Phelps Won't Face Charges Over Bong Photo

[smokemadbong]

the associated press needs to smoke a bong pipe or what ever they called it ahah

[TheNewWorldMan69]

arresting someone for smoking pot is a waste of time and money.

[pclose11]

u can say what you like but i think his amazing bong powers helped him to become the greatest olympian of all time

[Squasharr]

If you win 14 medals for your country using your body, you should be able to do whatever you want with it afterwards with the fullest consent of that country... fucking moral laws being pushed upon us but we have all closed our eyes. If I chose to take the risk of not wearing a seatbelt, why the fuck would I be charged for it? Some states in the US have a law against suicide even, but I can drink myself to death by mistake with legal booze.. Old men in the government: get the fuck out.

[scottyboyproductions]

smoke on<3

[davidveltri101]

this is bull shit dude every one smokes pot

[MrMidzman420]

that guy looks baked as shit his eyes are soo red

[athlonz2007]

And everyone, stop using marijuana and pot WTF IS THIS? ... The proper word is cannabis or female hemp i guess!

[01stGeneral]

what a loser those medals are now tarnish so he might as well throw them out or pawn them when noone else renews any of his contracts...haha freaking pothead

[athlonz2007]

Your last 4 president smoked cannabis, .. THEY WERE PRESIDENT NOT POTHEAD!

[brandenb122]

hes just after his money!

[Aaron420ified]

who the fuck cares if he hits a bong, everyone else does lol

[Wonkydude]

Just let him smoke! He won like 10 gold medals, he deserves to chill.

[stuthestud]

wow do police have no better job to be working on

[kingofrock923]

weed isnt the drug problem. its heroin and meth and all that shit. LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

[DontDoDrugsSmokeHERB]

obviously hes not gonna get charged its a fucking picture. fucking morons

[whatisfloyd]

also, does anyone know if it directly helps reduce blood pressure? the night before a physical a while back i smoked and i ended up with an insanely low blood pressure. ive forgotten what it was by now but i believe both numbers were about 20 below 120/80

[EtherealGoSu]

That's what a healthy person should rest at. 120 / 80 is 'normal' or 'average' which doesn't mean to say it's good.

[whatisfloyd]

@EtherealGoSu

If you had read more carefully, I said both numbers were ~20 units below 120/80 which is to say around 100/60, which is definitely below average.

[gorillatrail]

lmao charged .... It was a picture its not illegal to be high or to be smoking it.... its illegal to posess marijuana wth damn what is this world coming to haha

[pyrotek40]

Fuck Kelloggs and their like.

[AnAngryCracker]

haha why the fuckshit would would they even try to charge him with a crime! idiots haha

[dgumm12]

agreed castostarlight

[C0LL1N]

woah he smoked a bong pipe?! this is a sign of the 2012 prediction! APOCALYPSE! APOCALYPSE!!!!

[castostarlight]

What the fuck is wrong with our society where we ban Olympic gold medalists from their sport over marijuana. Marijuana! My god, cigarettes and alcohol are worse.

[GWA38]

yeah pot does less damage than alchohol they should legalize it finaly

[RomanovDynasty]

Nah, just smoke cigarettes, it'll kill ya faster.

[cougz3111]

14 time gold medalist.... who gives a shit, let the guy have a bong hoot, he probably could throw back the biggest bowl. and that sheriff like he could use a bong hoot, what a tight ass. And whoever took the picture of him hittin the bong is an asshole for trying to make a couple bucks.

[darthpaul123]

the mistake he means he wont make again is doing it in front of people. he really bitched out though i think.

[0degree0]

did u know that most of the first presidents such as george washington, abe lincoln and thomas jefferson all smoked weed.. and that weed can be used for so many different things, clothing, oils, fuel, and more

[retgdde]

I love weed.That comment was what one of my co-worker told me. So i passed it along to the world to see what kind of response it would get...Free the weed and all her people.

[MMK86]

lol from a picture, what a fuckin joke. feel bad for this guy, someone just living their life and trying to have a good time.

