Greenup -
ghostmaster - I was saying something similar earlier a year is far too long for puffing weed. I can understand the safety angle the commission take where someone shouldn't be stoned with fighting an can agree with that. But is that what happened here? Surely u can't actually fight stoned?? They should disregard the fact that someone is stoned in a general sense and restrict it to a few hours or so before and during the actual fight. I'm still confused how long before the fight do u think he was getting high.
Could have been weeks but I think he said 10 days he would be clean for tests. Diaz said this in 2009 I believe so he either didn't quit in time or it was jusy a trace amount.

That's what I mean I knew he said that so I was wandering if he had gone back on this and hadn't quit 10 days before or of he did and it just didn't clear from his system for some reason. My thought is still the same only time a fighter shouldnt smoke or a ban is justifiable is the day of the fight. To ban someone for a year and cost the at least 100's of k for having a smoke over a week before a fight is bullshit. Phone Post

Pursuant to your doctor's prescription, consume one joint prior to playing video games, sexual activities or engaging in interim title fights versus Carlos Condit.

Maldini2706 - Both are used to treat legitimate medical conditions so how come taking steroids which are 100% PEDs is allowed with a script but weed (whose PED status there is much debate about) is not allowed. Seems like a pretty warped system.

Simple answer, Marijuana is still a federally banned substance. TRT is not.

/thread.
so does NSAC test for every federally banned substance?

good question

Weed isn't banned as a PED. As Kizer said its to stop people entering the ring high and with slower reflexes etc. it's the same reason why alcohol is banned.

TRT is allowed when fighters test levels are naturally low and they are raised to NORMAL levels. Nobody is being put at risk.

TRT isn't bringing in an outside, mind altering substance. TRT is allowing your body to have normal levels of a substance already occurring in the body.

If they could test for weed to know if they have taken it that day it would be a lot better. But they would still have to test, even if it is legalized. Phone Post

Well that's bullshit, they test for its presence in the last 30 days. Why would smoking weed a week before the fight be a bad thing?

Captfireeyes - My guess, TRT prescriptions can be filled out in every state. Weed is only prescribed in a few, and is illegal in Nevada, where they tested Diaz.

Just cause a substance is prescribed legally somewhere, doesn't mean it's legal everywhere. Just my guess though.

And I've been smoking dope practically everyday for 5 years. It's nowhere close to being a PED, and shouldn't even be tested for.

Medical Marijuana is legal in Nevada. Perhaps the ACs are attempting to follow federal law, though.

Legal in 16 states and growing every year. Partially decriminalized in others like NY, where it's just a ticket.

The federal law on marijuana prohibition is 100% unconstitutional.

In accordance with the Compassionate Use Act (CUA), which was passed in 1996, it is legal to use marijuana for medical purposes in the state of California. Since marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug by the federal government, it cannot legally prescribed by a physician nor dispensed by a pharmacy.
