Perhap, Lee, the DRUG LAWS are what’s passe! The militarization of our local law enforcement and the armaments employed by the CARTELS to fight each other over the ma$$ive amounts of $$$$$ involved is criminal Mrijuana in particular makes no sense other than keeping it illegal makes the black market profits ennormous. By now we should have figured out that weed is innocuous really anjd that decriminalization or legalisation could actually bernefit society at large! The magnitude of money spent ion prison expansion in the past decade is huge! And do not kid yourself thinking that some of the people profitting from the status quo aren’t the very ones prohibiting progressive action relating to this “CRIME” Look at what’s coming across the border and the explosion in violence there! In the pacific N W forests and national parks are now set up with grow operations that will prove to be deadly! In fact near the Oregon coast a loose acquaintance was chased to his death out of the forest near his home cause he stumbled onto such an operation! Plant that stuff in a secure field and market it to adults with responsible expectations, tax it and get the guns out of our back yards! That is my advocacy!!! NOT the use of dope

PRHAPS the mouse is an indicator species! Do ya know what that is? If a mouse cannot survive in your house perhaps you shouldn’t breed ther either! ‘cause ther may be some environmental poison that prevents the NORMAL / NATURAL biochemistry from producing what GOD intended! It’s time we as HUMAN CARETAKERS of “GOD’S GREEN EARTH” do something to preserve the filtration and water systems! 10.000 years humans lived without oil HOW LONG YA GONNA LIVE IN TOXIC SESPOOLS?

REID is a wus and needs mamma P. to spank his rep/mormon ass and get tough or get out! He make me hurl!

I believe that marijuana laws are promulgating very violent groups and piting them against our civil society . The money involved on the black market is far far more dangerous than the simple weed we need protection from. There are increasing articles about the murderous gangs along the border of Mexico and their entrenchment in our forests. The war on drugs has accomplished nothing except more prisons and more violence! I do not take narcotics or even huff doobage, but I’m sick of the militarization of my local sheriff!

ECO-TERRORISTS I say! aswell as the execs at the peanut factory these are the real terrorists that threaten us from within! But let’s round up all the tree huggers That will show the kids whose in charge!

Liz, You should condone the proper use of marijuana. Michael phelps should have stood the hell up and said ” yes I participated in a social event where I inhaled marijuana” I got my world record ass up at 5 AM the next day and I worked my ass off again and I intend to be ready to make HISTORY again! So all you knuckle heads that think marijuana is going to have a negative impact on my training or anything I endeavor are so far off the mark it is ridiculous!!! As far as the message for children: GOOD parenting includes the message that TIME and PLACE and MODERATION in all things! That should be the law! MARIJUANA LAWS are the true violation here! This society has been funding the most unprecedented prison expansion program in human history!! most of it promoted as the “WAR ON DRUGS” Really it is a war on freedom! The increased militarization of your local sheriff to counter the increased arming of the black market forces that deal in this enterprise. Marijuana is not addictive but $$$$ are! Marijuana never killed any one but drug cartels have! C’mon Liz step up and say the truth! Marijuana is innocuous and “I” condone it as an alternative to the violence and thievery that masquerades as civil law enforcement!

Occasionally I buy a megabucks ticket and the thought has always been that the spoils would be shared! size matters though and were it substantial the checks would be written otherwise maybe just a great party in a far off place!

If he didn’t want to be a role model he shouldn’tve taken the money? If he didn’t want to be a role model he should not have dedicated his every waking moment to the pursuit of perfection! Isn’t that what you really mean, or are you still one of those narcophobics that believe what you’ve heard about marijuana? It’s not addictive! It’s not a hallucinative! It’s merely a mood enhancer and perhaps it centered his thoughts while in the pool and allowed him to stay singularly focussed on his training! POT LAWS ARE PURLY A SCAM ON THE TAX PAYERS AND A POLICE STATE ENABLER

YEAH Massachusetts!!!!! De Crim is the answer!!! otherwise R J R Reynolds has pre licensed the rights to ” green cigarettes ” More corporate control over God’s green earth!

OH GEEZ!

The real point is that we shouldn’t be so down on him for puffin’ Do you know how much $$$$$$$ has bee thoroughly flushed into the greedy corporate coffers by calling this thing ” drug war” Private prison industries have taken you tax payers to the cleaners since 84 when Ronnie declared this W O D Gambler Bill Bennett lost over $ 3 Mil. He got less public discussion! Michael may just relax and F O C U S while in the pool for 6 + hours 8 F- ing GOLD medals nOW doritos needs to sign him up!

That’s right ! He should stand up and let all the parents and children know exactly how hard he works every F-ing day and MARIJUANA laws are a bigger scam than Bernie Madeoff pulled! NORML should get quickly by his side and hold those corporate parasites to the S W I M M E R S endorsements! They should put his highlite reel on the 24news loop and remind you’se all what a special disciplined athlete he IS!!!

God!! It appears I have the munchies by the mess I left above!

UNLESS as someone suggested IT ENABLED HIM TO CONSUME THE REQUISITE 12000 callories a day needed to energise a OCTAgoldn athlete!!!!!

Not only NO but HELL NO he shouldn’t appologise! He should simply stand up and say I was at a party and I smoked some weed! I had a great time I woke early the next day and had some really pleasant memories of the party and the nice time with good people while I was working my ass off in the pool for 6 hours LOOK HE IS A CHAMPIONS CHAMPION AND THE SILLY LAWS REGULATING MARIJUANA ARE ASSININE THE PRISON INDUYSTRIES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE USING WEED TO CREATE A CRIMINMAL CLASS OF PEOPLE AND THIS TOO MUST STOP I do not take drugs and it’s been several years since i even had a taste of pot, but The ” war on drugs” is a bigger scam than Bernie Madeoff pulled! Rmemeber the gambler Bill Bennett??? yeah “DRUG CZAR” BARF WEED is a simple, organic natural mood enhancer. God made it simple and safe It’s way past time to DE CRIMINALIZE marijuana
