"I want to reassure our business community that our government remains fully committed to supporting the well-established commercial ties between Canada and India," Mary Ng, the minister of export promotion, international trade and economic development, said in a statement. India on Monday expelled six Canadian diplomats and withdrew its High Commissioner and five other diplomats from Ottawa. Canada, however, claimed that the Indian diplomats were expelled. Ng also said that "the Government of Canada remains open to a dialogue with India and we look forward to continuing our valued relationship." "Our Trade Commissioner Service will continue to assist and provide resources to Canadian companies operating in India," she said as India in an unprecedented step not only recalled its high commissioner from Ottawa but also expelled six of the Canadian diplomats from New Delhi. "Let me be clear: Canada stands firmly by its businesses. We will work closely with all Canadian enterprises engaged with India to ensure these important economic connections remain strong," she said. "However, we must consider our economic interests with the need to protect Canadians and uphold the rule of law. We will not tolerate any foreign government threatening, extorting, or harming Canadian citizens on our soil. We urge the government of India to respect the same principles of law and justice that guide our actions," Ng said. "The Government of Canada remains open to a dialogue with India and we look forward to continuing our valued relationship," said the minister. The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau's allegations in September last year of the "potential" involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Nijjar. New Delhi rejected Trudeau's charges as "absurd". As the ties between the two countries hit rock bottom, Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly did not rule out imposing sanctions against India saying "everything is on the table". On its part, India strongly rejected attempts by Canadian authorities to link Indian agents with criminal gangs in Canada with official sources even saying that Ottawa's assertion that it shared evidence with New Delhi in the Nijjar case was simply not true. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, Canada and India achieved a bilateral trade relationship that reached $8.27 billion in FY23 and $5.3 billion during April-November 2023. In 2022, India was Canada's ninth-largest merchandise trading partner in the Indo-Pacific region, the 13th-largest merchandise trading partner globally and the 14th-largest destination for merchandise exports. As of September 2023, Canada was ranked as the 17th largest foreign investor in India, having made cumulative investments amounting to $3.6 billion since April 2000. Canadian investments constitute approximately 0.56% of the total foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow into India. More than 600 Canadian companies and organizations have established a presence in India. The bilateral commercial relationships between the two countries stand at $100 billion, which includes $70 billion of Canadian portfolio investment into India. In 2020, Canadian direct investment in India amounted to $2 billion. Canadian portfolio investment in India is estimated to have grown more than 50% over the past five years, reaching about $27 billion. With inputs from PTI.

"Never."Though he's still young, Murray has quite a stacked resume from various levels of football. His Allen High School squad won three consecutive Texas state championships. And Murray — who was named Gatorade Football Player of the Year during his senior season — boasted a perfect 42-0 record as a starter for the Eagles.<div type="image" title="kyler murray oklahoma.JPG" height="1632" width="2176" msid="79250811" hostid="261"></div>Murray moved on to back up now-Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen at Texas A&amp;M before transferring to Oklahoma, where he backed up Sooners legend Baker Mayfield. When he finally earned a starting nod from Lincoln Riley, Murray took full advantage of the opportunity, throwing for 4,361 yards and 42 touchdowns on the season. He earned the Heisman Trophy that season after leading Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff.But of all the incredible moments of his illustrious career, Murray insists that Sunday's bomb to Hopkins takes the cake.<div type="image" title="Kyler Murray" height="1926" width="2569" msid="79250818" hostid="261"></div>"Well, in high school, we had a lot of moments.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The US Commerce Department recommended a doubling of tariffs on Canadian softwood <keyword id="1592301" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="lumber">lumber</keyword> last Friday.