GEEZ! it’s been how long since he has done this? and still the media is ranting about it? Leave the man alone and worry about larger issues like Obama for instance.

NO, not everyone is so stupid as to do drugs! I’m truly sorry that so many of you are so ignorant of the reality beyond your own experiences! Time to grow up and face reality! Most people are too intelligent to do drugs….ever!!

what the heck…he’s how old… hasn’t everyone tried it? he just had a loser friend that made money off a private moment

Hmmm.I remember a guy named Clinton,He didn’t inhale. Leave the kid alone!!!

why is everone giving him such a hard time!!!! HE WON 8 MEDALS FOR THE USA!!!! and we want to be upset at a little pot smokin?? geeeezzzz give him a break!! There is worst and has been worst!!! do need to start naming names or situations!?

Crucify him!

What is this, a sheriff more useless when it comes to real crime than the N.C. (Duke) District Attorney? Are there no real crimes in that county in S.C. that this guy has nothing to do?
And how about comparing what Phelps did to what some of the gun-toting, girlfriend beating, performance-enhanced professional football/basketball/baseball players get up to? Two of our last 3 presidents have admitted to smoking pot, and George W prob did more serious stuff. I feel sorry for this generation’s lack of personal privacy, and he is a role model, but a little perspective pulleeze!

it isn’t fair that all the other are charged and phelps walks away. he is 23 years old and responsible for his action

Who cares if he took a bong hit.. its from the mother earth.. Bill Clinton smoke pot as well again who cares leave him alone.. dont people have life.. take care of your own.. This is a grown man who knows what he is doing..
