When you have lobbyists, everything will become legal. Take a look at the numbers, there have been more deaths related to DUI from beer than MJ, probably by a hundred fold.

There are more alcohol related deaths per year then there have been MJ related deaths total

Well that and it carries the stigma of being "bad" so no major players want to push it.

I just saw that. I'm really surprised he admitted to it.

It would have been "insane in the membrane" to deny it anyway.

Not true, It would have been smart for him to lie. Look at how well it's turned out for Clemens and Bonds? Duh.

It has nothing to do with that. It's illegal. And it's against IOC rules. It should be legal, but its not. So you have to play by the rules.

As government governs only by the consent of the governed, bad laws cannot be changed and injustice cannot be righted if the people consent to "playing by the rules" even as they know certain rules are wrong.

False.

No offense, but I think it takes a bit more than just saying "false" to prove Thoreau wrong. Particularly when the linked essay there has been credited with freeing whole nations and peoples.

So not being able to smoke pot is an injustice? Don't get me wrong, marijuana, prostitution, and gambling should all be legal. But there's no injustice if they're not.

There is injustice when one is prosecuted for doing something that should be legal.

Phelps wont get prosecuted for doing marijuana. He's got too much going for him now, people will overlook it due to his celebrity status. There have been too many athletes who have openly admitted to using drugs and never seen a charge brought against them.

His problem is that it is against IOC (International Olympic Committee) rules to be using marijuana. Other countries around the world arent putting him on the same pedestal we are. They'd love nothing more to see him and the US knocked down another notch. And so if he gets banned from the 2012 olympics, his legacy will forever be tainted. People will remember an athlete who never reached his potential because of self inflicted wounds. It's not hard to avoid weed. Millions of people in this country have enough control and never touched the stuff.

Phelps will still live a blessed life. He just may not achieve all that he could have.

Wonder how much the snitch got paid.

uh, a photo and a water pipe, do not mean that there was marijuana in the pipe... there is no proof other than what ppl have said, that it was marijuana, even phelps didnt directly say marijuana, and could have been referring to his other behavior...

Exactly. Its could easily be argued there isn't enough evidence to prove he was smoking maryjane. Plus wouldn't be strange for him to shave all his body hair to prevent testing.

Phelps acknowledges photo showing him smoking pot

By PAUL NEWBERRY ? 3 hours ago

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Olympic great Michael Phelps has acknowledged "regrettable" behavior and "bad judgment" after a photo in a British newspaper showed him smoking marijuana.

In a statement released to The Associated Press, the swimmer who won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Games conceded the authenticity of the exclusive picture published Sunday by the tabloid News of the World.

Phelps said: "I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."

He won't get banned unless he fails an IOC drug test. Try again.

Based on his past history, he must at least be smart enough to not toke while in the midst of competition or he has a way of beating/bypassing the tests.

It's like when you find out that kid in HS who is always high as shit has a 4.5 gpa, 2400 SAT, and is going to harvard, and you wonder wtf you did wrong.

He should say that he smoked it but he didn't inhale. If it worked for a US President it will work for him.

It didn't really work for a US President.

He'll regret it or he doesnt intend to compete again anyway. This isnt the first time fame has destroyed someone.

Hopefully he makes a comeback. :thumbsup:

Haha, you guys are hilarious. "How typical, it's not surprising he smoked pot, I mean he's so cocky, and fame destroys people and gets them to do things like that."

Hey guess what! I used to smoke pot, and I've never been famous, nor cocky!

Yeah, you're right. I was "being cocky about not being cocky." That was definitely the gist of my post. That's exactly it. I sat down and decided to write a post about how not full of myself I am, thereby demonstrating my own ego. It definitely wasn't a post to intending to point out the silliness of some of the earlier implications. It was all about me and my incredible aura of non-cockiness.