</li><li>The move comes despite <keyword id="10881461" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="lumber-prices">lumber prices</keyword> being up more than 275% since April of last year.</li><li>"The White House does not care about the plight of American home buyers and renters," National Association of Home Builders chairman Chuck Fowke said.</li></ul>The US Commerce Department recommended a more than doubling of the tariffs on Canadian lumber last Friday despite a meteoric rise in prices and demand for the commodity.Specifically, the department recommended the "all others" preliminary countervailing and anti-dumping rate move to 18.32% from 8.99%.The proposed rates are subject to further review over the next six months before final duties are set sometime in November.Former President Donald Trump's administration imposed a similar 20% tariff on Canadian softwood in 2018, but lowered it to around 9% late last year after <a href="https://www.wto.org/english/news_e/news20_e/533r_e.htm">a decision favoring Canada</a> by the World Trade Organization.The move to increase tariffs on Canadian lumber suppliers comes as <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/lumber-price">lumber prices</a> have risen over 275% since last April alone. Canada's share of the US lumber market sits at around 25% as well, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/homes-price-rise-is-not-explained-by-duties-11618854766">the Wall Street Journal.</a>On May 22, National Association of Home Builders chairman Chuck Fowke released a <a href="https://nahbnow.com/2021/05/move-to-double-lumber-tariffs-shows-white-house-does-not-care-about-housing-affordability/">statement</a> criticizing the move to increase tariffs."At a time when soaring lumber prices have added nearly $36,000 to the price of a new home and priced millions of middle-class households out of the housing market, the Biden administration's preliminary finding on Friday to double the tariffs on Canadian lumber shipments into the U.S. shows the White House does not care about the plight of American home buyers and renters who have been forced to pay much higher costs for housing," Fowke wrote."The administration should be ashamed for casting its lot with special interest groups and abandoning the interests of the American people," he added.Canadian authorities also rebuked the newly proposed tariffs."US duties on Canadian softwood lumber products are a tax on the American people. They make housing less affordable for Americans and hinder economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic," said Mary Ng, a Canadian MP and the minister of Small Business, Export Promotion, and International Trade."We will keep challenging these unwarranted and damaging duties through all available avenues. We remain confident that a negotiated solution to this long-standing trade issue is not only possible, but in the best interest of both our countries," she added.On the other hand, US timber producers applauded the new tariffs on Canadian companies. Jason Brochu, the US Lumber Coalition co-chair, said the Commerce Department's decision represents a move to create a level playing field in the industry. "A level playing field is a critical element for continued investment and growth for U.S. lumber manufacturing to meet strong building demand to build more American homes," Brochu said in <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/us-lumber-coalition-us-department-of-commerces-continued-trade-enforcement-leads-to-robust-domestic-lumber-industry-capacity-expansion-301297010.html">a statement</a>."More lumber being manufactured in America to meet domestic demand is a direct result of the trade enforcement, and we strongly urge the Administration to continue this enforcement," he added. Insider spoke with Stinson Dean, the founder of Deacon Lumber Company, about differing perspectives from experts regarding the newly proposed tariffs.Dean said he doesn't know how the new tariffs will impact prices, but said that last time a tariff increase was announced, prices skyrocketed, although from much a lower base. However, Dean also said the "tariff should be judged on its merits and not a kneejerk reaction to the current market," noting that scarcity of supply is the main issue when increasing tariffs, not pricing. "In my mind, any tax on Canadian lumber incentivizes them to look sell to other <keyword id="31671" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="markets">markets</keyword>. The US needs all the supply it can get-and buyers will clearly pay for it-but if it doesn't exist, it brings construction to a halt. Scarcity is the problem, not price," Dean said.Dean recommended a "ceasefire" from tariffs for the next 12 months to give both sides time to lock in a long-term agreement because the industry needs "all the supply in the world pointed at the US."

