RESPECT GOES TO POT

I had respect for U.S. Olympic champion Michael Phelps ("Phelps' 
event swims uphill," Feb. 4) for obvious reasons. When I heard Phelps 
smoked cannabis (marijuana) in his private life, I gained more 
respect for him. But when I heard Phelps apologized for using the 
relatively safe, socially acceptable, God-given plant cannabis, I 
lost respect for him.

(Phelps' prospects are a little hazy these days.)
