speaking of herb, in the news all day today (local tv news on all 4 channels), was this: Exclusive: Michael Phelps Caught Smoking a Bong http://www.starmagazine.com/michael_phelps_bong_weed_drugs/news/15177 more: http://blogs.usatoday.com/gameon/2009/02/are-you-worried.html http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/2009-02-02-phelps-apology_N.htm?loc=interstitialskip http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/02/phelps-pot-smok.html  ETA: the good thing is its been made clear (for now anyway) that none of his sponsors are dropping him, so in a sense that translates into making weed more socially acceptable, or at least less looked down upon. at the same time of course, phelps has (had) to play it like smokin weed was a bad thing he did and doesnt do anymore, which i dont think is his honest stance on the issue. so its a compromise between corporate america and "family values" (i.e. religious right) and the undeniable reality that even weed smokers can be successful athletes (and students as is phelps). still - at the end of the day i think its a good thing where weed and dis-spelling the social stigma and propaganda-fueled fear of potheads is concerned.
