Anyone who thinks that Michael Phelps could be a spokesperson for why pot should become a legalized drug go ahead, call him and ask. The fact is that it is illegal, and if detected in the blood or urine of a young person can lead to them being fired, prosecuted and/or stigmatized. Until that changes it is a big deal, and I am not forwarding the idea that Phelps should be punished or stigmatized for a photo. He will however find out that not everyone with a camera is friendly and admiring, and he should be cautious who he picks for his friends as he was when he was young. For as many people there are who cheered him at the Olympics there are just as many who would cheer at his failure.
