Apparently he thought he could walk on water as well as swim in it. Now that he has been exposed he has apologized! It's just not clear if the apology is for the smoke or the getting caught!!

And whats wrong with hitting a bong once in a while? He was probably just relieving some stress and I'll bet he didn't inhale.

Ohhhh, I'm pretty sure he inhaled, and then some So what's the current punishment--boiling in oil?! Cripes, he's a kid, he's got a ton of money, instant fame, not exactly the hottest dude on the block--and all of a sudden he's thrust into 'god status'. What did you think he was going to do??!!! I just can't see stoning the guy to death (pardon the pun) over this. It sure as heck wasn't his first time, more than likely not the last. I figure he lived a pretty sheltered life up until now, so go--explore the world!

It will be a good lesson for him. He needs to learn that there is a level of responsibility that comes with fame and power. He can hit the bong, but he needs to do it in his own privacy.
That kid was in a pool so long, he probably forgot what the world looked like. He's still a pup, and will learn as he goes.

I'm sure we could have lots of sides on this one...we see that from the responses already. Very bad for the image...being a doper!
Seriously...If you're gonna get high, marijuana is probably the best for all of society. It does impare your judgement but since it slows everything down, it's potential for bad endings is less than most of the bad things we do to ourselves. I think most people drive slower on pot (if they drive at all) but I doubt many people drive faster after a joint.
Of course I've never personally experienced the effects of pot but the people I grew up with were divided into the different camps like you see in the movie Platoon and I can make some judgements from those experiences.
Unlike some people, I believe Phelps actually admitted the obvious.

This non-issue just went from the ridiculous to the really dumb!! The Sheriff is now investigating whether or not there are grounds to go after Michael! www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/02/03/sheriff.phelps.marijuana/?iref=mpstoryviewOf course, in South Carolina, the only thing they want anybody to smoke is tobacco!! And we all know how good tobacco is for everyone!! The sad thing is that Michael did break a law! The more sad thing is that some jerk made a buck off the picture of a kid doing a dumb thing!! And now there is talk of his losing his endorsements because he was so BAD!!!! And what about all the damn drunken sports people who think nothing of getting in their fancy, oh-so-expensive cars (but hey, what's $110,000 when you're making millions for playing with balls?!) and driving recklously again and again?! How many times did we "forgive" Darryl Strawberry ( unfortunately he is the first of the sports jock jerks that comes to mind) and isn't Football just dying to get back their precious dog-killer? And hey, if you're a famous sportsperson who has cirrhosis of the liver because you wouldn't control your alcoholism and now you need a liver transplant - Hey, No Problem. we'll just bump you to the top of the list because after all, your a baseball Hero and Legend!! One of the worst rehab cases I ever had to work on was a young man who tried to commit suicide after being arrested for smoking a joint. He was the oldest son of a much-decorated Master Sergeant in the US Army. The father disowned this 17 year old boy for "disgracing" the family! (At the time - 16 was the dividing line between juvenile and adult offenders) Day after day we put him through torturous treatments in Physical Therapy - he had tried to hang himself but was cut down in the cell - just in time to "save" his life, as long as a little brain damage doesn't get in the way. We finally got him to the point that he could get around in a wheel chair. And on the day of his discharge from the hospital, some 2 months after being admitted, there waiting for him were not his oh-so-loving family. Oh no, he was taken into the loving arms of the San Antonio, Texas police. At the time, smoking one joint was a major offense there. And the judge wanted to show that even the sons of decorated Sergeant Majors were subject to the LAW!! That boy was sent to prison for a joint!!! Things are out of whack in this country!! Things really, really need to change! If Michael Phelps were just your ordinary college kid, who the heck would have published his picture with the bong? He won Gold Medals! Not Gold Haloes!!! Lady B
