To be fair, from the neck up, these two both look a bit mugshoty

Pot can turn you black?
sprbwlshuffler
That helps explain why Michael Phelps eats so much.
Shineupordown
And doping...on the left at least
momjeans92
I should be a god damned super Olympian if that's the case.
SenorObvious
I figured it out everyone. He turned into a black man.

Sitting on your ass with a bag of cheetos and a joint is different to smoking a bowl to celebrate your gold medal.
AaronPankey
Realistically it's how soon you cut off your cycle while both keeping the maximum amount of benefits and not testing for enhancing drugs.
kidswat
This is like saying you can eat a million calories a day and be an athlete like these guys, too.
FallenPatta
Pot and pharmaceuticals.
KrantNeuf
Did he... Did he became black and lose medals by smocking weed?
LargeHoman
Does becoming black come with the huge penis? Someone wanna sell me some pots?
Pagliacci13
Less pixels? or is that just my screen?
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
That guy has more gold weighing him down than Switzerland after WW2.
TheNortherner
However neither smoked while competing.
WhatsUnderMyKilt
If you smoke weed after training for 16 hours, you have earned every dab.
IHatePuns
Yeah well they didn't make it a part of their identity like so many people seem to want to do today.
binghams
The fact that they smoked pot has nothing to do with this.
binghams
They've taken plenty of shits too, but the fact that they shit isn't being attributed to their success because it has nothing to do with it
lawlphailure
Doing pot somehow = Good work ethic and dedication, training, dieting and health. Southpark put it best. Pot makes you okay with being bored
NothingWeDoMatters
Can someone explain the Michael Phelps weed thing
markskayff
Ja ja, hilarious. Honestly, I don't have the least fu**ing idea.
TheNortherner
I believe he once said he smoket pot to calm down before swimming during the early days of his career.
ElGordoFreeman
And for these 2 winners there are thousands of losers. This try to sell that "you can be them by buying/doing this"
iworkatkuatdriveyards
ayy lmao
ISleptWithSomeoneFromImgurAndAllIGotWasThisStupidUsername
Legalize it so potheads can finally shut the hell up.
kentk94
right? I feel like they're getting as bad as vegans.
papertiger09
Pot didn't do this. Training and hard work did. The point should be that pot didn't stop them from doing this.
Youts
This
Anyswingingdick
I think the point of this post was to be a fucking joke.
terryr
5 million potheads sitting on the sofa, saying; SEEEE?!! I gotta keep using to bring out my potential, man!!
blisfulloblivion
The phrasing suggests something negative but the image is positive making the joke (that doing pot won't ruin your success)
iRahvin
That is the point...
DVSBSTrD
If anything, pot helped.
FallenPatta
Yeah. Because „hard work“ wins you 20+ gold medals against China and Russia. Surely no drugs involved.
MrT800
That IS the point; it mocks the kind of ad that would show a picture of a degenerate criminal junkie saying "Drugs will do this to your kid"
WSilvermane
And this picture says the same. "Do drugs and you can accomplish this." Think about the wording and comparisons before hand.
IronicUsername
I guess it's not worded ideally but I'm pretty sure that's the point. Doubt the author thinks pot is a performance enhancing drug.
CinnabonFury
Maybe in a pie eating contest?
SorDavos
"Marihuana is a performance-enhancing drug that can help you come last in a race of 8 million other runners who are all dead."
C4H10
Smoke some Durban poison and tell me that.

Izzard joke, man. Not mine.

