    Default Phelps

    The Michael Phelps situation is stupid. He's been suspended for posing in a photo with a marijuana pipe. His deal with Kellogg's has been drop, all because of a stupid picture.

    He is a pretty big D-Dag but...

    Yeah pretty blown out of proportion.

    But really Kellogg has every right to end the sponsorship.
    It is a brand primarily aimed at families/children.

    I expected this to be a shitty thread based off the title and the fact that this happened like 4 days ago? Which is like 3 years in internet time.

    I was going to be nice but your post sucks. There are enough shitty posters here that we don't need another. At least make a new account and try again.

    this is the dumbest fucking thing ever, yet if he had a picture of him holding a beer no one would have thought twice. it's a fucked up system, if the guy wants to get high, let him get high. it should be a good thing for raising your awareness about marijuana and how it should be legal. the guy is a god damned olympic champion and he smokes weed, so much for that whole lazy argument.

    An argument could be made that there are less problems associated with marijuana use if it was controlled the same as alcohol. Nobody could ever tell me the a logical reason nor the difference between the two and why one is legal and one is not. If I had my choice to pick which should be legal and which should not, I would pick pot. I think less harm is done on both public roads and in private homes by people who smoke. This all excludes teenagers of course. I think the difference in the health of a nation would be better off too if alcohol was the illegal one.

    FWIW, This has all been said by someone who drinks occasionally and hasn't smoked pot in 20 years.

    smoking weed is illegal even with a medical condition in most places. It's total BS. It's also hypocritical for a drug like alcohol to be legal, but not marijuana. I say legalize it, regulate it, tax it.

    5 bucks says you can't tell me *why* it's illegal without googling it.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    bolded for emphasis. but i should be legal, and that was my point. we live in an insane society that they can tell us we can drink a beer, smoke a cigarette, but stay away from this plant that does no harm. if the govt was really out to protect us, cig/alc would be illegal and marijuana would be legal. it's silly.

    calling smoking marijuana a crime is insane, it's a victimless crime if it should be considered a crime at all.

    the only reason people are overreacting and are in shock is because of this crazy taboo of propaganda that goes into what we think weed is. no one stops to think and question why weed is illegal yet other drugs flourish for billions of dollars every year.

    Something to do with a slight conspiracy against the hemp plant because it would have been too much competition for the rich cotton growers?

    Never read any stickies or announcements
    Tobacco and alcohol are legal because the federal government makes an insane amount of money off of them via taxes. They have also been an integral part of the US since its existence. It's hard to change the status quo.

    Everyone also has this misconception that the government actually cares about you or is in any way logical when it comes to things other than money (i.e. trying to get more of it). lol

    if they legalize and tax they make more money.

    The biggers problems imo:

    lobbyists from legal drugs have tons of money (don't forget scripts in addition to smokes/booze).

    they know once weed goes other drugs will follow and they use the drug laws to put away people they can't catch doing other stuff. Also they put a lot of poor people in jail which is always useful

    The first congressman that tries and fails gets auto unelected in most districts so I think it's going to have to be a second term president or something.


    Prison overcrowding is probably the best hope to get something done soon.
