What Phelps did was no worse than having a beer or lighting up a cigarette. It's a sign that we are still a long way off from solving this problem when people over react to someone smoking a little pot.

The funny thing about this story is that is says more about pot than it does Phelps. Everyone wants to talk about what Phelps did wrong. No one is mentioning that if you can smoke pot, and still be an elite athelete, maybe we overestimate the effects of pot.

That's because it is illegal. When you group something harmless like pot with the hard drugs and make no distinction between them, it becomes a gateway.
Most people who are into heavy drugs also smoke cigarettes, usually people start smoking those before they try pot. So why aren't cigarettes considered a gateway drug?
The reason pot is illegal has absolutely nothing to do with it's effects. There is not one single case of anyone dying from an overdose of pot, none. It's far less damaging on the human body than alcohol. It also has proven medical benefits and we've just scratched the surface of what it can do.
The reason it's illegal is pure politics. Some racist preacher who was well connected in Washington led a campaign to ban it because he was afraid the evil Jamaicans and Mexicans would seduce white women with it. The marijuana tax act was passed, but was ruled unconstitutional. Instead of correcting the mistake, it was grouped with the harshest drugs in existence and banned by the federal government.
Hundreds of thousands of people are arrested for pot every year. It costs an enormous amount of tax payer money to keep marijuana illegal not to mention the lives it's ruined by locking people up for it.