If you're anti pot you better be anti beer, too.

horseguacamole
I'd be fine sans both.
10GREY
A fine stance to take.
horseguacamole
Granted, I like beer, so let's not go that route.
TobascoPanda
Well, pot usually involves smoking. I'm against smoking. But pot brownies? I see those no different as getting smashed on booze.
TobascoPanda
To clarify: no different from a moral standpoint. Obviously the physical effects differ.
10GREY
I can get behind this.
TobascoPanda
That sounded vaguely sexual. Are you high right now?
Sanosky
I care not for either
10GREY
Perfectly reasonable.
TheNortherner
Why should I be against beer if I'm against pot?
10GREY
They're one in the same. Some may argue pot is 100% safer, especially when in public. Stoners don't go to sporting events and fight, etc.
TheNortherner
This isn't to say that beer is without problems but claiming that pot is safer is just not true. 2/2
TheNortherner
They are not the same. And the possible damage to your lounges from smoking is bad. Also pot can trugger underlying psychotic problems 1/2
10GREY
Edibles do nothing to your lungs.
TheNortherner
True, but it will still have the possible effect of triggering a psychotic episode.
Bigballz
I've been smoking a bit of weed lately and my running times got faster lol
tokenhooker
I smoke every day before the gym. Love it.
einahpetslol
I work out harder when I smoke before I go, too.
swaggernautical
Seriously though me too, it makes working out easy for me
DaisyFaye
Yeah, it allows me to ignore the fatigue & boredom that usually determines when I stop... helps with pains the next day, too.
aflarge
Ha, man. Weed is entirely for relaxation, for me. Granted I don't think I've ever tried a Sativa. I need to move to Colorado and grow :(
Mairoa
I live in WA, and the effect of my favorite sativa (strawberry cough) is that I just start cleaning for like an hour and find it entertainin
stealthkat14
oh come on. Phelps is literally a genetic freak, his body holds resilience values not found in humans. his feet are different, and his torso
stealthkat14
looks more like a manta ray than a human chest cavity. he looks designed to swim...
HideyoWifeHideyoKids
Can you elaborate on resilience values?

Garbage article, but thanks for linking it.
stealthkat14
heres a whole article on his genetic abnormalities actually. interesting read. not sure how reliable the source is but whatever
stealthkat14
i read about it once a while back. cant confirm and i dont remember the source. it mentioned something about a combination of abnormal
stealthkat14
joint orientations, particularly in his chest, which allow him to whiplash in a manner similar to a dolphin. flexibility,but with high force
TallLightnHandsome
Pot ... and a ton of training, along with a decent amount of good genetics.
myusernameisntfunny
And time. And a personal trainer.
CocktailGaming
Goku taught me that hard work and determination is enough to beat Gods... with a little bit of good genetics.
dicklashanks

Let's not forget bowl clearing lung capacity.
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
I have good genetics and I had potty training. Where are my medals?
Barkinsons
Both are exceptional athletes that set records early on, so genetics definitely play a role
cinsoniTe
Good genetics? Left one is skinny and has a hammerhead and right one has a forehead as big as the rest of his head.
thecolonels
I think this is simply against the whole "pot ruins lives" train of thought that is very popular.
JSee
Nope. Just pot. That's it. Secret's out.
Ellimem
I think the point is weed in itself isn't hurtful. Lazy fuckers will still be lazy fuckers.
CannedBread1
That's why seth Rogen is the greatest of all athletes

Maybe he's a world class swimmer and he doesn't know it?

And a connective tissue disorder that makes double jointed and extra flexible

I like this comment.

This was my first thought. My second was ped's undetected ped's
fistermatic5000
There's some kind of disease or disorder that Phelps thinks he might have. His physical structure is a sign of it. Martin's disease maybe?
aflarge
Hey, it's every bit as relevant as any negative example.
stja
Well, obviously. I think the point was that marijuana does not harm the user's body despite what scaremongers would want you to believe.
stja
When used responsibly, of course. Everything is harmful when abused, you can die even of water poisoning.

And maybe your friendly neighborhood pharmacologist.

No genetics, just dedication
TallDude
Despite what some folks say, genetics plays a big role. Some people are set up to gain muscle easier and faster. Plus lung size, etc.
Barkinsons
Genetics play a big role, the stature of olympians in the same discipline is more similiar than between siblings
Drougals
Genetics has every thing do to with it. Granted genetics is nothing without dedication but you don't see 5ft 4 male high jumpers
