I'm so relieved that, after his move up north, Daniel Solzman did not leave the Kentucky blogosphere in his wake. And let me be the first to say kudos on his post about Michael Phelps's drug abuse. "What the fricking heck?" indeed, Solzy!
Marijuana may seem like "no big deal" to thugs and hippies, some of whom even suggest that Phelps should apologize for his apology, but pot smoking is SERIOUS. Neverminding the fact that Phelps is a star athlete and a role-model to so many young, white, athletic, middle-class males, who may not be able to succeed in life except for the opportunities that excelling in sports may provide them, but as someone who has smoked pot (which I have not done since I accepted the Lord into my heart in 2003), I know that it leads to nothing but a road paved with Doritos and empty Yoo-Hoo bottles. No one wants to see someone who lives on Taco Bell in a Speedo, of that much I can assure you.

based upon your experience smoking pot, the result is a one-way road paved by sloth & lethargy. You should point out or consider, if you haven't, that outcomes different from yours are indeed possible, if not significantly probably.
here is a portion of hypothetical statement from Phelps written by The Agitator called A Letter I'd Like To See But Won't
Here’s a crazy thought: If I can smoke a little dope and go on to win 14 Olympic gold medals, maybe pot smokers aren’t doomed to lives of couch surfing and video games, as our moronic government would have us believe. In fact, the list of successful pot smokers includes not just world class athletes like me, [Ryan] Howard, [Ricky] Williams, and others, it includes Nobel Prize winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, the last three U.S. presidents, several Supreme Court justices, and luminaries and success stories from all sectors of business and the arts, sciences, and humanities.
Please educate yourself the history of marijuana prohibition. Here's a start: Realize that hemp = fiber for clothes, rope, paper, even a smoke.... (think: cotton industry, petroleum industry [nylon rope], timber industry, tobacco industry) and picture for yourself: Cui bono???
