While I wholeheardetdly agree with Subway's decision to drop him as a spokesman, his drug use concerns me. He says he only smokes marijuana; in truth, he's probably injecting it by now. I'd sure hate to see him go to Hell on the slippery slope of cannabis.

Re: Pray for Michael Phelps
Sorry, I was directed to this thread as it made it's rounds on the internet. I am not a troll, and I do not intend to start any argument.
I just want to say that I am a Christian and praying for Michael Phelps. However, you can not inject Marijuana, it is a non-addicting substance and has been it's effects as a gateway drug has been disproved in every scientific study conducted over the last decade. However, marijuana has been proven to been less addictive then nicotine, the active stimulant in your morning coffee.
Although Michael Phelps has done something immoral in the eyes of Americans, no deaths have ever been attributed to direct Marijuana use. This compared to 100,000 American deaths attributed to alcohol each year, and 440,000 deaths attributed to cigarette use per annum. THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) has actually recently been proven to fight cancer cells and has anti-tumor properties. I suggest if you intend to pray for a marijuana user, you pray for each individual person addicted to coffee, tobacco, or alcohol as well. Also, tylenol has been attributed to liver failure, and can account to up to 450 deaths per year.
This is in stark contrast to the zero people who have ever died via marijuana use. I encourage and even challenge you all to look up the statistics and information yourself.
I'm not saying what he did was right or even moral, I'm just saying that marijuana use isn't necessarily as bad as was believed in the days of "Reefer Madness".

Just because drug "A" is more or less harmful than drug "B", that doesn't mean you should endorse illegal drug use.

Re: Pray for Michael Phelps
The illicit drug trade is riddled with lies, deceit, thievery and murder, regardless the chemical makeup of the drug in question. Michael Phelps risks everything he has including his life when he associates with known drug dealers.
