Nick Diaz Says Nate Was Vaping Chronic at Post-UFC 202 Presser

December 6, 2016 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Nate Diaz was not vaping cannabidiol oil at his post-fight press conference from UFC 202, according to his brother. Nick Diaz appeared on the Jasta Show and said that the vape pen Nate was puffing on was the real thing.

“That wasn’t CBD. He was smoking the chronic. That was some kush,” Nick said. Diaz got a warning from the USADA for using the vape pen, as using cannabis is prohibited in-competition with a therapeutic use exemption. Nate had said that the pen was cannabidiol (CBD) oil, the non-psychoactive component of cannabis used for medical purposes.

Nick added of cannabis, “I do think it’s a performance enhancing drug, but I mean like, so are vitamins. People get really misconstrued on that whole thing.”
