Re: Rant: Who cares if Michael Phelps had some pot?
Perhaps I am dead wrong, but the fact that people are using the excuse "Phelps is a role model" as a reason for people to be upset is just...well plain silly.
I mean, fuck yeah, famous people smoke pot! Because pot is harmless in moderation.
What I am trying to say is Phelps should rise to the occasion and be the role model that says the honest truth which is that a little pot never stopped him from reaching his Olympic dreams, winning 14 gold medals, uniting America during the lame ass Olympics, sparking patriotism, and yada yada.
Carl Sagan and Barack Obama have smoked pot. One has his legacy forever etched in stone and the other is the current US President.
Seriously. Pot. In. Moderation. Is. Harmless.
Get that D.A.R.E. all-drugs-are-100%-bad shit out of our public schools. Stop LYING to the kids.
We are a nation that does not put down heavy drinking (there is a sociology OF drinking for effing sake), we don't condone smoking, and EVERYTHING has caffeine in it.
If someone wants to toke up every once in a while, even if they are a famous athlete-role-model: let them.
Also, this was done at a party on his free time. I don't think it is anyone's business.
The saddest thing is that Phelps bent over and apologized. For all we know he was smoking tobacco out of that bong. I'd like to see that picture stand in a court of law.
