Kelloggs was one thing, they're a private company and can do what they want with their spokespeople. Granted 90% of the people over 12 that eat pop-tarts and cheeze-its are stoners, but that's beside the point. Now I read that the 2012 olympic committee is banning Phelps from participating. What was once a respectable competition is quickly turning itself itself into a shameful masquerade by choosing to stand with petty, partisan ideology. I think Phelps serves as a symbol, forcing the the system to confront its anachronistic perspective on what is acceptable and what is intolerable. He will no doubt go down in history as one of the greatest athletes of this generation, and his controversy only catalyzes his fame.
It's obvious the olympic committee is attempting to curb the influence this may have had on our youth, that pot isn't outwright evil but may reside in shades more gray. Well, to clean the pond, first the shit must rise to the surface. Let their obsolete judgments on the plant reveal their unfounded absolutism over recreational substances as an impediment on the progress of mankind. I think their rash, immature behavior over this issue will only cause a deeper stigma against them, and perhaps even lighten the burden on pot.
I personally don't see weed as a positive endeavor for habitual usage. However, I think it's a marvelous gateway toward hallucinogenic exploration, which I highly recommend.
