(I think it looks more like Jason Wahler from Laguna Beach than Michael Phelps, actually)


Honestly, I don't really care about what Michael Phelps does. And his apology is probably all BS anyway... but I guess it's good for the people who really do care a lot about him and his health.

Thoughts? Does this make you like him more/less? Do you care?

Who really cares? A guy with his resources and fame could do even worse things.

that explains how he's so good. a long body cant win you 8 medals in 1 olympic game

marijuana + long body = 8 gold medals

aspiring swimmers around the world gonna be bongin' it up now

^Word.

Why do you have Boxxy as your avatar?

your avatar is scary but you signature is hot:]

y u no lyk boxxy

it's not like there's a soundclip :)

She's pretty and all, but her eyelining job alone pisses me off.

You should hear her talk.

oh shoot, thanks for reminding me about the make up contest

meth or crack, along those lines

well the recurring theme is drugs anyways :]

Fine, lol.

Michael Phelps is kinda a butter face. Or but-his face. Or whatever.

michael sure knows how to blow

yo she sounds more normal in this vid though

lol yeah, I was gonna say

^x2 Hey, you're right! Except she still does that weird thing with her neck, and her eyes dart around like crazy. But yeah, definitely less crazy there.

she sounds the same

Lol, replace Boxxy with the decapitated girl from Scary Movie 1.
SHE WOULD STILL BE TALKING IN THE TRASHCAN, haha.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. If he wants to get high every once in a while, then let him.

smoking from a bong*

your not actually smoking the bong

^ My bad. Forgive my faulty terminology. (somebody edit it?) Wow I didn't know we could edit our own titles...

Well how else you think he's going to down 8,000 calories?

I don't think it really matters. It's not he was taking steroids or performance enhancing drugs.

it's kinda wack how the media takes people who are "celeberties" and take their private life and put it on blast like that

its ok, its best to know now than in an actual conversation so you dont look dumb

lol

Doesn't even look like him.

in general who cares, but pretty stupid imo if it loses him endorsements. wouldn't be worth a couple million to me.

He's prolly been smokin weed for years now. People are just mad that more and more successful people are being caught with weed, so the "stoners amount to nothing" speech doesn't hold too much water.

Many of the best jujitsu athletes I know smoke a lot of pot. That's what they do. They eat, sleep, smoke pot, and jujitsu. They say it makes them move a lot smoother.

I learned how to work the momentum on my nunchakus while I was under the influence. So awesome.

-edit

Also, they found traces of THC in Bruce Lee's autopsy as well. Personally, I think weed really helps athletes. That's probably how Phelps won all those medals. Lots of pot.

because hes an ***hole who wants me to die from the pain of falling in love with that jailbait.

Exactly man. For example, look at me: I, too, smoke pot now and again, and like Phelps, I'm also 23, and I'm a successful out-of-work computer programmer and struggling writer.

Oh, wait...

brb alerting press

HERE IS ANOTHER REMINDER, JUNA

So he smokes weed every now and then. Hell, I wouldn't care if he smoked all day everyday. He's still awesome. I don't understand why it's such a huge story. I realize he's doing something illegal, but IT'S JUST WEED. Like mentioned before, I think people, specifically our elders and government, don't like the idea of a marijuana user being successful.

What's even more messed up is that he was with a friend, who probably smoked with him, whom he thought he could trust and got stabbed in the back. That's just pathetic. Of course, his friend doesn't get ridiculed because he doesn't have the status Phelps does. People smoke weed every day and aren't looked down upon. Why's Phelps any different? I know he's seen as a role model, but honestly, weed isn't that bad. Smoking weed is a hell of a lot better than getting legally shitfaced off alcohol every night, making a complete fool of yourself, and possibly driving home and injuring you or yourself. But, you know it's ok, 'cause alcohol is legal. Stupid government.

Man, i hope he aint smoking no pussy ass weed. that shit better be dank

How did they even get that picture? O__o

they need to really just leave people alone. that's how come people have problems once the media gets involved in their life. cause once reporters and what not get on you you hear ur name everywhere in the news and then you hear 20 different stories then everyone rates you based on what they think is right or not.
honestly i don't care if he smokes weed
shit more power to him cause in the end people are just mad they can't smoke weed and still get 8 gold medals in one shot.
but i guess that's how this whole thing works right?

Someone from the party snapped a photo and sold it to a tabloid.

Probably a sorority girl or a frat ***hole...

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but marijuana isn't a performer enhancer, so why should anyone care?

so the moral of the story is if you're well known to the public don't go to parties and do somethin stupid

People care because we live in a country in which marijuana is portrayed to be as dangerous as heroin, and every TV commercial segment features in ad that tells us that anyone who takes so much as one hit of pot will end up being a good-for-nothing pothead -- even though roughly 40% of Americans have smoked pot at least once in their lives.

And partly this is a big deal because that image is shattered: Phelps, a mature adult, smokes pot, but geez, he's one of the most successful athletes alive today. Doesn't look good for the anti-pot movement -- so now they need to press to crucify him so they can continue to convince Americans that weed is a terrible, terrible drug.
