The sheriff of Richland County may charge Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps if he can find evidence that the swimmer smoked marijuana under his jursdiction. One could see this as a brave stand for law and order, without regard to fame or station. From my perspective, it is just another example of the waste and pointlessness of much of what goes on in the name of the War on Drugs. Asks Bill Anderson, “What is worse, an athlete smoking pot or a sheriff arresting people so he can get publicity?”
