So Cool! UFC Fighter Nate Diaz Vapes at a Press Conference (Photos)
Yesterday, after the UFC announced the result of UFC 202, Nate Diaz attended the post-fight media conference. While answering reporters’ questions, Diaz openly took a puff from his vaping device.
A moment later, a reporter asked Diaz, “What exactly were you vaping just now?”
“CBD. It helps speed up recovery and heal inflammation, so you’ll want to use it before and after a fight or training,” Diaz replied.
CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is one of more than 60 compounds found in cannabis. Among these compounds, CBD and THC usually attract the most attention. Unlike THC, CBD does not cause hallucinations, but it appears to offer significant health benefits for athletes.
The likelihood of being judged as using any banned substance simply because of vaping is very low. Diaz is unlikely to get into trouble for using CBD after the fight.
