Sherrif wants to charge Michael Phelps
So a sheriff in South Carolina says he is going to charge Michael Phelps on drug charges.
"The bottom line is, if he broke the law, and he did it in Richland County, he's going to be charged,'' Cowan said. "And there's no difference between Michael Phelps and several other people that we arrest for the same type of a charge everyday.'' Under South Carolina law, possession of one ounce or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor that carries a fine up to $200 and 30 days in jail for the first offense. Possession of paraphernalia is a $500 fine. I guess someone should inform this genius that you can't charge someone with possession based on a PICTURE. http://www.comcast.net/articles/spor...lps-Marijuana/ |

The sheriff is an idiot. He needs to spend his time cracking down on the meth heads and labs in his back yard. Not making a name for himself and garnishing 15 min of fame.

I was discussing how other Olympic swimmers must feel after seeing this. They have been training their entire lives just to lose every event to a stoner.....

So taking one hit on a bong makes you a stoner? No way.

Even if you smoke dope on a social basis...let's say once a month at a party...doesn't make you a stoner. I'd even say if you did it every weekend it still doesn't qualify you as a stoner.
ETA: I just don't believe there's any way he could have achieved what he had and been a regular dope smoker. There's just no way. For one thing, it would impair his respiratory system.

You know, over the years I've learned that a lot of people do things they just shouldn't do considering their circumstances, and yet they do them anyway...and get away with it, and it harms no one. It's amazing how many people do 'illegal' stuff, even when they hold positions of faith within the community.
I realize you were joking btw ph. It would have been funny live.

It would be hard to prove otherwise in a court. One picture does not make a stoner. A half-assed lawyer would get the whole thing dismissed before it made it to the bench. JMHO.
