Is that why they raised the limit on the amount of metabolites you can have in your system after each time he got busted for it? Whether they have it out for him or not at this point is irrelevant. He needs to man the fuck up and either pick a line of work where this won't inhibit his ability to earn a living, or put the blunt down.
He's a grown ass man, and he's going to bitch and moan every time he gets in trouble for doing the same shit he already knew wasn't permitted, and with a decreased chance of popping for it each time no less. It's time to stop putting the blame on NSAC for Nick Diaz not being in control of his own life.
He's a grown ass man with a prescription for medical marijuana that he received from his doctor. Obviously he enjoys the stuff like most people, but the fact he is prescribed this stuff means he is simply taking his medication.
Now, it's obviously in his best interest to put it down for a little while before the fight so he doesn't fail any tests and get suspended/banned again, but it's really stupid that he gets in so much trouble because it's just weed, it's not a PED, and because he has been informed by his doctor to take the stuff to treat what ever it is he needs it for.
The fact they even test for it is just stupid. Yes, he should put it down for a little while so he doesn't get in trouble again, but the fact that it's such a big deal is really just dumb. It's not a PED, it doesn't enhance your performance or give you any sort of edge over your opponent, so I don't see why it's a big deal. It shouldn't be banned. It doesn't do anything for you, it doesn't make you a better fighter, it doesn't benefit you in any way in terms of making your performance better. There is no advantage to smoking weed while in camp and being high during the fight. If anything, you're at more of a disadvantage. Most people wouldn't be able to fight at the level Nick is fighting at if you're high as fuck.
The whole thing is a big joke and you know it.
Yes, Nick is in the wrong here because it is a banned substance - but that doesn't mean anybody has to agree with it being banned.
Inb4 a bunch of idiots act like weed is a PED. The people that say that probably haven't even smoked it before.
