By now, you’ve probably seen the picture of Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps allegedly smoking pot, marijuana, grass, weed, whatever you want to call it, from a bong. He’s been suspended by USA Swimming for three months because of it. But did you know there are several Michael Phelps bong videos that go along with this story? And, several condone the legalization of marijuana.
I want to point out before you read too much, this entry and many of these Michael Phelps bong videos are not suitable for kids. But they do show that the Olympic athlete is getting lots of support from high places. The videos also illustrate that some people have wayyyy too much time on their hands…dude.
For example – this guy’s Michael Phelp’s pot video on youtube is simple, but funny. His “Michael Pothead” video shows a Michael – who apparently has had a few attacks of the munchies — lighting up on the medal stand.
In another Michael Phelps bong video, a girl pretends to eat Michael Phelps cereal and says there’s something different about it. Snap, crackle, pot.
One of the things a statement by USA Swimming said about the suspension of Michael Phelps, was that he didn’t violate anti-doping rules, but they wanted to “send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero.”
In this Michael Phelp’s bong video, a man insists Phelps is still a hero, in fact – “even more of a hero, that he can blaze, and do all that.”
Finally, in one Michael Phelp’s bong video, one guy (who likes the F word by the way) says he’s angry that Phelps didn’t stand up for himself and just say, I work hard most of the year, I was just unwinding. This Michael Phelps bong video actually sums up what many had to say online. The guy rages against the “war on drugs” saying it’s based on lies — “it is a lie, saying that smoking dope will ruin your life, winners don’t use drugs, it’s an obvious lie.”
On a serious note, Michael Phelps bong videos could just be a new way of discussing U-S drug policy as well as the criminalization of marijuana. Who knew there were so many potheads (or non-potheads) with cameras out there who would race to Phelps’ defense faster than he can butterfly?
Personally, I don’t smoke. But I must say, all these Michael Phelps bong videos did make me hungry for some nachos.