[retgdde]

Death to the drug user....All drug users...should put to death..........God wants to kick your ass!!! Jesus will kill all drug users...even the drunks...

[CorkPessimist]

Jesus used drugs, regularly throughout the bible. Sure you couldn't read a few pages into it without it rambling on about wine. If god didn't want us to use Marijuana he wouldn't have put it here on Earth.

[POPEWORSHIPER]

Christians and muslims are so god damned fucking stupid.

[dshuskies16]

God MADE marijuana! Why would he want us dead for using his creation? God gave us this lovely plant and we are only humans using God's gift from above. Leave the man be, and let him celebrate the gift of cannabis without having to be criticized. Many people that you wouldn't suspect to have smoked marijuana, have smoked it.

[tptgtr5280]

god also made mercury, but that doesnt mean we should drink it. lol just because its natural doesnt make it safe or good for you.

[dshuskies16]

True. I fully agree with you, but mercury is a lot more dangerous to a human than marijuana. Marijuana only has a few minor damages it can do to one's body, like smoke entering the lungs (which is the most harmful) and people having been smoking many substances for years. The point is, smoking marijuana isn't the end of the world because many people have done it and are still doing it and live healthy lives.

[jerodirwin66]

god? god didnt make shit because god isnt real

[DontDoDrugsSmokeHERB]

jerodiwin66 thats a matter of beliefs.just because he's not real to you doesnt mean hes not real to others. so keep that shit to yourself.

[jerodirwin66]

how can he?

[playousk8]

im gonna go eat some kellogs right now haha

[THEDEN911]

if anything he deserves the gold medal more that he was smokin pot when he got it because smokin pot gets you lazier and you get tired more easy

its a gangster picture too

[thankyoupourlavideo]

In Canada, you either get caught in the act or you don't get caught at all, that's just how it works here :)

[onlymodestmouse]

fuckin ridiculous the amount of stirring this one picture caused. just stupid

[shfbdfi1273]

He took drugs. That's why he was able to win all those golds.

[SN1PAB0Y]

LOL no your retarded haha he had his photo taken when he was hottin from a bong

[mooghammondb3]

Only in America would criminal precedings be brought upon someone from a picture which surfaced on the internet.

[PsyogiBottoms]

Yeah, just goes to show you just how many people out there need REAL jobs. lol

[figsar]

Funny they interview him in a smokey sauna room about the matter. Uhmm.

[WOWwhatOproductions]

oh no! hes not a role model anymore cause the govenment and the media (centers of all evil) are making up everyones minds

hes more of a hero to me now

[oarngesownall]

im sorry I smoked pot and got 6 gold medals lol.  He should get extra medals

[JuBa347]

He can smoke , WTH on AMERICA ?!

Bong FTW , 8 medals .....

[Agentasian77]

That is retarded Everyone smokes the GANJA!

[JuBa347]

Ho yeah =)

[FunkyVinylJunkie]

damn right, even Olympic Gold medalists. surprised his face isn't on the cover of High Times or BongsDaily

[minenotyours212]

I heard about Phelps Diet for swimming. He eats mad food and that explains why. Hes got the munchies. Lol

[IwishItWas420]

weed isnt even bad fuck the media for this

[acuraintegra16]

fuck you for even investigating. if he wants too smoke some herb then let him

[oneofall213]

that fucking richland cop needs to go get a real fucking job and stop trying to make an example out of somone

[deathrowrecordingz]

that judge or law officer looks like he is the high one look at his eyes.

[scruffylovesbongs]

smoke to that dude

[vertox123abc]

im proud of phelps for hittin that shit, he did nothing wrong, so what he had a bong, lots of people do, he shouldnt be ashamed of smoking pot, he should help in the fight for decriminalization!! its not right for him to ahve to stop using weed, its not like its affecting him in the olympics anyways, its not performance inhancing, he jsut likes to relax fter a hard day of training

[drugsarebad90]

Dont be ashamed of yourself Phelps! you did nothing wrong!

