The American fixation on the demonization of marijuana is ridiculous.

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.

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.
 
What an idiot -- I've heard that he's a really cocky guy, so this actually doesn't really surprise me

That was my first thought as well. This is pretty obliviously a fake. Not that that matters IMO.

he has every right to be cocky.

and: as ElFenix said, doesn't even look like him. fake story is my bet
 
I don't see how this could get him banned in itself, just bad for PR. Unless he actually tested positive for marijuana, he and his attorneys could always assert that he was just posing for a photo.
 
I thought he was dating some Asian dancer from Vegas? Why would he be dating some college chick from SC???

google: phelps asian girlfriend
 
Michael Phelps has released a statement:

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."

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.
 
The only reason MJ is illegal is 'cause it is not centralized, not run by multi-billion corporations, and most important aspect of all, lack of lobbyists. 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.
