Matt Riddle Explains Why Marijuana Is NOT A Performance Enhancing Drug

He stopped 3 weeks out and still couldn’t pass a test?? He must have had a lot in his system. I know lots of people that can pass after a week if they work out and sweat a lot.

Dana didn’t kick him out because he failed the test,he kicked him out because he said he smokes weed to not beat his children up.Then after he got kicked he got asked what will happen in the future and he said he would win a couple of fights,get called back in the UFC and he WOULD PROBABLY NOT ACCEPT…You know Paul Daley is still out of the UFC because Dana asked him if wanted to stay in the UFC after the Kos punch,he said no.So he won’t be back in the UFC.He’s a fun fighter but he’s also a dumb douche.

I’d be curious to know what ailment he has a prescription for. Does he have some kind of chronic condition which requires continuous medication or does he just like being high all the time?

listen carefully to what this fighter has to say. marijuana does not have to do with the quantity you absorb, everything depends on the user’s system since we are all kind of different genetic wise…

There is no reason he shouldnt be able to use. Guys use trt. why? because they need to perform at normal or elevated levels. thats cheating! And he didn’t they didn’t kick him out for saying he uses so he wont beat his kids. They kicked him out because he was talking about the little minion joe wish i was a little bit taller silva. and he failed another test. But Dana wants to justify his reasoning so he used the beat his kids as an excuse. This is the same UFC company that fired miguel torres for a twitter joke, they fired john fitch who is still a top 10 fighter, just they try to spin it in a way that makes them look good. But im sure in every case there was a different motive behind all the bs Dana spews out oh his fat head.

“Taking a bong rip ringside”..haha..I don’t know why but I like this kid and feel he legitimately needs weed. Or I’m sure the government and health care industry would love to hook him up with ridelin or some manufactured crap like that.

did anybody else notice how he clearly listed specific performance enhancing effects that marijuana has on him personally and then immediately followed it by saying ‘it absolutely is NOT performance enhancing’??? lmfao, this guy is too funny.

creatine is also most naturally found in red meats…………… idiots

It’s appaling how thing get taken out of context. Marijuana is not performance enhancing, just as paracetamol isn’t despite the fact that it’s a pain killer, much stronger than marijuana if you’d call it painkiller at all. THC is something all those idiots talking about do not understand, and there are differences in it’s effects on different individuals. But to say it’s performance enhancing and put it in the same basked with testosterone is one of the dumbest and unintelligent things ever done in this sport

Riddle is fukin cool. So what he like to smoke, he’s still an athelete.

You heard him, he isn’t trying to get high before walking in the ring, so who cares?

beating your children is a enhancing drug?

W************* – cannabis is a DEPRESSANT as in it acts to DEPRESS the CNS via cannabinoid receptors in the brain.

So your stimulant = pain relief statement actually = FAIL.

Corporate Tard Ville ‘Merica is so ass backwards when it comes to drugs like cannabis and all the little lemmings follow Uncle Sam in their opinions……yet individuals in individual states on to it enough have seen through the B.S. and managed to have it decriminalised for various purposes.

Hows your 10 years later, S100 billion “War on Durpa durpa Durrrugs” going?

Oh that’s right FAIL.

@yomomomoto

Cannabis is neither stimulant nor depressant by typical use of the terms, it has both effects. Make a quick google search next time or try smoking it and you won’t come off so ignorant next time.

Here’s one that will really shock you guys…Steroids can hurt your performance!

Did you hear that? Some PEDs will actually make you worse, depending on what you need to achieve or what sport. And yet, we call them performance enhancing, like cannabis.

Get it yet?

@big bad jim @W*************!
I smoke weed and I can tell you it’s not a pain killer.If it is,it’s the mildest pain killer ever.1 Ibuprofen would work better…What is proven though is it helps sick people get appetite,cannabis oil directly on skin cancer kills cancer and recently a study showed it slows down multiple type of cancer and could kill or stop tumor growth.

The pain thing is a way for normal people who want to get weed legally PERIOD.Normal people go there and say:”I hurt my back a while ago and I have chronic back pain since.”They don’t check your back and give you a prescription.

@KungFuLowKick

LOL! You must smoke some weak s*** dude! I’ve grown s*** that would put you out son! Anyway’s……I would not use before training for any sport. Plus, why put chems in you body like Ibuprofen?
