"If I’m going to train all day, when I get done, I’m gonna want to smoke," Nick Diaz talks about his use of marijuana in an in-depth interview with High Times.
Last year at UFC 183 marked the third time Nick Diaz had tested positive for marijuana metabolites. This time, however, there was so much controversy surrounding the issue that even a petition was filed to the White House to reduce his suspension.
Diaz had passed two WADA-accredited drug tests but failed one carried out by Quest Diagnostics. The former Strikeforce welterweight champion presented a sound defense to the Nevada Athletic Commission but was suspended for five years and received a $165,000 fine.
