Everyone knows that 1 marijuana stops an individual from feeling any sensation of pain.It was treated as a PED back then and it was his third offense.

Why are you selectively choosing "Facts" to fit a false narrative?Nick Diaz said that 'the UFC and Dana is selling everyone wolf tickets' in the pre-fight press conference vs GSP.
After this fight, Nick Diaz tested positive for Marijuana and received a 5 year ban and 165k fine.
Other fighters who test positive for PED's don't receive such harsh bans. Only 1-3 years. Many get a 1 year ban for PEDs. Marijuana is not a PED. On appeal Nick's ban changed to 18 months. Nick could not afford to pay the fine affecting his UFC career.
Do you think there is a discrepancy? Do you think it's impossible for money to be the top priority (and making an example of Nick Diaz for saying wolf tickets), to mean Nick Diaz's ban was the harshest of all?
Care to elaborate?Man it’s wild how my perspective on Nick has changed in the last ten years
Nick was my favourite fighter hands down even after the Condit fight. I was still enamoured by him going into the Silva fight but, after watching him party and waste his prime for years; I just kind of felt sorry for him how he decided to end his career. It’s crazy to me how far Nate has surpassed Nick. In the early days I would’ve never guessed. I still remember Nick in his prime during Strikeforce, those were great fights. To conclude I guess I became disillusioned regarding Nick, and now my opinion of him is a lot more cogent/realistic.Care to elaborate?
Nick is a classic example of someone who was great at his chosen career (fighting) but incompetent at his chosen career (the fight business). Nick hasn't seemingly had anyone he could trust to guide his career and finances and yet he seems the type who wouldn't trust the "Right Person" and would align himself with the absolute wrong people.Nick was my favourite fighter hands down even after the Condit fight.
