Who else here thinks if perhaps Larry tried one of them thar spleefs maybe he would not be such a deek..
Nothing personal BF but I think sometimes you could use to relax a little..
If you think there is some major difference between pot and alchohol.You really need to open your eyes..
BTW don't go over the speed limit..Thats against the law also..

There is a major difference...one is legal and one is not. I am very relaxed right now. You folks can skew the facts and twist the english language however you want to make you sleep better at night.....but drugs and alcohol are different animals. Maybe when I talk about drugs I am not so much talking about pot but mostly Coke, Heroin, Crack.....all the real nasty stuff. Yeah....alcohol is every bit as addictive as anything else can can do alot more damage.....thats a fact.

Do I think Phelps should be punished? No I do not. He is a young man, 22, with the same choices to make we all had and in life and folks have to find their own way. Bad choice? Yup! However just because of his fame people should not think that he should have to live his life any differently than anyone else does. Its his life and his alone. I say a picture these days is not great evidence and he could simply have denied it and moved on but he did not....he owned up to it and for that I say he is showing youth that mistakes are made and you and you alone have to be accountable for your actions.

what's Ironic about the 1937 tax law was:

that a tax was to be levied on the product
and to show that the tax had been paid
it was to receive a stamp showing that it was.

the Ironic thing was that the stamps were never made.

so you have a law that was passed and never used
to tax a product in the last 72 years...

funny reading that stuff about how the white chicks
were seduced by the Jaz & weed to go for the darkies

that guy had no interracial issues ....whatsoever

Alcohol is a Drug

by David J. Hanson, Ph.D.
Beverage alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a drug. But exactly what is a drug?
A drug is simply “Any substance which when absorbed into a living organism may modify one or more of its functions.” 1
In reality, "any substance that by its chemical nature alters structure or function in the living organism is a drug. . . .

[Raven]

For example, back in 1938, the Virginia legislature asked two University of Virginia pharmacology professors to review the research evidence and produce an overview report on alcohol's affects on the human body. The legislature had hoped to demonstrate the need for the state's public schools to teach that alcohol is a poison and that its use is harmful behavior to be avoided.


"When news leaked that the two scientists' report contained language to the effect that moderate drinking was unharmful, temperance organizations in the state immediately rallied and deluged the legislature and the governor's office with cries of objection." 1 The legislature then voted to have the report, all one-thousand copies, burned --- unread!

i have an older Brother named Jimmy too

a perfect clone of your brother in many aspects...

i expect to hear of a similar list of related illness(s)
due to his alcohol and tobacco habits (the legal drugs)

he was the kid who figured out how to cut cigarette pack
sized blocks of wood to substitute for packs of cigs
in the rack my dad had hanging on the wall for his
carton of Winston's.

As if getting caught with a bong wasn't enough, he now has been caught gambling, too.

February 10, 2009 --

MICHAEL Phelps wins no gold medals for party games. At the same South Carolina house party where he was snapped s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g on a bong, the Olympics hero lost a pile of money betting in a high-stakes session of the drinking game beer pong, in which players wing pingpong balls into plastic cups. "I saw Phelps pull out a roll, a bank-wrapped $2,000. He said, 'I'll match the $2,000,' " onlooker Michael Whitworth told the State newspaper. "Good ol' Phelpsie lost it, too."

ban cigarette smoking inside of every public building, and more recently most public places like parks, but we make marijuana smoking and possession legal. You can get in more trouble for lighting a cuban cigar up in Morton's in Boston than you could if you smoked a bone on the sidewalk out front.
