For medicinal purposes, dude!
Cruising across town this afternoon, I was flicking the dial on the radio, when I stumbled across the Tom Leykis talk show on 97.1 FM.
The spirited chat fest was focused on Michael Phelps on the heels of a news flash over the week-end that reported the Gold Medalist was snapped on film smoking the evil weed, Marijuana.
And, not just for medicinal purposes!
Of course, any arguments from Olympic dope-testing officials that a joint or two might enhance sports performance - which could result in a "foul" against the 23 year-old stud - falls on deaf ears in this corner.
For good reason!
Whenever I inhaled a toke in my wild rebellious youth, I usually ended up getting lost in the intricate designs on the carpet.
I guess that's what you'd call a magic carpet ride!
Shortly thereafter, like clockwork, I'd keel over and slip off into a euphoric dream state!
After fielding a few hotly debated issues on air, Leykis uttered the quote of the day.
"When I first caught Phelps being interviewed on a television talk show, I thought he was a dweeb. Now, I realize, he was probably just stoned."
Don't Bogart that joint, eh?
Arnold elucidates effects of the high!