[swimmer4ever200687]

no he did , you or me could make that thing and no body will care , but when millions around the world is making what exactly he make , tshirt , swimsuit even style . so he cant make somthing like that coz the first thing anybody will say on the next time he smoke this shit "phelps 8 gold medalist did it "

[CRASDFGH]

idek wtf you just said...but if you are saying he did something wrong then you can fuck off...

its a bong with some weed in it

Lots of people smoke it...some people it helps with appetite and some with pain...it relaxes others but for most its just a fucking plant that makes everything seem less shitty and maybe lets some people chill and have some fun

[crichey56]

i like this

[drugsarebad90]

were you having muscle spasms when you wrote this? because weed is a medicine which can help with that

[AwalkingModification]

i fucking know right!

its just a fucking kind plant with flower

[andyforever12]

Son:mommy michael phelps smoked pot. can i smoke pot too?

Mom: son Win 8 gold Olympic medals, become an American hero and you can do what ever the fuck you want!

[mashpatato12]

hahahaha

[elliotness2]

take a good hit man.

[b1ink90]

honestly just leave him alone about it.. he wont olympic medals and after working hard he just wants to have some funn =]

[hayd03100130]

wow I love how ppl are all YAY michael phelps is my hero i love him blah blah, and as soon as something like this arises some ppl just rip on him [pardon the pun :) ] he has done so much good representing america, you ppl should be so happy for him! cut him a break, its not illegal to have a picture with a bong

[LostShard]

Olympian or not its not like his actions hurt anyone. Marijuana did not give him an unfair advantage in earning his medals unlike those people who used steroids. People may argue he is a role model to others and that is how he is harming them. True... he is a role model but no one is perfect or shares all of your views so every role model is potentially harmful. So get off your high horses and remember he is human.

[s2trmack]

Smoking pot is like painting a house. You have to have your house in order before you even attempt to decorate the shit. I'd say 8 gold medals in one olympics season pretty much sets the foundation for him to be able to do whatever the hell he wants. Speedo needs him to sell their products more than he needs their endorsement. A boycott of a product has more of an effect on the outcome than stay at home moms do crying for his head.

[ZoomBFX]

I have gotten 20 messages over this.

You pot smokers can just fuck off.

Keep on smoking till you kill enough brain cells. I just made a comment good grief.

[Deth420]

even if they prove'd he was takin a bong toke the fed's cant do anything about it....u can even be high in public an the cops cant do a damn thing...its possession that gets u in trouble..lolololol@ trying to say the charges where dropped..their just tryin to make the new's by sayin he can get fucked over...p.s who need's braincells?

[MrMoraeulf]

actually, certain cannabinoids in marijuana help repair brain cells and protect against alzheimer's. Marijuana also dilates the bronchials, allowing Asthmatics to breathe thus preventing asthma attacks. The list of health benefits of marijuana go on and on, however the only detrimental health concern regarding Marijuana is the tar that enters the lungs, but this can be avoided by using a vaporizer.

[whatisfloyd]

Yes, vaporizers FTW.

true, i know that there has been at least one study that showed that marijuana helps prevent dementia in senior citizens and i know i couple people who were helped greatly by it when they had cancer. one guy always wanted to throw up after eating when he was receiving chemotherapy...so he started smoking it illegally everyday and believes it might've saved his life.

[ZoomBFX]

He got away withh it because hes Michael Phelps.

Isn't great when our famous, you dont have to worry abut much.

Dont believe?, Take a look at Jamie lynn spears, how come her boyfriend is not in jail?

[twenty5staples]

he got away with it due to a lack of evidence. The pic doesnt even have any smoke. He never admitted to it. It is not illegal to own or hold a water bong. Tens of thousands of Americans smoke weed every day and get away with it. The only reason this issue arose is b/c he is M. Phelps. We dont hear about everyone else not getting arrested. Get over it, his DUI was much worse than this and that blew over quickly. Why the big deal for this. Its not like weed is a performance enhancer of something.

