		<description>FIRST....Cannabis does NOT make you numb your a idiot
SECOND...Cannabis does NOT kill your brain cells it thickens them moron (which actully preserves them and lengthens their life span)
THIRD....Cannabis is NOT a drug read a dictionary you ignorant f*ck its a plant that grows naturally free of any alteration(before 1938 it was used in a wide varity of medicines and worked very well)
FOURTH...I highly doubt he was high during the fight you can test dirty for over a month after consumeing the plant Hes a mma fighter hes Not going to slow his reaction time during a fight down think what your saying before you open your mouth.
FIFTH....Losers use Cannabis Ummm think what your saying about 1/3 of professional atheletes and citizens in the U.S. use it at least a few times a year (Carl Sagan J.F.K.'s space program advisor smoked everyday and he was smarter than anyone on the page and accomplished more in his life then any of you myself included in this statement)
SIXTH....GET A EDUCATION ABOUT WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT BEFORE YOU SPEAK THEN MAYBE YOU WONT SOUND AS STUPID ON SECOND THOUGHT JUST DONT SPEAK NOTHING CAN CURE HOW STUPID YOU PEOPLE SOUND</description>

		<description>Alright so Tim(no alot about pot) thank you , you shortened up this speech alot but I would still like to say that whoever thinks smoking a spliff makes you num enough to resist pain YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARD ... I train and fight and I smoke alot of weed and party my ass off all day, its the canadian way but let me tell you every shot I take in the face whether im high or not hurts. And for all you americans who preach the constitution and think weed is as bad a drug as crack then you need to take a 2 week trip to canada and just smoke and drink your worries away cuz it aint no big deal around here, i know fuckin cops that smoke mroe dope then me lol believe it weed is basically legal north of your border. So im just gonna keep smokin and keep training and fighting and givin diaz his props cuz he through down the most serious gogoplata in the books and if he was high when he did that then damn he shouldn't be suspended but instead rewarded. Congrats on the win Nick Big Ups to GSP for takin the title back #1 in the world. TUF 4 Life</description>

		<description>How can the NSAC state that he was under the influence of marijuana durring the fight?  The test he was subjected to only tells if he had smoked weed some time in the last month!  You cannot claim that the drug had any impact at all on this fight because you just don't know if he smoked a blut just before the fight, or if he smoked one 3 weeks prior!  This is B.S.!</description>

		<description>The real issue for Diaz fans is this:
Diego Sanchez tested positive for marijuana and no one said a thing about it for three months.  When it was finally made public knowledge the punishment was a THREE MONTH SUSPENSION and a $500 FINE.  That's it!  He beat Joe Riggs at Fight Night 7 and he still holds the win.  His record still states that he has one loss and that loss is from Koscheck.

Why is there such a huge difference in the punishments between Sanchez and Diego?

Sanchez: Three month suspension, $500 fine, kept his win
Diaz:  six month suspension, $3000 fine, win ruled no contest

This is complete bullshit!  

I'm not a Diaz fan that thinks he shouldn't be punished.  Of course he should-it's against the rules so punish him, but be fair about it. If you're going to take away his win take Diego's as well.

And what about all the fighters testing positive for steroids? Sean Sherk and Hermes Franca BOTH tested positive for roids after their fight.  They WERE suspended for quite a while, but the fines were $2500---$500 less than Diaz was fined!! Plus, yep you guessed it, Sherk still holds the win against Franca AND still holds the belt.

I want to know why the fuck these organizations are getting away with such a harsh penalyy against Diaz compared to others-espcially others who have done far worse.

All MMA fighters should be tested and treated exactly the same no matter what organization they fight in or where the fights take place.</description>
