So...... unless you've been living under a rock or in a coma or something, you've heard about Olympic swimming sensation Michael Phelps infamous “hitting the bong flick“. All this chaos surrounding him right now is utterly ridiculous. I mean the guy is only 23, the exact same age as me, and honestly its unfair for the media to knock him for wanting to get the munchies. I mean, the kid won 8 medals for our country, the least he can do is blow the scene green and eat some snacks. It wasn't like there was a photo of him injecting himself with steroids, heroin, or stuffing his nose with coke. It was weed!!! Cannabis to be precise, a plant that when smoked is less harmful than tobacco. Is it just me, or isn't this something that needs to be legal already??? I'm just sayin'. Viva La Amsterdam! True, he is in the public eye, but if weed were legal, Phelps would NOT be going through all this hoopla and still have a fat ass endorsement deal with Kellogg’s. Would there be this much drama if he got caught with a cigarette? Think about it…If young kids are really looking up to this dude to where they want to emulate everything he does, then the parent(s) might want to step in and explain that Phelps is a man who works as a professional swimmer, nothing more and nothing less. Albeit, he is a fast little fucker, that still doesn't automatically thrust him into "role model" territory. The media likes to make it that way, but the truth of the matter is Michael Phelps is just doing something he loves and happens to be the best at it. That doesn’t make him any less human than the rest of us. Hell, I like him more, now that I know MP smoka la mota, I can put him up there with my other fav 420 phenom’s Ricky Williams and Lamar Odom. Hail to the Chief! I knew I liked him when I found out he warmed up to Jeezy. Let’s be real, don’t you think its even more amazing that he was able to accomplish all of that while having ganja lungs…who knew? Give that man another medal!! Here’s a thought parents, turn your kids on to people who invite, cure, teach, etc... There’s nothing wrong with athletes, actors, and singers, but too many kids seek instant fame and will do anything to bypass an education to get it. Now, I might be a little biased because I think all plants should be treated fairly, call me a tree hugger if you like! ;)
