    Wow man. A lot of people fucking care about this. It's a big deal because they're dropping someone for smoking fricken pot! That's why people (me included) are willing to boycott them. Also, getting some dickhead millionaire fired would be fantastic, but I doubt the end result could ever be that satisfying. And you say Kellogs gives food to the needy and underprivileged? Give me a break man, seriously. I few charity walks here and there is hardly feeding the homeless. Making up information on the spot and passing it off as fact can be great fun, but it's a bad habit to develop. People just like you are the reason our government is aloud to do whatever the fuck they please. The "I don't give a fuck" attitude has to go.

    Kelloggs can do whatever they want. They are not a BAD corporation-there are a lot worse. But once they understand that there is a business cost (profits) to their actions the next time this happens maybe business will be more understanding of pot use.

    And once business accepts pot use society and government will not be far behind.

    And yes you can just sit back and do nothing-or you can spend 2 minutes and do something and maybe you won't get arrested or fined for pot use in the future. And maybe you won't be stuck working for a business that drug tests.

    really? so i wonder how many people boycotted the NFL when Ricky Williams was suspended for smoking pot.. and when Ontarrio Smith was caught and suspended for having a Whizzinator... i don't remember anyone on these boards complainin about it

    grow the fuck up... he's a professional and he made a very unprofessional choice.. when you are in the lime light like that, you should know better than to act like just another dumb fuckin jock

    its obvious that kelloggs did think their profits would be affected...the people that would boycott kelloggs for KEEPING phelps on is in my opinion way bigger than the other side..and because i am never wrong lets just leave it at that... ha

    grow the fuck up?

    You argument "i wonder how many people boycotted the NFL when Ricky Williams was suspended..."-did you advocate this? If you didn't then it really doesn't back your argument.

    "he's a professional and he made a very unprofessional choice.. when you are in the lime light like that, you should know better than to act like just another dumb fuckin jock"

    He made an unprofessional choice-he smoked pot-is that an unprofessional choice for you?

    We are arguing that smoking pot should not be an unprofessional choice. Once it is no longer an unprofessional choice then it will no longer be negative in societies eyes which will hopefully lead to it no longer being unlawful.

    if i was in his position... knowing that what i do could get me in some serious shit if people were to know.. or catch on camera.. yea.. i would keep that shit underwraps.. the fact that i love marijuana is one thing.. the fact that it's still illegal.. like it or not.. is another.. he acted with poor judgment plain and simple

    That's a much better argument. I agree with you. And I could really care less about Phelps.

    But I'd like to reach a point where companies, the media, society, and the police do not get excited about people smoking pot. I figure this is one way to reach that point.

    I eat very healthy food-I doubt I really eat anything from Kelloggs.

    yea.. i never eat much kelloggs food.. for one.. i don't have the money to splurge on namebrands.. for 2.. i prefer to not buy namebrands when you can get the exact same thing at half the price with a knockoff brand... only thing i ever bought that was kelloggs was Special K Red Berries.. shit is soooooooo good

    We all know that it's basically harmless and all that shit but at the end of the day it's still illegal. A lot of people still believe that pot is a harmful drug and that is why Kellogs dropped him, they didnt want to possibly lose money because some pothead swimmer got caught with a bong in his face.

    I'm pretty sure Tony the fucking tiger doesn't light up.

    gotta admit it, when i first heard about this i had the idea of boycotting it as well. perhaps then more people would see that pot isnt sucha big deal for people to get fired over. but i totally see ur point and i agree with you.

    as for the rest of the madness....wooaahh. i thought this was a blog for stoners. chilll man. dont take life so seriously all the time.

    If I was him I'd just do an announcement, and be like "Hey, I smoke marijuana, thats my choice, just like it was my choice to win America 14 gold medals, if you don't like it kiss my ass kellogs your cereal sucks ass, and maybe Roor will pick up were you left off anyways you rasclot fucks."
