Michael Phelps, Hypocrisy, & American Drug Policy
Big Bong Theory By Sally Jenkins
CN Source: Washington Post February 03, 2009 Washington, DC
So Michael Phelps dove headfirst into the bong water. Is anyone really surprised, after all those laps? There has always been something submerged and escapist about the world's greatest swimmer. When presented with a chamber containing a hazy translucent liquid, he did what's become second nature to him. He buried his face in it. I'm just sorry I wasn't at that University of South Carolina house party to witness Squid Boy's binge firsthand -- not that I would ever make such a staggering misstep myself. continued...

Does Embattled Phelps Deserve a Break?
CN Source: Associated Press February 03, 2009 New York
A young man appears to be smoking pot at a party. Big deal, right? Our new president has freely admitted doing just that in his youth - inhaling, too - and it didn't derail him one bit. So should we expect more of Michael Phelps? It depends on what we want and expect our youthful role models to be: perfect, or flawed like the rest of us. And so as the Olympic swimmer's many corporate sponsors were wrestling with their options Monday, a day after an embarrassing photo emerged of the decorated athlete appearing to inhale from a bong, some were looking at the bright side. continued...

Michael Phelps, Hypocrisy, & American Drug Policy By John V. Santore
CN Source: Huffington Post February 02, 2009 USA
Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps was recently photographed using a marijuana bong at the home of a friend. The photographic evidence made a denial impossible, which led to release of the following statement today... full story
"In a republic like ours, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then the law deserves no respect â?? break the law." - Henry David Thoreau
"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."
"Republic . . .
it means people can live free, talk free, go or come,
buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose."
-- John Wayne
Facebook: Michael Phelps's Notes
Michael you owe NO ONE an apology.
Especially the Hypocrites and Apologists.
You did not make a mistake. You toked a bong.
The entire Cannabis prohibition is the result of a lie.
The legal alternatives are far more de-habilitating.
Have the courage of your convictions.
The only time you owe anything is in the pool.
Off the clock means you are an American
with a Constitution guaranteeing your Free Speech.
Too bad Wall Street and Madison Avenue run on Fascism.
Many wise people have used cannabis for many reasons over the centuries. It reduces stress, unlike booze that inebriates into a comatose state. The smoke is an expectorant that helps open small airways and keep dangerous SMOG and pollutants from causing lung damage and cancer.
When a government outlaws research and hides past studies from the people, and even the schools. When they give away the Treasury and make wars behind our backs. Especially war on some citizens over certain drugs and plants. It is high time the people stood up and just said no.
Appeasing liars perpetuating cannabis prohibition is not good for the 3000 kids sodomized in juvi prison. Or the thousands of kids getting chemically poisoned from pesticides sprayed in drug war zones and farm lands. Not used on Hemp that is lumped into the mix. Non psychoactive narcotic burlap, blue jeans and a nutritional source of Omega 3 in its seed.
Now making up 98% of the nations "marijuana" eradication program. Protecting the kids with more fraud? Saving them from stronger fiber than trees produce? Can't tell a jury your doctor said try it cause the judge says it ain't medicine. In spite of the 300 joints Uncle Sam rolls each month for the remaining IND patients.
NO-ConPromise!
Be well,
