(STOCKTON,CALIFORNIA)
POPULATION: 300K VIOLENT CRIME RATE:1,400

It's one of the MOST DANGEROUS places in the US. Imagine growing up there as a kid, either you're a bully or you get bullied. A tough environment for everyone, not just young and teenaged kids. But for the most of them, it's hard to get out of Stockton.

Especially if they don't care about school in the first place.(KIDS STAY IN SCHOOL)


Following regional losses to the economy due to the 2008 financial crisis, in July 2012, Stockton became the largest city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy protection. It was surpassed by Detroit in July 2013. The city approved a plan to exit bankruptcy in October 2013.

From that part, you can see why people are stealing, dealing, killing and dying there.


NICK DIAZ was born August 2, 1983. He began training in karate and aikido at a young age and participated in wrestling tournaments during his teenage years. He attended high school for a year, before dropping out.

GRACIE JUI-JITSU SAVED HIS LIFE

When he watched Royce Gracie win the first ever UFC championship, and another few after. He'd immediately see the benefit and the efficiency of Brazilian Jui-Jitsu. A smaller man could dominate and control a bigger man, and do anything with him at this point.

He began training Jui-Jitsu when he was around 16, and he also recruited his younger brother, Nate, to keep him off the streets and stay in shape. They trained in Cesar Gracies Gym, and he became a father figure to them. Soon after bought of them started competing in MMA. Nick had the first taste of money, and also a talent to win fights. He decided to dedicate his life to Martial Arts! Isn't that inspiring?

He was always told he's not good enough, he was always told his not gonna make it. And you're not one of this rich kids, and when he fights I think he brings a lot of that back. And unfortunately for his opponents, that's where that energy goes. Nick Diaz doesn't do MMA to be popular, he doesn't do MMA to get a pad on the back and fight to get people's approval. He does it to survive! Cuz he knows this his one shot! And he came a long way with that mentality.


LOOK AT HIM NOW

WEED IS NOT BAD PEOPLE ! ! !

In this post I also wanted to share my view on Cannabis, and why I think a lot off people have the wrong idea about it!

Nick and Nate smoke weed all the time, and their whole life's, despite being professional athletes. They also compete in triathlons all over the world.

I WANNA SEE PEOPLE STOP THINKING THAT WEED MAKES YOU LAZY AND STUPID! It will if that's in your nature from the start :)

We all have a good time seeing a cool pothead movie but don't forget, REAL LIFE IS REAL LIFE. Weed connects people like Steemit connects us and there is a bigger number of us every day! Not to mention the medical help that it offers!:)

IF YOU'RE A SMOKER OR SHARE THE SAME VIEWS AS ME, PLEASE RESTEEM THIS, MORE PEOPLE WILL BE EDUCATED! ! !

My Steemit family stay positive!

Marijuana is an Exit Drug.jpg

I do like a bit of MMA!

TV and mainstream news make people lazy and stupid. It's not the pot.

I met Nick in Vegas a few times, he's really a nice guy 😂
