Rumour of Diaz failing Drug test

Of course it's BS. We had a snow boarder test positive, and Tyson lost his victory over Golota because of it. Weed being illegal is the most blatant racist law on the books. If you get high, you dont wanna fight at all. I worked as a bouncer through University, and I can tell you, I never broke up a fight between two people high on weed. Booze however...

I woulda thought Condit woulda tested positive if either of them. You really wouldnt wanna engage in anything on weed that's physical.

And I never went anywhere. Theres tons of great posters on here, and lots of people to learn from about mma. Just because people took exception to me not liking a song, and my inability to explain that's all it was, I'm not gonna deprive myself the enjoyment from watching and reading about mma and the UFC. Of course, I'm gonna need a nice jay to do so!

 

racist? lol this word is overused way to much. weed isn't a race brah.

but on topic i think it should just be made legal. as you said earlier Alcohol is the greater of the two evils and has been legal for most of humans existence.

 

Weed was criminalized in the 1920's by Henry Anslinger right after Prohibition. The reason it was banned was a way to control Mexican migrant workers at the border that were bringing it across and Negro jazz musicians. Fact and racist. AMA was against making it illegal.

 

Bull****! Please show me that study because i would be amazed if anything even remotely like that is real, i have tried both drugs and they feel completely different. Oxycodone is powerful and long lasting compared to weed, not to mention potency of weed is extremely variable while oxycodone is oxycodone. Even the strongest weed i ever smoked was not much of a pain killer whereas oxycodone will make you forget you have a broken leg if you take a high enough dose

 

Study showing the two combined are better, not just thc alone...

This article suggests thc will reduce the need for opiates

And one last article...

http://www.everydayhealth.com/pain-management/medical-marijuana-for-chronic-pain.aspx

In a few of the pages, the actual studies were listed, but Im simply too baked to do that much work right now.

 

yeah because your smoking the stuff that gets you high, if you want cannabis as a pain killer you need to let the plant grow 2 to 3 weeks longer than you normally would for making weed that gets you high, leaving it grow longer reduces the THC but increases the level of other chemicals which relieve pain, fight disease, have anti inflammatory components, medical marijuana is different to your marijuana in many ways, as its an illegal drug and it has benefits to your training it has to be on the banned list

 

Evidence? I've never heard of this and i have smoked california medical marijuana and street weed. They are different highs, but generally medical grade has higher thc levels :deal

 

Those articles all mention marijuana use for chronic pain, which is real and a fact. But nothing there says marijuana is equally powerful/equivalent to oxycodone. thats all im saying, oxycodone is compared to heroin it is so strong, pure narcotic body numbing ****.

 

its true mate believe me, im not a big smoker but my mate grows the stuff for the last 12 years he knows his stuff, i might be forgetting my chemicals but im sure the THC starts degrading and the other major chemical CBD (????) increases after the proposed time set for normal herb

 

heres your evidence, as i said medical weed has less THC and more CBN and CBD

It is interesting that the time of harvest controls the "high" of the buds. If harvested "early" with only a few of the pistils turned color, the buds will have a more pure THC content and will have less THC that has turned to CBD and CBN. The lessor psychoactive substances will create the bouquet of the pot, and control the amount of stoneyness and stupidness associated with the high. A pure THC content is very cerebral, while high THC, high CBD, CBN content will make the plants more of a stupid, or hazy buzz. Buds taken later, when fully ripened will normally have these higher CBN, CBD levels and may not be what you prefer once you try different samples picked at different times. Don not listen to the experts, decide yourself based on what you come to like yourself

 

When my friends grow it, if they let it grow say 6-8 weeks, it's more of a high high sorta high, the kind where you laugh at everything. If they let it grow 12 weeks or so, it's what I like to refer to as couch lock weed, whereas you get locked to your couch. Numbing, painless sorta high. It has to do with resin production I believe, but I'm not sure right now. I know the trics turn a nice mellow yellow golden/brown colour however, and if i stub my toe on that stuff, it won't hurt.

 

here is some more, article is long so i took out the relevant part

http://www.cannabisculture.com/v2/articles/4822.html

If you choose to harvest later in the window, your buds produce more of a body high, which is conversely more pronounced in Indicas than in Sativas. A body high is similar to a narcotic ?down? effect, usually associated with being ?stoned?. A down type of high is often desired in the late evening to calm nerves and drift into sleep. A late-harvest yield is often sought by medicinal cannabis users to ease pain and increase appetite. If you choose to harvest somewhere in the middle of the peak window of maturity, you don?t necessarily get the best of both worlds, but more of a happy medium. If you aren?t sure what type of high you like or want, aim for the middle and you likely won?t be disappointed.

 

...None of this will be relevant to how he fought, you know? I mean I know you guys are just saying the effects of weed but that's really if someone would be under the effects whilst fighting which would be crazy. Diaz didn't pack a bong and smoke it five minutes before he fought, only a ****ing moron would smoke the day of the fight so he clearly just hadn't got it out of his system by then if this is true.

If its a year suspension that's crazy, and its obvious Diaz's heart isn't in the fight game if so.

 

Oh but it was. There was so much pressure on other countries to ban it. All the research is out there. But just ask yourself a question, if there has not been ONE SINGLE case of marijuana causing a fatality...EVER, why else is it illegal in many parts of the world? The have found the fatal dose to be 1,500 lbs...ONE THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS to be smoked in 15 minutes. Youd probably most likely die of asphyxiation way before the marijuana got ya. But if no one has ever died from it, yet 4000 people die every year from aspirin, why is it illegal?

Actually, marijuana is pretty much illegal today due mainly to medical economics. You cannat patent an herb. But the initial reason for banning it was racially motivated. My grandfather in Africa actually grew cannabis plants tp hide his tobacco plants, which were illegal. It wasn't until Anslinger that marijuana became illegal anywhere and everywhere. He single handedly influenced the global view on the PLANT.

it is just an accepted fact that marijuana laws were 100% racially motivated. Theres tons of documentation out there if you care to research it. Or, some chose to do what people have always done...go off word of mouth from past generations and believe propoganda. That's fine, but I know the Earth is round, and if you care to stay in the dark ages and not challenge conventional 'wisdom 'read bad science and media glorification), thats your prerogative.
