Smoking weed will make you lazy and unmotivated! michel phelps smoked weed and won most number of olympic medals. what's your say doc?

Different strokes: For different folks. There are many successful people who have never used mind altering drugs, and many who have. These are individual decisions which are made every day. Best to weigh risks and benefits before making changes. Doubt that mr. Phelps was smoking anywhere close (physically and temporally) to the olympics.

Understandable: So Phelps briefly succumbed to the pressures of being the most famous swimmer in the world. He publicly regretted his use of the drug. What's your excuse ? It is certainly not pressure from fame. If you want to do the weed thing, go ahead. Excuses aside your life is what you make of it.
