I do agree that it is NOT a peformance enhancer in any way shape or form. It's freaking weed. It isn't roids or something. But whether or not their law is bogus or not he still should of followed the rules.

There's nothing in the rulebook that says smoking weed will result in your fight being turned into a NC.
I mean, coke and roids are fine, but pot isn't. The argument that Nick was high during his fight is ridiculous, which is why his NC was ridiculous. Make Sherk's fight an NC. Roids do permanent changes to your body to affect performance, the argument can be made forever as to how much weed "helped" Diaz. Go ask any MMA fighter if they want to get high before their next fight and see how many say "Yes" because they think it'd help.
None. Except for Drew Fickett.
