Legalize It?

I'm not pro or anti marijuana. Michael Phelps appears to be pro.

The picture that surfaced last week of him with a bong has prompted a quick apology. He apologized for bad judgement, not for smoking dope, like maybe he was just in the same room with it. In any case, he left himself some wiggle room.

The camp that wants to legalize marijuana is going to have a field day with this. If one of the world's greatest athlete smokes dope, it can't be that bad for your health. If he doesn't lose his endorsements, isn't that proof that society doesn't take a particularly dim view of it? If he does lose his endorsements, that is going to have been a very expensive bowl.
