How much will that Bong Hit Photo hurt Michael Phelps Career ?

[palehorse]

Right or wrong, weed is still illegal. If it was legal, I'd probably smoke it from time to time myself. But it's not. It's illegal. Like Phelps, I too would lose my entire livelihood if I ever smoked it. So I don't smoke it. End of story.

Phelps acted the f'n fool.

Sad that...

 

[AFMatt]

If that is Phelps, the weed he was smoking must have been laced with one hell of a hair growth stimuant. Less than two weeks later his hair was covering his ears and sticking out about 1.5 inches off his neck, all the way down to his collar.. Amazing stuff!

 

[Jmman]

That could go in the books as the most expensive bong hit ever. I hope it was some killer stuff.....:roll:

 

[JS80]

Does this mean he can't compete in 2012 because he'll fail a drug test?

The only way pot is going to help him is if they put a big ass candy bar at the end of the race.

Holy crap, I didn't notice that. A friend owns a pipe shop, I always call them peroxides (ROOR', premed nerd), I wouldn't know a good pipe from a bad one, but they're arguably the nicest ones he's got.

Cannabis is about as harmful to humans as cat nip is to cats.

:roll: Prove it, because every other study I've read has told me exactly the opposite.

How many people have died from overdosing on Marijuana?

0

How many other drugs can you say the same about?

Of course there is limited studies about Marijuana since the Federal Government doesn't want them done.

There is this report - http://www.druglibrary.org/sch...studies/nc/ncmenu.htm http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/studies/nc/ncmenu.htm

Nixon wasn't to happy with the results so he round filed the report.

oops, sorry. meant to put that in.

I don't care, but it is stupid of him. Do we know it was weed? If he can argue that it was tobacco then maybe he'll be given a pass.

 

[MadRat]

It's more of a sad commentary on his whole generation more than on him personally.

Taking drugs? I bet his parents did more weed than he's done

So you just do whatever you're told then?

If your job has rules, and you wish to keep your job, you follow those rules.

When I made the conscious decision to work for Uncle Sam -- at age 17 -- I also made the commitment to live a drug-free life; as well as give up many other freedoms that average citizens enjoy.

Phelps essentially made the same conscious commitment when he became an Olympic Athlete who represents an entire nation.

If you don't like the rules at your job, find another job.

If you break the rules, be prepare to suffer the consequences of your decision.

 

[heyheybooboo]

Phelps was arrested in a Land Rover for driving while impaired and now 'alledgedly' photographed taking a bong hit. My conclusion?

Driving a Land Rover makes you smoke weed.

(which makes as much sense as this thread)

 

[StageLeft]

Heyheybooboo's logic is off. In truth, it's obvious that winning 8 medals puts one down the wrong road. Ergo, the IOC should put a ban on winning more than 7 medals ever again.

One of the most ridiculous comments in quite some time. Let me guess, you stop at red lights. What does that say about you?

 

[kylebisme]

It says he understands the difference between sharing the road with others and being a fucking sheep.

 

[MovingTarget]

Yet another event showing that our "just say no" policies on drugs are waaay out of whack with the harm that they cause society. It is time to reevaluate the war on drugs and in this particular situation, leave Phelps alone until 2012 unless he does something REALLY stupid in the interim. (no, taking a hit from a bong full of cannabis doesn't count...that is only marginally dumb at best...)

Vic's point is that social change isn't brought about by saying things like "I don't like it, but that's the rules", it's brought about by people ignoring and flaunting the rules en masse until it becomes obvious that the laws are outdated.

Prohibition was not ended by people silently writing letters, but by going to speakeasys and drinking as much as before prohibition (if not more)

The civil rights movement didn't generally involve black people silently riding in their section of the bus.

Obscenity laws in the 60s 70s were changed years after pornography was widely available.


This doesn't mean that you personally have to go out and smoke in the street, but it does mean supporting people who do break the rules and not supporting the status quo. So remember, saying something like "I don't like it and its not right, but that's the law" really means you're saying "I'm OK with it and support the status quo".

Yeah, I agree. Tho, there are a lot people with a PJ mentality and the US is not ready to legalize it yet.

Oh, I get it. You believe that Phelps was practicing civil disobedience in some grandiose effort to effect changes in our legal system.

Yeah, that must be it...

If he took to the streets in loud and angry protest of our current drug laws, then you might have had a valid point. Instead, the idiot simply got caught taking a rip at some local college keg party.

One does not need to actually break a law to effectively protest said law.
