The guy is an amazing athlete, I don't know why people were on his case anyway - he is young, popular and should be allowed to have fun. I mean even Bill Clinton admitted to trying marijuana and so do a big part of the population. Phelps had to put up with so much abuse from the same people who were so proud of him during the Olympic games. The fact is weed is really not harmful to anyone and is just an easy target for the war on drugs program. Bottom line: we should be proud of him for his athletic abilities and support him.

In a democratic nation one should have the decision to smoke reefer.

Kellogg's didn't mind endorsing him when he had a drunk driving conviction, something that actually kills people.

It's not a war on (some) drugs (alcohol, tobacco, anyone? Those two LEGAL drugs kill almost 500,000 Americans *every year*), it's a war on minorities. I remember studying 'grandfather clauses' in grade school (google the term if you're unfamiliar with it). After the north won the civil war and outlawed slavery, corrupt politicians wrote 'grandfather clauses' to prevent the newly freed slaves from actually voting. After those were 'triumphantly' struck down as unconstitutional, Uncle Sam went and outlawed the *naturally growing substances* that minorities were using (instead of drinking the white man's alcohol).

Making it legal can have the product be done supporting some standards or process like what tobacco/cigarette has. Its medicinal properties can also be tapped and put into good use.

Until laws are changed, it seems Phelps can only play the sorry card to save whatever he has left.

It is the duty of a responsible citizen to disobey bad laws.
