Really, it’s no BIG DEAL!

OK, OK. We all know Michael Phelps was caught smoking weed. We all know weed is illegal, yada, yada, yada, he shouldn’t be doing it. But there’s no need to make a big fuss out of it. What is the real matter here?

Perhaps it’s that people should not question if smoking it is so dangerous. Well, no need to worry, cause nearly half America already knows it. Almost 40% of americans, including some presidents, have tried Marijuana. Only 1 american has won 8 Olympic Gold Medals.

So maybe this is the right time to show some real support. Let’s tell the world IT’S OK. Here’s how:

1. Send your contribution (picture, link to video, illustration, etc) to itsokphelps@gmail.com;

2. Remember to put your name, state and country;

3. Write a text up to 140 characters (so we can twit it);

4. Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ItsOKPhelps.