The hilarious admission came on Thursday after Teigen, author of the cookbook "Cravings," shared that the inspiration behind her recipe for potatoes with parmesan cream sauce came from an experience she had at the now-defunct department store, which shuttered earlier this year. "This was inspired by a trip to Barney's (rest in peace) where i ordered this and had my purse stolen and couldn't pay for it and a stranger helped me," Teigen said in a retweet of her popular recipe. While some Twitter users praised Teigen's recipe in the replies to her tweet, one fan shared an interaction she had with the model at Barney's. "One time I saw you at barneys and you bought a Celine bag so you wouldn't feel guilty about asking to use the bathroom," fan Claire Ashbey revealed in her reply to Teigen. "I knew I loved you before but that solidified it." As fans of the "Cravings" author shared their delight at Ashbey's story, the fan also said in subsequent tweets that Teigen and her mother, Pepper, talked to Ashbey and her mother "for 10+ minutes," and that Teigen was "genuinely so so kind." Teigen herself even retweeted Ashbey's story, and added, "wowowowow anyone that knows me knows this is very true all too often." Reacts to Teigen's admission were mixed. Some fans laughed about it, and shared similar experiences of also buying things — usually less expensive items — in order to gain access to a store's bathroom. Others took issue with what they felt was a blatant and tone-deaf display of wealth on Teigen's part. One user even tweeted a screenshot from the movie "Parasite" to drive the point home. In general, though, most people just seemed amused by Teigen's story and encouraged others to see the levity in the situation. This isn't the only comment from Teigen that's caused a stir on social media recently. After the popular food writer Alison Roman seemingly criticized Teigen and cleaning expert Marie Kondo in an interview, <a href="https://www.insider.com/alison-roman-chrissy-teigen-marie-kondo-food-interview-drama-2020-5">Teigen weighed in, subsequently locking her Twitter account</a> after the backlash against Roman quickly included her as well. <ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/fast-and-furious-tokyo-drift-chrissy-teigen-2020-4">Chrissy Teigen says her boobs are in 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift'</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/alison-roman-chrissy-teigen-marie-kondo-food-interview-drama-2020-5">Alison Roman's New York Times column has been put on hold after the food writer criticized Chrissy Teigen and Marie Kondo in an interview.

Much of that derives from <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reese-witherspoon-hello-sunshine-reportedly-sold-for-900-million-2021-8">her sale last summer of a majority stake in Hello Sunshine</a>, reportedly valued at $900 million.But less than a decade ago, Witherspoon was considered a victim of <a href="https://www.insider.com/oscars-curse-2019-2">the so-called best-actress curse</a>. She'd followed her 2006 Oscar win with years of roles in middling comedies like "Four Christmases," "This Means War," "How Do You Know," and "Hot Pursuit." <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/06/25/funny-is-money">A 2012 New Yorker article</a> declared her a faded star, placing her alongside the likes of Demi Moore and John Travolta.How was she able to turn things around so spectacularly?<h2>'I was so used to being underestimated'</h2>Before "Big Little Lies," Witherspoon was known for her iconic roles in "<a href="https://www.insider.com/legally-blonde-facts-2019-1">Legally Blonde</a>" and "Election" and her Oscar-winning turn as June Carter Cash in "Walk the Line." But in the decade-plus between her Oscar win and her hit adaptation of Liane Moriarty's novel, her career floundered."I was so used to being underestimated that when I was somehow accepted, I didn't know how to look at material," Witherspoon <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/how-reese-witherspoon-took-charge-her-career-changed-hollywood-1260203/">told The Hollywood Reporter</a> of this time in her life. "I didn't know how to make decisions and I didn't know what I wanted to say." (Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine declined a request for comment for this piece.)Her off-screen behavior didn't help. In 2013, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reese-witherspoon-arrested-in-atlanta-2013-4">she was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct</a> after her husband, Jim Toth, was pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence. The incident was <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2013/05/02/reese-witherspoon-arrest-dash-cam-video/">caught on tape</a>, with <a href="https://variety.com/2013/biz/news/reese-witherspoon-arrested-dui-husband-jim-toth-atlanta-1200401299/">Witherspoon asking the officer</a> "Do you know my name?" and promising that he'd "be on national news" for arresting her. (She ultimately pleaded no contest and <a href="https://newsfeed.time.com/2013/04/22/reese-witherspoon-deeply-embarrassed-about-her-disorderly-conduct-husbands-dui/">apologized</a>, saying she was "deeply embarrassed" by her behavior.)