Cesar Gracie: Nick Diaz medical marijuana card possibly the reason forced out of Strikeforce event

rofl, makes perfect sense.

Goshdarn Hippies, hahahahaaahhaaaha

hahaha, that is sum funny stuff

lame.

Wow, I guess he thought by getting a license after the gomi fight would allow him to smoke it and not get in trouble anymore. Hey kids, if you can’t smoke them legally, get a medical license so you can smoke them without getting in trouble.

This could be legit though, in no way am I going to act like a judge and condemn a guy that has a mental disorder, but I thought medical marijuana was only allowed to ppl that has physical pains. Any doctors in the house care to explain this better for us?

I’ll side with him on this only because he supposedly has a real problem, but I’m no fan of potheads.

I remember seeing a report that in California it isn’t that hard now to find a ‘doctor’ that will write a prescription for pot for you — not saying he doesn’t have a valid need for it, but it is a possibility. In that report a high schooler was suing the school because they expelled her for having pot, although she had a license for it.

I will admit that I cant fall asleep with out smoking either. I smoke before most of my classes and I do pretty well.

Diaz smokes pot, so does the rest of the world, commision needs to get over it and let the man fight!

If you have a perscription or a card, then what’s the problem?
Putting personal views aside, the law says he’s in the right, so that’s all that matters and i have to support him on this one. Go Nick, still one of my favorite fighters

First Shields, now Diaz. Who’s next Shamrock. I was so excited to see this card, now I couldn’t care less!!!!

I SMOKE POT!!!!!!!

wow bebe im moving to cali where the grass is green and nick is cheefin like lil john wouls say yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What a bunch of shit. Diaz knows that it is banned and therefore should not use it before he fights. I think ADD is just an excuse to smoke weed for Diaz and i have no respect for the POTHEAD.

THeres alot of legal drugs that athletes arent allowed to take isnt there? HE wouldnt be able to take vicodins close to the fight if he just got his tooth out or some shit. I also have a.d.d. and when I smoke weed it just gets worse. Anyway its too bad Nick wont be fighting.

I SMOKE POT!!!!!!!

i cannot confirm nor deny that i do the same

.>

cough cough cough

seriously though, if the doctor prescribed it, then it shouldn’t be a problem. the only issue i see is that, yeah it is legal in California.. but only as far as the state authorities are concerned. it doesn’t overrule the FEDERAL laws that make it illegal. so yeah he can’t be arrested by the state police force, but the feds still can.

Im not a doctor but have done a lot of research into this subject and you will find many specialist and docotrs who think medical marijuana is a whole lot better then riddlin for ADD for ADHD. Ridlin in fact is only two molocuels away from speed! While marijuana on the other hand is all natural. Medical marijuana tends to have a much lower level of a THC content because its so much made for getting high as it is to get the effects of ADD to calm down. If Gracie says Diaz has ADD so bad he can not sleep, I have to believe him and it sucks that Diaz can not fight because of this. He won that fight over Gomi fair and square it is complete bs that he had the won taken away from him. Im still waiting for an explantion on how marijauna is a performance enhancing drug. Hell they have basically stopped testing snowboarders in the Olypmics for it because well its kinda reduntant.

Whether it’s prescription or not, how the hell can pot be classed as a performance enhancing drug? I’m not a user of it, but doesn’t it just make you mellow and relaxed? I guess maybe it just numbs senses and gives you a high pain tolerance? I don’t know. But if Nick knows that it’s a banned substance, wouldn’t he be smart enough to know when to stop taking it to test clean before a fight? Oh well, there’s another 50K that won’t be in his pocket. I love the guy and he’s an awesome fighter to watch, but he must be a bit of a dumbass…

I SMOKE POT!!!!!!!

Hey John, do you smoke ‘em for fun or just because of the sleeping disorder? I wouldn’t take you for the smoker type but to each his own.

Linx: To be honest, I smoke all day long! I wish I didnt but it does help me focus when doing school work and I havent fell asleep at night with out smoking 1st in years. Nothing to be proud of, but its the reality. I smoke before going to the gym and in High school I used to smoke before basketball practices, but not games. My point is that there is nothing wrong with some grass. I function a lot better with it than with out it. Then again, I know people who get real stupid when stoned and cant do anything. Its different for everyone.

