Nick Diaz: “my fight career is getting in the way of my marijuana smoking”
LOL. How can anybody not like Nick Diaz? In an interview with TheSweetScience.com, Nick Diaz was asked about his Marijuana usage and his 2006 fight against Takanori Gomi. Nick Diaz won the fight, but was stripped of the victory after a post-fight piss test indicated he had elevated amounts of THC in his system.
In the interview, Diaz is quoted as saying “I feel it was done out of ignorance. The win was taken away from me because I smoke weed and that’s stupid,” said the 24-year old Diaz. “I’m a fighter and a martial artist. I feel martial artists and all artists in general could benefit from smoking weed and we should be able to smoke it all we want.”
Nick Diaz went on to say: “People say that marijuana is going to hurt my career. I say to them that on the contrary, my fight career is getting in the way of my marijuana smoking.”
Nick Diaz will fight KJ Noons for the EliteXC lightweight title this Saturday on Showtime from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. Also on the fight card is internet sensation Kimbo Slice.
