Michael Phelps In Twouble

[darkshark]

That's not Phelps, it was photoshopped. Famous people NEVER do anything bad. Fact.

[XTF PBAsniper]

The Super Bowl dominated the show, but they took wide-eyed note of what was crawling across the bottom of the screen: the news about Michael Phelps admitting that, yes, it really was him in that instantly infamous picture, smoking a marijuana bong.

Hmm...

Great new PSA opportunity: "Don't smoke pot, you might end up being the fastest swimmer in history and winning 8 gold medals in the Olympics."

[OrganisM]

Yeah, would be awful inconvenient for the propaganda companies, wouldn't it? Truth hurts.

[nois-or-e]

This whole thing made me lol. He has probably just given countless millions of pot smokers around the world the inspiration to get off their couch and actually do something with their life. Or something that doesn't involve getting to the bottom of a bag of crisps.

But in all seriousness, it's his life, let him live it. A world-record breaking pothead. whoodathunkit?

Or perhaps the only people he really affected were those concerned with his image, instead of any of those who were supposed to be affected, who were the whole reason for people to be worried about his image all along.

Where the hell are my gold medals.

I've: done drugs, smoked, and consumed alcohol.

I'm getting into: music production and planning on making a career of it.

I'm following in the footsteps of: Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, NIN, Depeche Mode.... and all the gods of music.

Uh oh kids, looks like I'm a disappointment to my parents.

Oh and, where is your spelling? You consmuer, you. :P [joke, don't take it personal]

Do not compare yourself to The Beatles again.

[Syhto]

Pink Floyd is infinitely better than the Beatles nfd.
Also this is a dumb story. I literally lol'd when I saw it on the news last night.

[NFD]

Because Pink Floyd gave a rooftop concert on January 30, 1969.

[hoochan]

my day has just been made and im pretty sure i will be in an awesome mood for the rest of the 22 hours in it

awesome

ps-all you pot haters are ignorant on the subject. those of you who dont smoke it but dont care about people who do should try it. its pretty awesome. just dont make a habit of it because it can get pretty ****ing expensive.

pps-to syhto he might have a pussy throat though

ppps-jocks do get ****ty weed

[Syhto]

It really isn't that expensive at all- even if you get dank. It all depends on where you are and who it is. connections, resources, etc. Because even at a g+ a day here isn't expensive, but enough drug talk.

p.s. grow

p.p.s. don't get me started on how much the Beatles suck compared to Pink Floyd NFD because I have a lot of **** against the beatles

On topic: Everyone will eventually just forget about this little "mishap" if you want to call it that. I don't know anyone that has gone all the way through college and etc without at least once smoking pot. No one really cares. All the media wants is attention and something to flap their gums about. Are we supposed to find it surprising? I really don't. This isn't news. It's just the media being asses because they have no good stories. So many people smoke/have smoked I don't even know why people get upset. Alcohol is much more mentally and physically taxing.

Just dumb stuff like I said

[NFD]

They have completely different styles. It's like comparing The Jonas Brothers to Queen. You just don't.

On topic: They said he might have gotten away with denying it.

[Syhto]

He could have just said it was tobacco or some other legal herb FFS.

20$+ a g for dank **** here where i live idk about you but thats pretty expensive and seeing as how its only a 5$ discount for an eighth of an o it still is pretty expensive unless you are a freeloader or a girl

ps- growing is hard when you live with parents who dont understand pot

I said I was following in their footsteps, and since I'm influenced by them and doing a lot of things they had done, that's a perfectly valid statement. I didn't say I was like the Beatles, nor did I say that I even wanted to be. Way to be a pompous dick about it. And people knock me for being sharply critical.

As for the Pink Floyd vs. Beatles debate, they're entirely different. There's a reason I listed both. I like the way the Beatles are personable and able to connect on a very strong level with simple yet brilliant lyrics. Pink Floyd, on the other hand, gets to the other side of your mind in a different way. There's something about their soundscapes and the soul of their music that just resonates within your bones. Each made a big impact in my life, yet I wouldn't spend much time trying to justify one's existence over the other.

And on the topic of pot, it isn't that expensive. There are many different strains, so a better high that creeps up on you and overwhelms you yet is completely mellow will cost you a lot more than the cheap Mexican stuff they sell in 1lb bricks. If you know your dealer well, over time, you'll get a discount, and that "I-don't-know-you" tax will disappear. My dealer had been pretty generous after I started constantly buying. That said, I smoked so much white widow that I did burn through a fair chunk of cash. But then I stopped being a stoner and started being a pothead. When you start smoking to get away from your problems instead of solving them, you're a sniveling pothead and need to get sober and deal with your life before you go back to smoking. So that's what I did, though I simply have been too active to have time to lay back and smoke. I'd like to do so once in a while, but heavy smoking's too much for me.

Uhh, you're right. One doesn't compare the two. The Jonas Brothers are manufactured pop garbage and the poster child of the cancer that is threatening to envelop the industry, while Queen is one of the most musically inspired bands ever to play, with a number of masterpieces to their name.

Oh and hXc straightedge kid likes the Beatles. lawl. My first joint was while listening to Hey Jude. That song changed my life, and that was before I'd even known who had made it, so it's not as if I love them because everybody's so nuts over them.

[hoochan]

its a really sad day when your dealer gets busted...and all the other ones too...

my area is SOOOOO dry right now its not even funny and i never smoke anything below mids and thats only occasional most of the time its dank **** yo
