Don't really give a shit if he smokes weed.

Further evidence weed should be legalized. If you smoke weed, you end up being fucking awesome like Michael Phelps.

He could make a nice case for medical. Dude needed some green to ease his ADD

I thought this was going to be about steroids honestly...Now that I know he smokes weed it makes him even more awesome in my book...In addition to the fact that he's a Baltimore Ravens fan....+100,000,000 points!

Well he did live in Ann Arbor for 4 years, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I don't really see why weed would be one of the banning related drugs on the list to olympic athletes either way.

rcrook
01/31/09, 11:03 PM
it's an illegal drug, it should be banned. weed and blow don't help a players performance but it's illegal.

So true. I think that day is gonna come soon at this rate. Probably not, but there's hope.

There is also a fine line between weed and blow though....

Depends on what you think soon is, not next week, or next month. I give it within the next 4 or 5 years for some big changes to start going down with marijuana between decriminalizing and legalizing it.

Yeah it was mostly a joke. I think it's gonna happen in our lifetime though.

But (some) people who voted for Obama certainly think so. One dude I talked to said he voted for him cause he heard from someone Obama was gonna legalize weed. It's hilarious how dumb people are.

people also seriously think obama is gonna pay their mortgages and shit so that doesnt surprise me haha

I voted for Obama btw. But yeah I don't get how people think these things. Such stereotypical thinking and ignorance. Whatever.

Weed is considered in the worst category of drugs by the government...it was placed there along with Cocaine and other similar drugs just so it could not be easily legalized...basically, its gonna be at least 15 years until it has any shot to be legalized

we are cured
02/01/09, 11:30 AM
even as a former user (abuser) i don't think it should be legalized. but the fact that it's in the same classification as drugs like heroin and coke is absurd.

He issued an apology statement right here (http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/swimming/news/story?id=3876804&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines).

If you win 8 medals, in my book, you can do whatever you want.

But I wanna party with him, because unless the article sensationalized his drinking ability, he seems like a tank.

ForlrnPerplxity
02/01/09, 01:17 PM
haha I think these apology statements are so dumb. This obviously wasn't his first time using and probably won't be his last....at least it wouldn't have been if he hadn't have been caught.

Sweet avatar.

I'd also bet on him smoking again. Just being careful about it.

I absolutely adore Kristen. And yeah I think next time he'll just make sure he's around people who arent going to take pictures and shop them around because Im more then sure whoever sold that one got a nice amount of money.

Apology statement are you fucking kidding me? lol...But I guess he is suppose to be a role model so its understandable.

This is so ridiculously blown out of proportion. Just another example of how the media does not allow anyone to have a private life, all of a sudden this is going to overshadow his success as an athlete...it's just stupid.

Should be the slogan for legalizing weed from now on.

I think we should legalize marijuana in this country, so potheads have nothing to talk about ever again. You are so annoying, nobody ever sees me taking this angle, but I do.. with force. Grow up and do coke like an adult!-Daniel Tosh quote classic, this mans freaking hilarious.

we forgot about his dui, we will forget about this. if he can smoke weed and be the best us olympian ever, more power to you.

that sucks if he gets banned. i heard he was only going to do the olimpics this year and then stop with competitions.

the man won a ton of medals and is a role model, he's the poster boy of the olympic team. getting caught smoking weed really sucks then. he either shouldn't have smoked or shouldn't have gotten caught, but i think he should've known better, even if it was just weed.

Its not that big of a deal.
He's 23 years old and he smoked some weed. The world isn't going to end.
I know he is role model to kids and stuff, but people make mistakes sometimes.
