The dateline was Jan. 2, 2009, and no one's picked this story up. I'm not sure, but it seems like the sort of thing media folks jump at.
I just heard about it tonight either on the local news or Dave Ramsey, can't really remember. I have been up all night watching this final between Nadal/Federer, it is all starting to blur together. At this pace I may be joining Alaskaguy by not watching the Super Bowl. :smile:

Interesting to see how this plays out.
Nice job on your devotion to tennis. Must be the Minnesota Guardsman in you that finds that appeal to tennis.:wideeyed::yes:
A few dollars worth of pot and a few million dollars in endorsement money might have gone up in smoke at the same time. I thought Phelps had more smarts about the value of his image than that.
I would agree...
It could be him though... He still is a young guy. I wouldn't be shocked if it was true.
Phelps came out and admitted that it was him in the pictures... I guess he just likes to party...
Let the guy smoke, the government has no right to tell any of you what to put in your body...Toke it up Phelps...."hey i have won 14 gold medals..What has pot did to you?" haha go get em phelps
Well he said he needed 6000 calories a day. Maybe he wanted some munchies to keep that intake up.
What a **** move. Doesnt seem to bother Phelps that much, Our country leader smoked a crap load of pot and sniffed coke..Wow!

I asked Jhudd earlier why no one had picked this up. Well, everyone has picked it up, so my questions are answered. What a boneheaded move.
The govt really should think about decriminalizing it and then just taxing the crap out of it. They could regulate it and employers could still make a determination on what they allow so that people would have to chose between that and their jobs. That way it wouldn't get out of control. Plus marijuana has the highest profit potential of any drug for how cheap it is to produce compared to what it is sold for. That would take the money out of it putting dealers out of business. The state of California takes in 11 million a year right now just in sales taxes from the medical marijuana distributors. Think of the revenue that could be generated if it were decriminalized and regulated on a national scale. We could literally smoke our way out of this recession.

And the employer that decided they didn't want marijuana smokers is sued out of existence the first time they try this, by an employee that doesn't want to be "discriminated against for legal activity they engage in during their personal time." That'll go pretty well.:no::no:
