News of the World

has just posted Michael Phelps smoking marijuana from a bong.

Unfortunately, when you are young and out of control there will always be someone who will not miss a Kodak moment.

Best comment from the Headlines thread comes from JWF, who notes that with Phelps’s massive lung capacity, this could be the most monster bong hit of all time. Did he bogart the whole bowl in one toke?

Someday, marijuana might become a legalized product.

Until then, just don’t do it.