The point is its not big enough of a deal that it should hinder Diaz’s career. By the way Diaz’s eats weed more then he smokes it.

But if Nick knows that it’s a banned substance, wouldn’t he be smart enough to know when to stop taking it to test clean before a fight?

Problem is marijuana stays in your system for a long time so if your smoking pot to help you sleep getting no sleep at all for lets say a week (and that is with a very very high amount of water in take) would probably not be the best thing before a fight. Although if the above statement is correct at all, its completely is own dumb ass fault for not submitting his papers quickly enough to the CASC.

The whole situation of medical marijuana in California is kinda crazy because state laws have legalized it yet the DEA which acts underneath federal law still says its illegal so places that are selling medical marijuana are still have raids left right and center.

He won that fight over Gomi fair and square it is complete bs that he had the won taken away from him. Im still waiting for an explantion on how marijauna is a performance enhancing drug.

I agree that it has nothing to do with enhancing physical performance, but it does effect the mind (has a short effect during and after smoking it, and of course the life long effect of brain damage that could make someone less aware during a fight). I think they most base their ban on it for the sake of good role model.

I take meds for ADD, and while I don’t think athletes should be tested for non performance enhancing drugs like pot (it’s invasion of privacy), this is complete bullshit. Most meds that treat ADD are basically amphetamines – one way to look at it is that the part of the brain that organizes and focuses in most people is constantly falling asleep in people with ADD. Pot is basically a downer – there’s no way it’s helping a person with ADD.

its not teh 80s anymore. the brain damage thing has been debunked by many clinical trials.

Diaz is totally right. Prescription drugs kill thousands of people every year and turn people into zombies, not to mention side effects. Meanwhile pot has caused 0 deaths nor does it cause long term damage if used in moderation.

Anyone in California can get a medical marijuana license. There are certain doctors that will hand them out freely. My boy just got one. The reason was because he was burned pretty badly about 25 years ago. He has some scars but it is all BS. We were laughing about it. I am sure that Diaz’s ADD is BS too.

Piss poor excuse to try and legalize and legitimize a useless drug. As usual it goes to show that if you find an immoral doctor and pay them enough you can get scrips for anything. Amp, Oxy, Pot… Regardless of any arguement outside of the cage/ring it is banned inside the cage and for a reason! There is no drug test that can tell when it was taken, only that it is there. There is no doubt or argument that it dulls pain. So how the hell are you supposed hurt and finish someone who potentially has a muted sense of pain. No it is not going to hide the fact that your arm is being torn off but it still presents a possible advantage through drugs. Just like Roids!!! Be a man and fight clean and fair or go back with your like and do it on the streets.

its not teh 80s anymore. the brain damage thing has been debunked by many clinical trials.

Since when do burned brain cells come back active? I didn’t get that memo.

Hey John, it’s really mind over matter when it comes to addiction. Your body has become dependent to weed, because as you stated you smoke a lot during the day. You won’t be able to sleep properly without smoking because of that. The effects the weed has on you is different than someone who’d smoke once a week, you won’t feel as drowsy as someone that smokes much less but trust me, you’re not immune to the problems that weeds gives. Since you’re addicted only therapy will help you quit if you’d be interested. I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes everyday for 10 years. When I quit I didn’t have a good night sleep for weeks, but trust me, the grass is greener on the other side.

I don’t know about you guys but, Adult ADD seems like something I might have. And I’m obviously a “nauralist” at hea… Oh my god, did you hear that? Anyway, what was I talking about? I like turtles.

Since when do burned brain cells come back active? I didn’t get that memo.

Since multiple clinical trials have shown that it doesn’t burn brain cells.

If he never submitted a pee sample then how could he test negative? The CSAC needs a list of REPUTABLE doctors that are approved for mary jane prescriptions. All the athletes who used HGH for performance enhancement got them from “doctors” at “wellness clinics” so just having a scrip doesn’t necesarily make it legit. If Diaz honestly has a condition that requires a little cool bud and wants to fight as well, he needs to make sure he knows every last rule about it for both the state of California and the athletic commission and dots all the i’s and crosses his t’s. And as I’ve heard people here in Texas say, poison ivy is natural too, but that don’t mean you have to waller in it.

