I never smoked my cat or dog out. However, I knew a couple of horses that would push you over, even bite, if you didn’t give them some. You would exhale and they would be right there, in your face, to get some. I miss those guys .

the only mistake he couldve rly made was get caught…

he OBVIOUSLY didnt have pot in his system at the games.

they take the athletes off the podium, take them into a room, WATCH them pee into a cup, and test it

he got tested 8 times. he wasnt high while competing so he didnt do anything wrong.

the guy shouldnt be getting so much shit for havin a little fun once in a while

For people who says he should be alowed to live how he chooses. You are right to a sertain degree but as soon as he chooses to accept a sponsor he agrees to follow their rules and guidelines(just like with any other job). And you are not allowed to break laws just because you don’t agree with them either. If you belive a law is wrong then you should fight to change it.

and a fine example it was. smoke some dope and become the worlds greatest amateur swimmer!
now if we can just find out how many bj’s he gets a day and work that into the equation, we’ll be all set.
like it or not celebs and politicians are ‘more equal’ and get away with crap you and i wouldn’t. but it’s also their status that sometimes helps to change the arcane laws and beliefs.

the reason why it’s a big deal when he does it is because he’s an olympian. he’s supposed to be the gold standard. he’s supposed to set the example for millions of impressionable youth out there. yes, other people do it, and other people get in trouble for it too, don’t they. just not on the level he did. we’re poor peons. he’s an olympic superstar.

And what’s the value in forcing people to do what’s best for themselves? Just because something is wrong or non-optimal is no reason to force people not to do it. Humans make mistakes, and that’s how they learn. If you deny people the opportunity to make their own choices and learn from them, you deny them life. A world in which everyone does the right thing because they want to would be a real paradise; a world in which everyone does the right thing because they have to would be an empty, meaningless existence.

but we should. there’s a reason from our history why they’re not taxed, but that doesn’t apply any more. they don’t supply a communities needs like they
did 200 years ago.
.
for any charity work they do, fine, they shouldn’t be taxed, but for everything lse, of course they should be.
it’s not going to happen any time soon though.

Ooh. Now I get interested. They might have a very different image of pot in Sweden depending on when and where they’ve lived. But I still really believe that it’s much less common than in the US. Much.
.
would you say that it’s tough to not know anyone who has smoked it?
Probably not so hard. First because not at all that many do smoke it, but mostly because it’s just nothing you talk about. Most people who know me probably don’t know that I tried it when I lived in the US, because I’ve never seen any reason to tell them about that. If they’ve lived in the States themselves, I kind of assume that they suspect that I have, and vice versa, but still – why would we talk about it? So, I would say it is not hard to go through life without knowing someone who you know have smoked marijuana.

Your friends’ drug habits, sexual preferences, religious beliefs and which party you vote for are things you Just Don’t Talk About. (Generally speaking.)

He should not have to be a role model that is not his job. shouldnt peoples parents be the rolemodels instead of some swimmer? the idea that he is role model is just american celebrity worship. if someone smokes a bit because him then good weed isnt bad just read seth’s comments above

Yeah… this is the kind of info you come up with when you take the government’s
anti-drug commercials hook, line, and sinker.

The truth? Not only do people who smoke pot have a MUCH lower risk for lung cancer than the cigarette smoking population but those who smoke cigarettes and pot have lower lung cancer rates then those who smoke cigarettes alone.

Here is a summary of the study done… by a guy who’s been helping the government wage the drug war no less.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/25/AR2006052501729_pf.html

Even worse, there is evidence that the THC in Marijuana will actually inhibit tumors growth and stop them from spreading to other areas of the body. The researchers of this study suggest that marijuana has a possibility as a lung cancer treatment.

I don’t. I’ve had communion twice before I quit going to church and that is that total amount of alcohol I’ve consumed. Not that it matters now since I turned 21 on Sunday and drinking alcohol is no longer illegal for me.

I actually smoke literally half a cigarette a day or less. I’ve all but quit, but can’t bring myself to quit completely because it implies commitment.

A drug is a drug is a drug, if I may be bold enough to step in.

Another answer to your question about what alcohol has to do
with Phelps’ behavior would be to point out that he served 18
months probation after pleading guilty to DUI on 29 Dec 2004.

Thank you. Phelps admitted that there was pot in the
bong (by apologizing), and the location and time are
known, and the time frame falls within the statute.

If that were true, then the phrase ‘you can’t have your cake and eat it too’ would have no meaning in the vernacular. Also, then people would never strive to reach things they can’t get at the present time.

If my mommy has a good reason why I shouldnt eat the candy, then I wont eat the candy, and I will tell my friends not to eat candy, and post comments on the internet about why we should ban candy.

By: froofrou

froofrou — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 01:23:59 +0000

Let’s put this in a language you can understand.
-
Let’s say your mommy sees you with some candy. You’re simply holding the candy, not necessarily eating it. Now, your mommy comes and takes the candy away from you and tells you that you can’t have the candy anymore.
-
With me so far? Good.
-
Do you want the candy less or more because you no longer can get to it? And, if your mommy has left said candy out where you can get it and simply said no, or your friend next door has candy that you can easily get to, would you go get the candy yourself and hide the fact that you’ve eaten it, or will you be a good little boy and not eat the candy like your mommy said not to do?
-
Let me spell it out just in case you’re not following me.
-
YOU WILL GRAB THE CANDY AND EAT IT. And then you will lie when your mommy asks you what happened to the candy! Or, you will go next door to Timmy’s house and get some candy from him, and lie to your mommy about getting candy. We are human, and human nature says that we will try to get that which we can’t have.
-
In other words, if we ban everything again, it will go down just like it did before, if not worse.
