Michael Phelps does weed, and apparently it hasn't affected his lungs with winning all 14 Olympic medals, am I right? :o

Discuss.

I hate this stupid gossip crap, who cares.

It is not gossip, it is a true story ..

It's gossip, you are talking about some stupid arbitrary celebrity behind their back. It does not relate to you, nor anyone one this forum. Gossip does not have to be false, it's true gossip, I still don't give a crap.

I smoke weed, and I still run a hella lot and a hella long.
Only when I smoke blacks is when I feel slow.

I agree, I smoke weed sometimes (When im out doing stuff with friends sometimes) and I dont ever experience any shortness of breath or anything.

I dont find weed to be harmful in the least bit.

From: Brain
who cares.

See above.

Yeah, its kinda ironic… but then again he probably doesnt do it enough for it to affect him. Obviously lol. Mmmm weeeed :sasmokin:

I thought it was widely known that cannabis is the best medicine. Apparently you were surprised. Tobacco kills your lungs because of the massive quantities. Weed is never smoked as much, so there is less lung-killer-smoke-effect.

…If you smoke weed as much as people smoke tobacco…lucky.

You would be Bebe?

That's surprising actually… Maybe I'll start doing it

Dont let these conversations influence your decisions.

Smoke weed everyday.

Been tellin people this for years. My lungs arent bad just from smokin. They are bad from smoking and bein lazy. As long as you keep up with yourself you should be fine. I started back workin out and can tell the difference already.

Hmm. More like win 14 olympic medals, do marijuana? As he's already won them..

And who cares? Loads of people smoke it, but when a guy that just happened to win 14 medals does it's so horrible and blablabla.. Plus it's not bad for your health, but it's not good either (inhaling any smoke will do some dmg, you just can't smoke it as much as tobacco).

Wouldn't recommend it as atleast 75% of the people that say they smoke weed on the internet actually haven't even tried etc..

And that goes for alcohol, drugs, sleep time, other stuff…

:) I was jk. I'm not actually going to start smoking weed just cause he and some other people do. I sohulda put a smiley after that or something.

He has a freggin sweet bong. lol

There's a lot of ignorance in today's world because the term 'Smoking is bad' refers to smoking tobacco which is the most common and a large contributor of cancer, the misconception is Marijuana or Weed (same thing) is bad for you because it's 'Smoking' when infact the THC contained in weed kills cancer and doesn't initially cause cancer either. The entire purpose of smoking weed is to get the most THC as possible however there are many other ways of getting the THC such as baking cookies or brownies or drinking marijuana tea avoid the carcinogenicity of smoke all together. There has never been a single case of cancer attributed to marijuana usage ever. Micheal Phelps is smoking out of a Bong which pulls the air through the water filtering out some THC and a lot of the water soluble carcinogenics. And to be honest whoever said inhaling any smoke does damage you're really over looking the fact that you live in a world where you breath in or eat more carcinogens daily from burned food or pollutants or artificial smells and sent a hundred fold more daily than typical weed usage. Not to even mention there is absolutly no physical addiction that can be developed for weed, if you think about Alcohol and all other drugs are 100xs worse in comparison.

If you smoke hydroponically grown weed out of a bong there are absolutely no health effects or risks.

The only creditable arguments I have consider involve the High-ness affect from THC which alters your natural perception, but that isn't a health risk at all more a less just a moral faulity.

Haha, yeah…

I somehow doubt Michael Felps the tweaker-junkie would be even less demonized haha :p

Regardless of reason or side-effects, I still think smoking weed is stupid as hell. You have documented slower perception for a week. So just once a week, and your ability to learn stuff is on a constant low.

I haven't ever tried it, nor do I plan to. Nor would I suggest anyone to.

Thats really inaccurate, your ability to precept certain things may be lower for 2 or 3 days (and its a really small difference… if any) but your happiness increases, anxiety lows, patience increases, stress lowers, perception on a lot of things increases, creativity increases, and your overall perception of life improves.

And it doesn't really do anything you just said it does at all, especially after a day… I'm not saying you should do it because thats a personal thing but that's a really exaggerated interpretation of weed you have.

Not to mention that if it was legal, there would be sooo many less police money and lives at risk each day with raids of people just buying some buds.

Guess thats a +1 for DARE…

In other news… LOL

Believe it or not Harry, weed being illegal isn't that bad of a thing, sure it may be 'illegal' but everyone still smokes. The governments job is to keep things under control and to keep things from getting out of hand without being complete slave drivers and I for one think they have done a good job of that.

Just don't get caught :sasmokin:

marijuana should be legal. phelps is a beast haha

all he had to say was sorry and hes off the hook and a bit of penalty here and there…
really gay… he should get kicked out , He is so many people's ROMODEL.