Since multiple clinical trials have shown that it doesn’t burn brain cells.

I could be wrong, but I haven’t heard this one yet. I’ll research it though :)

Smoking weed isn’t cheating. All it will do is make you slow to tap. That’s not necessarily a good thing. Soo… good luck Nick and get back in there and entertain dammit.

Nick “Big Smoke” Diaz!!! I’m in the feeling that pot is not a performance enhancing drug. There is no way as stated above that it dulls you enough that someone isn’t able to hurt you. That is ridiculous. It isn’t gonna keep you conscious if Rampage gives you a right hook. I’m pretty sure you’ll know it if GSP gives you an armbar or a kimura. Ridiculous.

I don’t know about you guys but, Adult ADD seems like something I might have. And I’m obviously a “nauralist” at hea… Oh my god, did you hear that? Anyway, what was I talking about? I like turtles.

LMAO, ‘I like turtles’ hilarious kid! good times at youtube.

How stupid is Diaz? This is the second fight that pot is going to cost him. And of top of that this makes him a liar. After he tested positive after the Gomi fight Diaz said, “I don’t abuse drugs normally; it was a one-time thing. It was very embarrassing for me to test positive.” Diaz is only 24, so he has a chance to clean up his act. If he doesn’t he will be one of the great talented failures in MMA history.

Note to self: Move to Cali, Get ADD.

LMAO… was just gonna say…I’m moving to Cali with a severe case of insomnia!!!

P.S…. I smoke weed immediately after my Kickboxing sparring sessions, chills me out for my bus ride home so I’m not all hyper on the bus!

Oh and of course…during UFC shows, but then i always feel guilty and end up doing a couple of hundered sit ups once i’ve got all pumped up from watching the fights…

how do i get a medical pot card in Kentucky?

What a bunch of shit. Diaz knows that it is banned and therefore should not use it before he fights. I think ADD is just an excuse to smoke weed for Diaz and i have no respect for the POTHEAD.

Yeh but how much booze do you drink??? That stuff is 50 times worse than POT, Brain damage, liver damage, bowel cancer and list goes on…and people by enlarge act like assholes when they are drunk…I’ve NEVER seen a fight between two stoned warriors! It’s just a case of pass the cookies to the left

i dont smoke pot myself, but i dont think it is perfomance enhancing or healthy(lung wise) for a pro athelete. i know people who smoke all day long and have good jobs and own their own buisnesses. i also have friends and relatives who smoke all day and are lazy, wont work, and are in and out of jail alot, so its depends on the individual and how it affects them. imo pot isnt as dangerous as alcohol wich is legal and pot doesnt burn brain cells like alcohol. so to me its kind of a double edged sword. i think it should be legal for the most part, but atheletes should stay away from it. diaz needs to learn another way to deal w/ his sleep and anxiety, adhd problems.

also im sure mma’s, and most pro sports biggest concern w/ pot is that someone might get seriously injured or killed in a fight and then test positive for pot wich could be a major lawsuit.

IF you think pot helps that much with pain I’ve got a big doobie right here I let you smoke, if you’ll let me hit you one time right in the nose.

what a bucnch of BS. they should stay out of his personal life and just let him fight

I dont think it would even help with pain that much..i mean when i went too school i got into a few fights with kids on pot..and when i hit them they felt it haha..imagine if a pro athlete hits Diaz in the face and breaks his nose..hes ganna feel it..and if he get hit in the right spot he will still go to sleep..they should let him fight

i’m just lit on the weekends SO THAT IT DOESN"T INTERFERE WITH MY WORK and DON"T have a cannibis card. it is in NO WAY a performance enhancing drug. in fact i think that it hinders a fighter’s fierceness in the ring. i gaurentee you the diaz that ko’d lawler was not lit up because THAT diaz looked PISSSSED off. i may sound like a hypocrite but i think it would do wonders to diaz’s career if he retired the bong (even though he beat gomi all high). His striking will be more crisp and powerful, He won’t be as tired, quicker reflexes. If he is serious about fighting, he’s going to have to make the necessary adjustments because these types of stipulations come with the territory. Theres a million MFers that’d love to be where he is at now. Besides that, an ADD pissed off, borderline cracked out diaz could lay worse of a beating on his opponent than a halfbaked diaz. LAY DOWN THE TWEEDS & KICK SOME A$$ DIAZ!!

will admit that I cant fall asleep with out smoking either. I smoke before most of my classes and I do pretty well.

I see no coerrelation with any negative effects of marijuana, besides effects on the respitory system and maybe a slight reduction in reaction times, both is is hardly a performance enhancing drug, more like a performance handicap. I’ve written 10 page papers on the long term negative effects on bud and when compared to the effects of alcohol or cigarettes and, without going into detail, herb is minuscule when dealing in areas of health and fatalities.

I too smoke before class, bed, sometimes gym, after I eat, pretty much all the time. I’m not a bum either, I am a mechanical engineer student in my senior year and I intern for a municipality.

I see no coerrelation with marijuana affecting success, especially the Cali kush!! One of Earth’s natural luxuries, so reward yourself before during and after a hard days of work. You will feel better. Nick has the right idea.

Many good points presented here….as well as many ignorant statements. Any of you “boozers” who really think drinking a few six packs or twelve packs a week is better than a toke evey now and then (or every few hours) is uninformed and naive.

Bluegrass, john, Toelock, and a few others have a very good perspective on this situation. You others need to get drunk together. The rest of us will be chillin out with some hoes passing around a blunt….and wake up feeling great the next day.

Last I checked, you can’t actually form a real dependency on marijuana. If you want to quit smoking weed, you just do it. You don’t have to detox or really do any rehab like with heroin or cocaine. Any dependency you for on it is all in your head. It’s just a habit, good or bad.

As far as people banning it because it’s unsafe or they’re being good role models, there are plenty of holes in that argument as well. As a culture, we find it more acceptable to drink our intoxicants than inhale them. Alcohol is easily as unsafe as weed. Drinking alcohol also damages the liver (obviously) and also kills brain cells. There’s really no logical reason, as far as I’m concerned, as to why alcohol is legal (and I’m glad it is) and marijuana is not. I think it’s just taboo to some people.

I could be wrong, but I haven’t heard this one yet. I’ll research it though :)

Linx you obviously believe every word Nancy Reagan told you in the 80’s. you would probably believe everything in the propaganda filled movie “reefer madness” which is complete BS.

hey kama kaze just cause he tested positive doesnt mean he was high during his fight with Gomi.
 F*** the CSAC.

FYI… you’re a bookworm and don’t know what you’re talking about. It doesn’t dull the pain. try getting a tattoo high and tell us if the pain is “muted”.

I’m pretty sure any substance can become dependable, even coke (coca cola). And since you hit the nail on the weed/drink comparison, it’s not we as a society who decides one is bad role model and the other is good, it’s the government. To me their both bad substance and I won’t allow any of my future kids to have them, but since the government makes money keeping cigarettes and alcohol legal, they’ll just say don’t drink or smoke responsibly, since they can’t make money out of weed it’s illegal and they’ll say don’t do it.

hey kama kaze just cause he tested positive doesnt mean he was high during his fight with Gomi.
F*** the CSAC.

dude… did you see him as they were interviewing him after the fight?!?! lol.. glossy eyes, soft spoken, stumbling over his words. hey i’m just drawing my own conclusion. he was GONE!

Well put, I’m with you 100% on this. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Hippy Lettuce now and again. It does nothing good for a fighter. Now if you’re a true pothead you won’t let that fly, and you will argue that statement (like Joe R) until you die. But come on bro, you really think putting smoke of any kind in your lung is good for you? Get you mind right and go whoop some ass Nick!!!!

dude… did you see him as they were interviewing him after the fight?!?! lol.. glossy eyes, soft spoken, stumbling over his words. hey i’m just drawing my own conclusion. he was GONE!

yeah thats after the fight, if i just finshed getting puched in the face by gomi i would lighht up too.

To me their both bad substance and I won’t allow any of my future kids to have them

Most people won’t, but your kids WILL try drugs while living under your roof.

I don’t smoke, but I’m pretty sure it won’t help you in a fight.

I also know that the California State Athletic Commission is full of crap and I would love to see fans boycott events held there and then maybe the big organizations will only hold events in state’s that let fighters fight!

