Diaz Fails Post-Fight Drug Test; Tests Positive for Mary Jane

Well this is crazy…

Apparently Nick Diaz has failed the post-fight drug test he took directly after his submission win over PRIDE Lightweight Champion Takanori Gomi at PRIDE 33: The Second Coming. The Nevada State Athletic Commission stated that he has tested positive for marijuana.

Next comes the standard procedure that we are starting to become all too familar with…

Diaz will have to schedule a hearing with the NSAC if he decides to go against the ruling. He will most likely be suspended for six months, at least that’s what has happened for other athletes who have tested positive for the drug recently. The big question is whether or not this suspension will be issued along with his six month medical suspension or if it will be issued after that.

In case anyone was wondering, all of the other fighters passed their drug tests with flying colors…

Get a clue Dave, does nick look like he munches out?? the smoking herb and munching out thought pattern is ignorant.  it’s a mentality of a 5th grader at best.  You prob posted that jiberish DRUNK, after driving back from the BAR.  When is society gonna WAKE UP.  When??  I just hate the ignorance and misunderstanding of Marijuana, esp from people who get drunk, drive, beat their wifes and act like it’s cool cuz Booze is legal…. I guess it’s because IGNORANCE IS FREE.

Dude, it’s a quote from Half Baked.

Don’t get all riled up, especially when defending weed.  Drinking and driving?  Wife beating?  Seriously, this about marijuana… chilllllll.

Brian: For 400 dollars I got Jerry Garcia in a pouch, man!
Thurgood Jenkins: Who the f**k told you that?
Brian: The man who sold it to me, Barry Garcia.
Thurgood Jenkins: So who is that, Jerry Garcia’s brother?
Brian: No, actually it was Andy Garcia’s brother.

Typical Nick Diaz crap. All the talent in the world, and he can’t figure out how to use it. Now with his medical suspension, he could be out for up to a year.


This should make clear to everyone the real reason Dana White passed on his contract.

Willie: You know how much condoms cost back then?
Dave: Nope..
Willie: I dont either… we never used them.

Craig is obviously pro-weed, and Dave won my heart with an uber movie quote.

i’m pro non-ignornace that’s all.  weed is bad but take vicadin’s or oxi or juice’n up like Tim Sylvia or gettind drunk after your fight or having a booze fest that people have to drive and drive to leave is okay….. ALCHOL; THE REAL GATEWAY DRUG.  WEED=NATURAL, NOT MANUFACTURED.  for god’s sake our history is built on weed, G.Washington, Hancock, they all grew it and smoke’d. 


ALSO I DON’T WASTE MY TIME MEMORIZES LINES FROM MOVIES THAT TRY TO STEREOTYPE WEED SMOKERS…. BUT I GUESS I’M OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.

secondly, why do they test for weed? it’s not a performance enhancer or a somethng that makes u beat your wife, drive off the road, drive into a bus of kids, loose control of your life…. so why? why waste time with it? it is 2007 right?? oh well i guess Nick should take a bunch of valium they are legal i guess.

In the above article, NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer provides insight as to why the test for marijuana.

““Most marijuana tests are done with employment tests. What they use as a limit is 15 nanograms per millimeter, what we do here is we raised it to 50 nanograms* so there is no way if someone tests positive with that level that it was second hand smoke or done weeks ago. It was done recently and is in their system. It’s more than three times what is tested for in normal marijuana tests. If you’re over 50 nanograms there is concern of a slow down in reflexes or being more impervious to pain. So it could either be a disadvantage or an advantage. Most of the time I think it’s the former. Most of the guys that have tested positive recently for marijuana got beat and got beat bad including Joe Pearson. Just like we wouldn’t let them go to the ring under the influence of alcohol, we don’t want to do that with marijuana” Mr. Kizer said.”
