he’s not taking drugs, the government made pot into a drug and the media likes to feed on stories about it, weed is just a plant that people have been smoking for thousands of years, big deal, almost everyone has tried it…

okay, some friends of mine were actually at this party. there were security guards outside of the party making sure people DIDN’T bring cameras into the place but apparently one got it. they thought it was weird that security was at the party until they got inside and saw him there.
my friends said there was definitely some serious bong-passing and phelpsie-poo was right in the middle of it, not to mention a high stakes game of beer pong (apparently the stakes got to be as high as $3000). he can deny all he want, but…really?

He fucking smoked POT. Holy fuck who doesn’t? Honestly, I don’t understand why it’s not legal since so many people smoke it anyway. Leave Michael alone.

okay the dude smoked some weed. Do you know how many people smoke pot? If anyone has smoked pot, they know, it is not even remotely close to taking drugs like ecstasy, mushrooms, heroin, meth or even drinking alcohol… they are completely different levels. I totally agree that alcohol is a more dangerous drug than marijuana. I can’t believe its such a huge deal to some people.

Smoking weed is hardly “heading down the wrong path”. I know plenty of normal, hard working, responsible, intelligent and professional individuals that smoke pot from time to time.

I’d like to add, I don’t even smoke weed at this point in my life but I certainly don’t have a problem with other people doing it.

I don’t think he’s so bright either. Kind of seems like he’s heading down the wrong path..But doesn’t anyone remember a few years back he got a DUI? He appologized then and I thought he learned his lesson, but doesn’t seem like it. He should be held accountable for his actions, he’s a top level athlete and he knows the rules.

Alcohol WAS illegal, reread your history books to see how well that turned out. Make both legal, with age restrictions.

Toke it man Toke it!!! There is nothing wrong with weed,it’s not has bad as alcohol and not deadly like alcohol and alcohol is legal. I say make alcohol illegal and legalize weed. If people would OPEN their eyes to that than this would be a non issue!!! And we all know this was not a first time offense…hopefully next time he is smart enough to do it in his own home with no camera’s…because people he will be tokin it again!!!
LEGALIZE IT!!!!!

I don’t think his apology is sincere. Drugs are bad, mmn-kay, especially if you sell wheaties or doubleclick ads on a gossip blog.

I think that the guy in the picture looks more like Jason from Laguna Beach than Michael Phelps.

Too bad weed won’t make him hot. I think he’s a good person but not a wise choice. You’d think someone who supposedly takes care of his body would not smoke pot. But, he’s 23 and it’s not a huge deal. Still, Ian Thorpe is way hotter, even though he’s packed on the lbs. M Phelps is prob the most famous unattractive man on Earth. Other than Mini Me.

the guy has a learning disability…is a great swimmer…but not the brightest bulb on the tree. he obviously is missing the common sense chip. his mom knew this and thats why she got him involved in sports. there are so many people out there who will want to bring him down and hang on to him for his money and fame. a smart cookie would never have allowed himself to be in this position. the hookers and strippers that suddenly showed up around him was clue number one: he needs to be handled by someone trustworthy…..like his mom or sister or a very trusted friend.

he is not capable of navigating this new world on his own.

If he only smokes the ganja on really rare occasions, then that could be what he means, that he doesn’t take them with regularity, but enjoys the odd puff here and there. Which I’d agree with that logic, but I also think anyone that uses a bong is a full on pothead. The occasional smokers I know only smoke a j, usually sharing it.

I agree “K”. This is ridiculous. Now they are saying the Olympics Commissioner wants to have a talk with him… Its green and natural and obviously does not impact his swimming. Although he is a public figure and role model, people are truly blowing it out of proportion… Leave him alone… Sweep it under the carpet along with Kate Moss’s coke addiction, etc, etc, etc.
