 1st rd and thought “pfft, im gonna beat the piss outta this stoner.” Next thing you know, Gomi couldnt breath!

Be careful Frank.

LM-MF-AO

You got to love Nick Diaz. The guy is one in a million.

And, unlike the “Junie Brownings” of the world…he can at least fight. He’s a damn good fighter and athlete.

But, he is frickin’ hysterical. His honesty and how genuine he is, it’s just priceless.

This guy needs his own show.

hahah nick diaz is awesome

If I dipped my testicles in weed butter, would nick diaz lick them?

whaT A IDIOT

Don’t worry. He’ll mean mug another CSAC commissioner into forced retirement before he serves out another suspension.

Herbal cleansers, meaning that “green tea” that Nate brought back from Tijuana. The sweaty man he bought it from guaranteed it works. It cleans out your system, and it gets you high as FUCK.

ive got friends who use those cleansers to pass drug tests on the oil rigs… apparently they work great

WAR DIAZ

FIRST !!

Hahha, nick being nick
