Relaxing marijuana laws won't help lift our nation out of it's current lameness, but if people want to smoke the cheebah, let's remember that even Sgt. Joe Friday from 'Dragnet' told those psychadelic hippies wearing rose-lensed granny glasses that they were obligated to obey the law until they changed the law regarding dangerous and illegal marihuana.

Well, now the laws regarding pot are changing.

No matter how many anecdotal accounts I hear from stoners about how they all know some hyper-achieving pot smoker -- and gosh, don't they all have a friend like that -- I still think that marijuana use turns you into a lame-ass.

Hell, just look at Michael Phelps. He won eight gold medals in the last Olympics, discovered marijuana, and now he's rubbish. I won't blame marijuana for his loss, but I bet there were plenty of times that he could have been training in the pool but he decided to get high instead.

Phelps did his part in the relay last night. Lochte lost it for them.

"I was going to train for another gold, but then I got high.
I was going to do just what my coach told, but then I got high.
Now Subway's going to drop me cold, and I know why.
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high."
