You'd have to be insane to not lay off weed for an 8-10 week fucking camp.

'cause if there's one thing Nate Diaz has never been accused of it's being right in the head.

Friend marks an X next to "headaches" and hands the clipboard back.

While still on the phone the doctor covers the receiver with his hand and says, "Tried other things?" Friend nods. "Still headaches?" He nods again. Then the doctor hands him another form—the specifics of getting a card, and after about an hour he walks out with one. He has to come back the next day to get his "medicine" though.

I'm all for legalization, and I'm sure that there are many cancer patients who legitimately use pot as an appetite stimulant, for example, but medical marijuana is just a wedge—it ain't real medicine.

At least, I know that I can't get any of my prescriptions

a. delivered to my house
b. at 10:30 at night
c. in the form of a blueberry cheesecake slice, and
d. the delivery boy offers to split it with me.

I've always dreamed of visiting amsterdam. Now I realise how childish I've been. **** it I'm movin' to California.

Reckon there'd be quite a few doing something similar with actual performance enhancers though, maybe the odd hypogonadism sufferer cough cough chael sonnen cough...

You know one of the main causes in men is steroid abuse?

Steroid use can reduce testicular function and shrink male genitals - explains why Sonnen is a complete ****

I'm here all week, try the veal

I like this point, might have to use it.

Hahaha, now that's rich...

Nevada Commission Says Nick Diaz Could Have Applied For Exemption To Use Marijuana

According to Kizer, though, Diaz had another option: coming to the NSAC weeks before fighting and applying for a therapeutic exemption (TUE) for his marijuana use.

Given that Diaz’ coach and manager, Cesar Gracie, has made a point of saying that Diaz has a legal right to use marijuana in California since a doctor prescribed it to him, one would have expected Diaz to have applied for the exemption with the commission.

But that did not happen Kizer explains, as no one from Diaz’ camp has ever attempted to explain any mitigating circumstances to him about the fighter’s marijuana use or tried to contextualize it to attempt for Nick to granted a therapeutic exemption. “I have no idea what [Diaz’s] marijuana situation is,” Kizer told CagePotato on Thursday. “No one from his camp has ever come to me or the commission and tried to explain it.”

Kizer says that therapeutic exemptions are made when fighters and their doctors can convince the NSAC and its physicians that a prescribed treatment is specifically needed to address a legitimate health issue of the athlete and that the medication does not put the fighter at undue risk as a competitor or give them an unfair advantage over their opponents.
