Was wondering how long it'd take for you to get here.

Dude is almost as bad as Jon is at self-sabotage. So stinking sad.
The UFC organization was notified today that the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) informed Kelvin Gastelum of a potential Anti-Doping Policy violation involving Carboxy-Tetrahydrocannabinol (“Carboxy-THC”) which is a metabolite of marijuana and/or hashish, above the decision limit of 180 ng/mL, stemming from an in-competition sample collected in conjunction with his recent bout in Fortaleza, Brazil on March 11, 2017.
UFC Statement on Kelvin Gastelum
I'm right on that shit man. Fuck USADA.
As long as it's weed, right?
I was gonna beat the GOAT, but then I got high
Get a Performance bonus and buy a boat, but then I got high
Now I'm eating Cheetos, and I know why
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high
La da da da da daaa
That kind of reply implies that every rule is valid, that rules are never eclipsed by societal progress and that the testing process is straightforward and fair, which we all know is not the case. Simply going full-on authoritarian and saying "rules are rules" means you have no role in the conversation. You've removed yourself from it with such a stance. Personally, I abhor the close-mindedness of that position.
I get your point and yet I disagree.
You can believe that "rules are rules" AND that the rule is dumb and needs to be replaced or removed. But the rule is still valid in that it's enforceable until the time that it is replaced or removed from the situation. I'm of the mindset that marijuana should be legal in a general sense and removed from the banned substance lists in a sporting sense. I also feel that until that happens if you're caught using in excess of any defined limits then you're justifiably subject to any penalties that follow because the "rules are rules."
Further, I abhor the close-mindedness of your assumption as to what
@Juanandonly was implying. 
What's sad is, Kelvin's not even close to Jones. That's how bad Jones is lol.
Not another fucking interim belt
I think it makes sense
Only a dope head would be too much of a dope to realize this is what happens when you get caught. Lettuce not forget that Nick Diaz blazed the way for stupidly getting busted and losing years off of his prime. The sentence might be hash, but that's the high price you pay.
Belts mean nothing
