My advice holds true, not to smoke marijuana solely because it makes you dull and slows you down. Life should be better than that.

Like I said, tell that to Louis Armstrong and Michael Phelps. If that person hadn't snapped that candid pic of Phelps smoking pot, YOU would never in a million years think that Phelps' life reflected that of someone "dull" and slowed-down. A dull, slowed-down person doesn't win 22 Olympic medals. So either you're badly mistaken, or Phelps was smoking parsley instead of pot.

I kinda think it's the former rather than the latter. Just a hunch.

Did Phelps state he was a long-time pot smoker? I figured he smoked just here and there to slow himself down, because there was no s-l-o-w in his life. Swim, swim, swim, practice, swim. He also ate an enormous amount of junk food. If he would have taken better care of himself (however, I realize that much good food would have cost a fortune), and not put any smoke into his lungs, he might even have more Olympic medals.