I have ADD and sleeping problems. If I don’t smoke more then likely I’m not going to pay attention in class and if I try to fall asleep Ill be in bed for two hours wondering why I haven’t fell asleep yet. It goes naturally without having to do anything to it. Let him fight it doesn’t give him any advantages maybe even a slight disadvantage.

Dude HE eats the WEED! So it doesnt affect his lungs! Get your fact straight!

I love pot. Smoke it every day. If I needed to stop for somethign important….like being a proffessional fighter I would. I’ve stopped for 12 months before. He can’t sleep because he’s a pothead. If you’re in the routine of smoking every day than if you just stop you’re gonna have problmes…like sleeping issues. It’s withdrawl. You gotta deal with it though. This guys a cry baby

yeah thats after the fight, if i just finshed getting puched in the face by gomi i would lighht up too.

me neither, but i’m saying he was high during the fight. right after he won the fight, during the interview in the ring. watch it over. its obvious.

Most people won’t, but your kids WILL try drugs while living under your roof.

I don’t doubt that for one second, my kids will have sex before they leave my house too but I’m not going to condone it. What I meant to say is that some parents actually do not care and condone this type of behavior from their kids, and as a result their kids grow up not caring about the impact it will have on them and society. But it’s normal for ppl to smoke it while young, I mean, I tried it, but I’m glad I didn’t try it twice…

Dont forget the CSAC is the same commision that handled sherk and baronis case in a totally unproffesional way.

These commisions are like a bunch of old dictators that want to control everything what the fight organizations need to do is stay out of cali because when it comes down to it its all about money.

Yes the commisions have an important purpose of ensuring legitimacy and safety but thats where there power ends. Thats why I cant wait for Dream to be as big as pride

What a bunch of shit. Diaz knows that it is banned and therefore should not use it before he fights. I think ADD is just an excuse to smoke weed for Diaz and i have no respect for the POTHEAD.

ur such a dork how the hell do u know what his medical situation is…ur jus a hater,,i bet if over-rated chuck said it u would be bakeing him,,hey fat bj smokes weed why dont u hate on him

Its just pot whats the big deal alchohol is worse than pot and I bet 80% of fighters drink have you ever heard of some dick smoking a joint and going home and beating his wife and kids? or of a stoned driver killing a family of four in his/her car because they were to high? I dont smoke personally but people should get off his back he has a licence that is supposed to make it legal right? It has no performance enhancing qualities so what do they worry about? Eat balls haters!!!

Linx you obviously believe every word Nancy Reagan told you in the 80’s. you would probably believe everything in the propaganda filled movie “reefer madness” which is complete BS.

Let the man smoke all he wants so what its not like he’s taking steroids or something (hmmmm muscle shark) this is almost legal up here in Canada and this doesn’t enhance your performance as far as I know it hurts it stamina and stuff.

Smoke away Nick the only problem I have is he don’t pass it around, puff puff pass.

me neither, but i’m saying he was high during the fight. right after he won the fight, during the interview in the ring. watch it over. its obvious.

i just watched the fight again,& if Nick was stoned what was Gomi on that night. he looked bad. i didnt see the post fight interview you mention, was it from the same night or is it the 1 from the next day where Nick was wearing shades to coverup his f-ed up eyes. as for his speech i think he always sounds like that. its just the way him & Nate talk.

there are always holes in an argument because it is impossible to form a perfect argument. the fact of the matter is it doesn’t matter what your personal belief of it is.
weed is a banned substance for fighters! if you dont like that you can just not be a fighter! they know what the banned substances are. if they want to use them its their problem. if you would rather toke up than try to be a fighter then go ahead. just don’t be a user and make excuses when you test positive. don’t even bother showing up. its the rules. thats just how it is. if you dont like the rules for where you’re at or where you want to be, don’t be there and don’t go there. if you aren’t mature enough to follow the rules that govern your profession you have no room to complain.
and as for Diaz, he should have handed his papers in on time.

ur such a dork how the hell do u know what his medical situation is…ur jus a hater,,i bet if over-rated chuck said it u would be bakeing him,,hey fat bj smokes weed why dont u hate on him

i just watched the fight again,& if Nick was stoned what was Gomi on that night. he looked bad. i didnt see the post fight interview you mention, was it from the same night or is it the 1 from the next day where Nick was wearing shades to coverup his f-ed up eyes. as for his speech i think he always sounds like that. its just the way him & Nate talk.