Perhaps you'd like to tell us how smoking weed makes you a bad person? I don't consider him a bad role model (romodel?) because of it. :)

THC isn't water soluble.

From: [-jesus-]
THC isn't water soluble.

No but you don't absorb as much as you could for the amount of weed you use as compared to pipe, vaporizer, or blunt/joint, however it does allow you to smoke more and easier giving you more total THC… the THC itself is not 'dissolved' into the water but merely 'removed' from the smoke you ultimately breath in.. I never said THC was water soluble anywhere ever, and actually btw the overdose ratio for THC is somewhere around 150 pounds of weed (@ 15% THC concentration of weed 5%-30%) smoked within 15 minutes. The small amount of THC being removed during the bong process was just a simple way of me saying although using a bong filters out a lot of bad things it lowers the amount of THC you get thus meaning you have to use more weed.

It's a hard concept but you'll get it if you think about it long enough.

If you're refereeing to the Pot Tea thing then you are mistaken, THC doesn't need to be water soluble to make tea out of it. Trust me, google it, pot tea is real and it works.

Actually, if THC was water soluble bongs would not work.

I laugh over teenagers discussing whether there are any long term effects of smoking weed.

Try knowing someone for 20+ years. From when they start smoking. And see how they are at the end of those 20 years smoking pot on a regular basis. Or as much as an average addict.

You guys are complete tools if you think marajuana does not fuck you.

And this is coming from someone who has on many an occasion smoked a joint etc. Im just saying. Regular use WILL fuck you. I dont care what study you bring up, or how you are cross country champion at your school. It will fuck you.

Agreed, some of my Uncle's Friends are/were big time and long time pot smokers. They are fucked up, even my Uncle doesn't know why he still knows them or why they aren't dead yet. I don't know how everyone says it is not addictive (prepares for flame). The "studies" say that it isn't…physically, but I think it is mentally in some point. It makes you feel more relaxed, you want to keep feeling more relaxed, you keep smoking. It perpetuates itself.

That's all bullshit, or probably because of smoking a fuck load of swhag every fucking day. Do your research, THC is not bad for you it's the smoke from burning things that is and you can avoid all the negative effects through moderation and methods, don't go spreading this ignorance please there's already more than enough to go around.

@bolded, How? you haven't even explained your theory on that… or even offered any credible knowledge or scenario other than the worst if even real at all and applying to everything out of pure opinion.

The fact of the matter is, Weed is not to blame its the ignorance and abuse of its user.

There's is such thing as responsible smoking, and a lot of ANYTHING will "Fuck' you.

From: IceFire908

we should do cyanide in moderation, after all, it only fucks you if you do "a lot" of it.

i love how "a lot" isnt defined.


you can die by drinking a bathtub full of water, or eating three tablespoons of salt.

the problem with weed is that it fucks you even if you dont drink a bathtub or three tablespoons. It gets started if you only drink a glass or a few grains.

There are no advantages of cyanide…

That's a terrible comparison blown completely out of proportion, I hope you realize that occasionally (twice a week or less) smoking hydroponically grown weed (15-30% THC) (.5-.25 grams or less) out of a bong and smoking like 2 grams or more of shawg out of a pipe (5-7% THC) (shitty weed grown in the ground) (every day. every other day, 5 + a week) for 20 years is a just as large of a difference as a few glasses compared to 15 or 30 gallons or worse. And I can't tell if you're trying to say weed is addicting or not because your comparison is broad, lacks research, or coherence with actual or realistic information.

Sorry Yakman but I know you're smarter than this and it disappoints me to hear you repeat 'common' information simply because other people believe it (as advised not to in your argument against religion) rather than logical or factual intelligence and or research, but moreso biased opinion.

Did you read my whole post? Did you even read the post below mine?

How many years have you been smoking weed? Correct me if im wrong, but i dont think you would be old enough to know anyone for say even 10+ years that has smoked their weed for those 10 years.

Im saying i dont need fucking research. I have seen FIRST HAND what it does. Where is your first hand experience other then giggling over a few joints with your mates.

Yes I did and you would know that I did if you read all of mine, so did you read my whole post?

Because I'm pretty sure you (or whoever) smoke(d) way more than I described, and you would know my argument wasn't like (screw your experience, research) it was more like (your experience isn't coherent with moderation levels than with good usage levels)

I'm pretty sure me, Micheal Phelps, and half of everyone who smokes weed uses different methods, weed, and moderation than you. Which makes all the difference, and we which leads me back to the point that weed does not fuck you, you fucks you for not using the correct methods, type, or moderations.

To be more clear my point is your first hand experience only applies to people who smoke a lot especially over the period of a long time as compared to people who use it occasionally as recreational fun (read my other post for details on that)

Weed is bad for you and will weaken your immunity system and kill all your brain cells, good luck quitting it. :rolleyes:
