OK, OK. We all know Michael Phelps was caught smoking weed. We all know weed is illegal, yada, yada, yada, he shouldn’t be doing it. But there’s no need to make a big fuss out of it. What is the real matter here?

Perhaps it’s that people should not question if smoking it is so dangerous. Well, no need to worry, cause nearly half America already knows it. Almost 40% of americans, including some presidents, have tried Marijuana. Only 1 american has won 8 Olympic Gold Medals.
