Default Poll: Does anybody care about Michael Phelps and his bong?

After reading through the news listings this evening, I saw the headline where Michael Phelps "Speaks Out".

What are your takes on this, fellow IW's?

Evidence he's human. Hopefully he'll deal responsibly with it. Hopefully the media will stop canonizing anyone who does anything admirable. Hopefully young folks will learn that some decisions have lifelong impacts.

*edit*

Lessee... suspended from the USA swimming team for 3 months, including no financial support. Dropped by Kellog as a sponsor... less support.

Fortunately for him, the rest of his sponsors are sticking around... for now. Hope he's putting it in the bank...

That would get my vote - yes weed might not be good for you, no we should not encourage it but strewth I wish the police would enforce corporate corruption and child abuse with the same zeal.

In theory, if financial restitution is leglislated for all the harm prohibition has caused, Phelps could get quite a payday.

Legalized, yes. Taxed only as much as rosemary, thyme, and sage.

Little to no taxes would be collected when a few community gardens can provide pounds and pounds for free. It is so easy to grow. Pot's price is artificially inflated by the black market on an immense scale. Legalization would cause such a tremendous drop in prices, and many people scared to grow because of harsh penalties would take up the hobby. The legalized pot industry would be a niche one.

The industrial side of the plant, our great war hero HEMP, that's the money maker for our society after the fall of prohibition.

We could make tremendous amounts of very good quality clothing with that plant. In a time of durable energy I'd say 'why not'.

I didn't know, and to be honest, didn't much care. He's human. So what?
