News that has astonished the world, Michael Phelps has been caught on film smoking marijuana from a bong.

BIG DEAL!

Who cares if this guy smokes marijuana, he is one of the best athletes of all time. So what if he smokes a little devils lettuce, who cares if he tokes on some green. Michael Phelps is one of the best swimmers to ever do what he does best on a world scale.

Marijuana is not a performance enhancing drug, if anything some of the swimmers from the 2008 games might have wished he had smoked a reefer or two before some of the races, maybe it would have slowed him down some.

Why does the whole world go into a frenzy when someone that is a role model to kids and adults alike gets caught doing something the rest of the world has either done or is currently doing? He is a human being… He is allowed to be like the rest of us.

Have you ever heard of Ice Cube? Anyone heard about that Eminem guy? They smoke marijuana and glorify it in their music, guess what, little kids look up to them too.

I am not condoning this sort of behaviour but I am condoning the fact that the world needs to let these high profile be who they want to be.

I mean hey, if marijuana can give you a body like this and get you a swag of gold medals and world records, then pass me the bong, who got da lighter?
