Phelps and Our Pot Bullshit (and Frosty!)


Via Sully:
A pot-smoker just became the most decorated athlete in Olympic history - proving that the "gateway drug" can indeed be a gateway to greatness (the presidency, for example). But Phelps has had to maintain the public line of shame and embarrassment and anti-marijuana bullshit. I bring this up because a reader just sent the Youtube above to me. It features the man who is such a national treasure in Britain he was the closing act of the Olympics Opening Ceremony. And his responses are so fresh, so real and so true one wonders why more people don't deploy them more often.
Pot's obviously not for everyone, but maybe a good start is to unstuff our prisons from being cages for men guilty of being black.