immediately after the submission, in the ring.

whats wrong with an ambien

Dude HE eats the WEED! So it doesnt affect his lungs! Get your fact straight!

immediately after the submission, in the ring.

i gonna have to get vid from a friend of mine to see the in ring post fight interview again. but right after getting punched numerous times from Gomi anyone would be a litte glossy eyed,and stumble with words. that punch that put Diaz on the mat looked pretty solid. if Gomi hit me that hard i be subdued & glassy eyed too.

funny as, so right too, lets not forget the fact that you start to dream properly again as well, and mine are usually F**** *P

This has been a humorous thread

JOHN HA HA LOL your smarter then that!!!!YOUR trying to tell me Nick only eats brownies and whatever else he wants to throw some green butter in? That he never hit the bong, J, blunt, cherrychung, Apple, gravity bong, soda can, milk jug, revrun, gasmask, steamroller, or anything else? Come on homie…don’t be so high b/f you write in!!!!

No it is not going to hide the fact that your arm is being torn off but it still presents a possible advantage through drugs. Just like Roids!!! Be a man and fight clean and fair or go back with your like and do it on the streets.

Gee man I smoke weed all the time and I still scream when I smack my hand with a hammer. It still hurts when I get hit at practice. Guess that means at least to me that your argument is bullshit.

JOHN HA HA LOL your smarter then that!!!!YOUR trying to tell me Nick only eats brownies and whatever else he wants to throw some green butter in? That he never hit the bong, J, blunt, cherrychung, Apple, gravity bong, soda can, milk jug, revrun, gasmask, steamroller, or anything else? Come on homie…don’t be so high b/f you write in!!!!

why? eating it is better all around. you realize how much THC you lose to smoking? 80%. 80% of it goes up in a puff of a smoke. when you eat it, you get it all, same as if you use a vaporizer (which happens to be the method besides eating suggested by doctors). a vaporizer heats it up to where it releases teh THC as a mist like vapor without burning it so that you don’t get the carcinogins and such.

and so what if he does smoke it every once in a while?

i gonna have to get vid from a friend of mine to see the in ring post fight interview again. but right after getting punched numerous times from Gomi anyone would be a litte glossy eyed,and stumble with words. that punch that put Diaz on the mat looked pretty solid. if Gomi hit me that hard i be subdued & glassy eyed too.

You’ll know what I’m talking about after watching the interview at the end of the fight. And if you still want to disagree that he WAS NOT high, you obviously either haven’t smoked before or never took note of high behavior.

What is this Weed. com? This is an MMA blog, not highTimes. com. Thanks for the Weed101!! I know about a Vaporizer, my point was HE still smokes!!!! read my comment again, and read the one b/f then one to JA!

Lmao self induced ADD I bet. Anything for that Indian herb eh Diaz?

I’m with ya on that one King!!! no way he doesn’t smoke. ADD, yeah i think I have ADD too. I need a card.

I need to move to cali..

First off, I want one of these cards. lol Secondly, this is stupid, he’s clearly one of the best and most exciting to watch, and weed doesn’t make you any better at fighting. Just let him fight, who cares?

This could be legit though, in no way am I going to act like a judge and condemn a guy that has a mental disorder, but I thought medical marijuana was only allowed to ppl that has physical pains. Any doctors in the house care to explain this better for us?

Im not a doctor but have done a lot of research into this subject and you will find many specialist and docotrs who think medical marijuana is a whole lot better then riddlin for ADD for ADHD. Ridlin in fact is only two molocuels away from speed! While marijuana on the other hand is all natural. Medical marijuana tends to have a much lower level of a THC content because its so much made for getting high as it is to get the effects of ADD to calm down. If Gracie says Diaz has ADD so bad he can not sleep, I have to believe him and it sucks that Diaz can not fight because of this. He won that fight over Gomi fair and square it is complete bs that he had the won taken away from him. Im still waiting for an explantion on how marijauna is a performance enhancing drug. Hell they have basically stopped testing snowboarders in the Olypmics for it because well its kinda reduntant.[/quote

u better do some more research u dumb sh*t b/c medical marijuana has a way HIGHER THC content than most bud u can get yourself
