first off why is he a role model because he can swim?and second no one has complained that he has been partying his ass off in Vegas and getting drunk. i guess hitting on cocktail waitresses and getting drunk is a good role model these days?

To claim legal vs illegal and then lump pot in with Heroin is pretty silly.

Perhaps if we're really concerned about the messages we send to our kids, we should really think about what's important. Alcohol is a much more destructive drug than pot, which just about everybody has smoked at one time or another.

RR did, and you agreed.

And if you've done your drinking, then I hate to say that you're far from drug free!

Keep fooling yourself BigHYPOCRITEFish.

And a lot of people, myself included, think the gateway drug theory is a bunch of rubbish. By that logic how many people tried booze before they smoke dope? 99%?

By that reasoning we should all be heroin addicts.

Alcohol is the gateway drug.......all the things I did while influenced by alcohol compared to weed, No contest. And I never smoked weed until someone got me to drink.

Numerous studies have show this to be completely false. Nothing more than government propaganda and mis-information created by a government on a failed War on Drugs campaign. (My favorite has always been "Smoking one marijuana joint is the same as smoking 10 cigarettes." Really, how?)

I don't know anyone that "started with heroin" but I do know of quite a few that started with either coke, meth or crack.

BigFish, while I admire your straightedgedness... I'd be willing to put money down that you are in the minority - in terms of people that have/have not tried.
