Absolutely Insane. 

I actually had this whole hearing on Fight Pass while I worked in the FightCenter today. Diaz's legal team brought the heat and NAC responded with pitifully bruised egos. 

This one's certainly going to court, and we'll see what happens; hopefully we get a repeat of Brady v. NFL.

********. 5 years for third offense is totally reasonable. This isn't PEDs vs. Cocaine vs. weed. This is Nick Diaz breaking a rule he knows about for the third time and getting caught. Doing it 3 times and getting caught doesn't mean you're stupid, it means you don't give a ****, so if he doesn't give a ****, why does everyone else?? Maybe he did it so that if he's suspended people would stop ******* asking him when he's coming out of retirement every time he shows his face. Have you thought about that?

The fact that weed is still on the banned substances list is totally stupid, I agree with that 100% and if people are going on any crusades it should be against that not against Nick's punishment.

As long as weed is still banned in the sport, no matter how ******* stupid that is, you need to punished if you break the rules and your punishment increases every time you do so. It's not rocket science. Diaz is a smart dude and knows this and, as I said, doesn't give two ****s. As far as he's concerned, 5 yeas, 15 years, ban his future children for all he cares. So if he doesn't give any ****s, how come the whole MMA world is "fighting his fight".

The MMA media and fighters should stop kissing Nick Diaz' ass and fight the real fight. Remove weed from banned substances list. I don't think there will be a problem proving it's not a PED. They could have anyone on the voting committee who's planning to vote against, get stoned and try and fight someone's grandma. He'd quickly see for himself when he's in a granny-choke just how performance enhancing it is.

Maybe Nick Diaz can try boxing and get that Mayweather money he always talks about.

@yoss, there's debate as to whether he even failed.  For whatever reason he was tested 3 times that night, he passed 2 tests from WADA accredited facilities, the one he failed wasn't. The punishment doesn't fit the crime at all (assuming there even is a crime), especially when compared to repeat PED users getting half that length. It's really seeming like the commission has some vendetta against him and I can't see this not being overturned if he takes it to court.

The punishment is definitely incredibly harsh and bizarre comparatively to previous punishments for various offences but the '5 years for smoking weed ***?' brigade are wilfully ignoring the aggravating circumstances the NSAC brought up. Namely two previous failed tests, no showing a test in California and the Strikeforce brawl. Not to mention the recent WSOF 22 kerfuffle. The punishment is not fair, will almost certainly be over turned but it doesn't matter how often people kick off about getting 5 years for smoking weed it still won't be what has actually happened.

Best Diaz quote ever....

"For the record, right now, I think someone needed to come out and say it: I think smoking pot is good for mixed martial artists. It's a new day and age, this is, uh, the year...f*** year is it? I don't know, because I've been training and smoking pot like I should, instead of paying attention to other bulls***, which I don't do."

the stereotypes about Ire-land aka alcohol island are true

I've seen a huge amount of negative things and situations injuries loss of life, loss of potential, faculties all fueled by mainly alcohol (gateway substance at least over here) honestly alcoholIis the worst thing to happen to this island and millions who have come and gone and are here , I've seen so much negativity fuelled by alcohol and other stuff, i stopped drinking at 16, im 23 now, best decision i made as a teen... . Now how much crap have I seen when fulled by marijuana?  Pretty much  minimal or nothing .. everyone is peaceful and in tune....This whole situation represents  what's wrong with our 'Modern Utopia' in the bigger picture .. .. its on... take the red pill. ..

Josey Wales are you insane in the membrane? I know any hallucinogenic/complicated substance,

Weed, alcohol , mushys, steroids, caffeine, sugar,  can cause problems , I personally know people who started smoking too young and it gave them schizophrenia,  but cm on. ... replace every bar in Ireland and Wales with medicinal hemp dispensiries and you will see a new cultural renaissance, an awakening of epic proportions, people becoming wiser, more conscious, more peaceful and healthy?  I've seen it all with my own eyes. ...The good the bad and tthe very ugly, ufc fighters should be banned for drinking vodka if anything .... forget marijuana

This is a good thing if you look at it a particular way. Injustices like this show the inexorable flaws of the current systems and regulations that the NSAC operates under. It also takes injustices like this which will probably go to a higher court to bring attention and ultimately change to the order of things. 

Regardless of Diaz disregarding the rules, what matters most are the rules he broke and whether the basis of those rules are legitimate. Generally speaking, people seem to be at massive odds against prohibiting the use of marijuana.