[ZoomBFX]

Phelps did admit it you dummy. I agree though that pot should be legalized, but im just calling it like it is when famous people get in trouble.

[cg66079]

He never admitted to smoking pot, at least not a court admissible admittion of guilt. He apologized for his "inappropriate behavior". We all know what that means, but as far as charges goes, it can't be assumed.

Also, it is not illegal to have smoked weed. It is not illegal to have THC in your system, unless you are driving. It is illegal to posses marijuana that is it and they had no physical evidence to charge him with possession. He didn't just "get away with it" because he is a celebrity.

[twenty5staples]

Please be informed before u comment. Do u really think his overpaid lawyers would allow him to admit to a crime. Pay attention to the wording. Phelp's apology read;, I engaged in behaviour which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. Im 23 years old and despite the successes Ive had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.

[robertoi945]

he is a dumbass... thats all i have to say....

[hayd03100130]

why?

[robertoi945]

b/c he knows that he is famous and he knows that everywhere he goes ppl r going to know who he is and by doing these kinds of things u bet that someone is going to catch him...

[Skurgefaust]

apparently they aren't able to drug test him , wow thats good really but the reason they haven't drug test him is curious that's what they do to normal people

[B4TT3RY]

no they dont

[largegrainsofsalt]

thats not how its done, they cant drug test you untill your've been convicted and are on probation or parrol. the only time they can test you is if you've comitted a certain vehicular crime they can test for alcohol or drugs.

[twenty5staples]

they dont drug test people for their first drug related arrest. Even if they did, they would have to pull hair and pay an expensive lab to analyze it. Anyone can pass a piss test for weed in a couple of days with nothing but water or cran juice.

[tma1982]

So what if he smoked?? Bong is not harmful and should be dicriminalized

[Roonskii]

This is just another example of how we treat heros in this country. Thank god he wasn't with a white women.

Many have said worse about gold medal winners.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Only morons use unhealthy substances and Olympians. There are many smarter young people competing for that position. I don't care about the law, but I just know he doesn't deserve to be up there. Strictly speaking, all stimulants are anti-personal. This shows that the the whole system that endorses mediocre kids is corrupt, down to the coaches, teams and competitions and sponsors. It is fake

[eriklares90]

well, he knows he screwed up, and he earned his medals, it's not like he was using performance enhancing drugs or anything, it was just marijuana.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Since it is better to be sober and do your best as you are, the fact that an Olympian touches any intoxicant proves he is a pathetic and sorry personality. And when people like eriklares90 defend the system that has forgiven an infact inappropriate deed, which it is by the code of Olympics and sports, you show the central aspect of mediocracy, the hatred for those who are not mediocre. Your world is hypocritical

[MacintechStudios]

Marijuana isn't unhealthy teemuruskeepaa. If he had been smoking a cigarette no one would have made a big deal out of it and yet a cigarette is far more harmful to a swimmer.

[Landrew120880]

Exactly. This is total bullshit. Everyone understands how much worse alchohol is and how it effects families, drunk drivers, etc.

[teemuruskeepaa]

Marijuana is not unhealthy but it not as healthy as doing without. When we talk about Olympians, hey what is the problem?!

[hayd03100130]

he deserves his medals, he worked his ass of for them, and smoking weed is not that bad for you, well if you dont believe me look at phelps! hah, you ppl just dont get it.. IT DOESNT ENHANCE YOUR PERFORMANCE

[poweraxe666]

fuck yeah who cares if he smokes weed. he should be awarded a pass to smoke all the weed he wants at all hours of the day wherever he wants. people are stupid.

[eriklares90]

real question is, would you want a person with such a large lung capacity taking a hit from your pipe? puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.......

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuufffff.

[poweraxe666]

under normal circumstances, no... but i'd be so down to pack that fool a gram bowl and watch him snap it straight through. it'd be an honor.

[ThinkingLeft]

5 bucks says he's doing it now

[iAlwaysWIn08]

10 bucks says y'all crackheads!!!
