Diaz has failed 2 drug tests throughout his fight career for marijuana, and has been an advocate for marijuana usage. Diaz was handed a 5 year suspension from the NSAC after he failed a drug test following his UFC 183 main event scrap with Anderson Silva. Diaz and the NSAC went into settlement talks after the 5 year suspension caused an uproar, and the suspension was ultimately reduced to 18 months retroactively.
