<blockquote>
The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) is likely to hear the case of Nick Diaz sometime in April, according to NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer.
For now, Diaz is temporarily suspended.
Among the possible punishments Diaz faces, Kizer said the commission could levy fines, suspend him, as well as revoke or place conditions on the license.
"In the past, the norm for a positive test for marijuana is six months, but we have had two repeat offenders and they both got a 12-month suspension," he said. "But that doesn't necessarily mean that's what will happen here."
5. It was once associated with oppressed ethnic groups. The intense anti-marijuana movement of the 1930s dovetailed nicely with the intense anti-Chicano movement of the 1930s. Marijuana was associated with Mexican Americans, and a ban on marijuana was seen as a way of discouraging Mexican-American subcultures from developing.
Today, thanks in large part to the very public popularity of marijuana among whites during the 1960s and 1970s, marijuana is no longer seen as what one might call an ethnic drug--but the groundwork for the anti-marijuana movement was laid down at a time when marijuana was seen as an encroachment on the U.S. majority-white culture.
Thanks for OPPRESSING Nick Diaz, Kommissioner Keith Kizer!
The rules say you can't have it. I don't give a fuck what it does, if it is in the rules and you break those rules. You are a mental midget of the highest order.
This is fucking insanity. Can Cesar Gracie not control his own fighter? Is Nick Diaz really this much of a fucking adolescent toolbag?? Is this all really happening or am I having a fucking dream right now? Because I wanna wake up and know that none of this is real. This is just too retarded to be real.

Just say derp next time, save you some typing. Agreeing or disagreeing with marijuana legality is irrelevant. Nick knows the rules, and he's too stupid and too messed up to be able to avoid getting high for a week.
He's unprofessional. Period.
Bullshit! This is all a conspiracy. Kizer just wants to watch him pee out his weiner!

There are very few things in my life I love more than pot, that being said I would never put my career in jeopardy Nick Diaz has his whole life to smoke weed but a very small window to compete as a high level fighter it’s sad to see such talent wasted.
MickColins - So, a Doctor's note makes TRT okay but a perscription for Pot isn't okay?
this.
Not this.
No matter how much you need weed if you are high you are not going to get your fight sanctioned because it is unsafe to fight high.
If your testosterone levels are raised to normal levels that doesn't not make the fight unsafe for the competitors. You have two fighters facing off with normal functioning abilities. Not one guy in a normal state of mind and the other high.