<div type="image" title="reese witherspoon hot pursuit" height="414" width="552" msid="89688120" hostid="261"></div>But Toth was also key to Witherspoon's efforts to remake herself. A successful talent agent, he gave her the push to self-fund her production company, then called Pacific Standard, with the goal of making the complex, women-fronted projects she couldn't find in her own career."He said, 'You should produce movies,'" Witherspoon <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a13533/reese-witherspoon-0216/">told Harper's Bazaar in 2016</a>. "'You read more books than anybody I know. You should just buy some of them and turn them into films.'"Witherspoon did just that, optioning two of the biggest titles of the early 2010s: Gillian Flynn's suspense novel "Gone Girl," which <a href="https://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/15/new-two-book-deal-for-gone-girl-author-gillian-flynn/">topped the New York Times bestseller list for eight weeks</a>, and Cheryl Strayed's hiking memoir, "Wild," which also hit No. 1 on the list and was the first title in Oprah's rebooted book club.<div type="image" title="wild reese witherspoon" height="749" width="999" msid="89688122" hostid="261"></div>Both film adaptations were released in 2014; "Gone Girl" was a box-office smash, while ''Wild" was a modest hit and earned Witherspoon her second Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Strayed.But Witherspoon was still waiting for the project that would put her over the top both in front of and behind the camera — and it turned out to be on television.<h2>Elevating 'chick lit' brought Witherspoon to new heights</h2>When Moriarty's "Big Little Lies" was released in 2014, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/25/books/in-big-little-lies-liane-moriarty-finds-new-complications.html?_r=0">a Times critic</a> praised the book's "easy, girlfriendly style," noting that it "isn't likely to attract much of a male readership."But Moriarty <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/books/liane-moriarty-nine-perfect-strangers-big-little-lies.html">told The Times in 2018</a> that the emphasis on female characters that had earned the book the label of "chick lit" was also the secret to its television success. Centered on a quintet of major actresses including Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Dern, "Big Little Lies" filled an untapped need for stories about complicated women.<div type="image" title="big little lies" height="1333" width="1778" msid="89688124" hostid="261"></div>Since then, adaptations of contemporary women's literary fiction have taken off. HBO commissioned Moriarty to formulate a second season of "Big Little Lies," featuring Meryl Streep in her first TV role in 15 years, while Hulu adapted her follow-up book, "Nine Perfect Strangers." Kidman got a second book-based HBO series (and second Emmy nomination) with "The Undoing," based on Jean Hanff Korelitz's "You Should Have Known." Caroline Kepnes' "You" books and Kristin Hannah's "Firefly Lane" have been turned into successful Netflix series.Not all of these shows have been critically acclaimed; "Big Little Lies" took a drubbing in its second season. But they've given Witherspoon the clout to expand beyond literary adaptations, most notably with "<keyword id="12102064" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="the-morning-show" source="Orion">The Morning Show</keyword>," which <a href="https://www.insider.com/2020-emmy-nominees-winners-list-2020-7">landed eight Emmy nominations</a> for its first season.Witherspoon's shows have been huge subscription drivers for HBO Max, Hulu, and Apple. A report from the content-analytics firm <a href="https://www.diesellabs.com/">Diesel Labs</a> that was <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90665808/this-one-chart-shows-why-reese-witherspoons-hello-sunshine-is-worth-900-million">shared with Fast Company</a> last year indicated that "Big Little Lies," "Little Fires Everywhere," and "The Morning Show" were key in acquiring new users for their respective platforms, outpacing even other women-centric marquee shows like "Mare of Easttown" and "Mrs. America.""For a small production company, Hello Sunshine is producing top-tier, high-quality content that is driving measurable engagement and new engaged audiences for streaming services," said Anjali Midha, the CEO and cofounder of Diesel Labs.<h2>Witherspoon's book-to-TV pipeline is just getting started</h2>Scroll back to the earliest days of Reese's Book Club, and you'll find the September 2017 pick: Celeste Ng's "Little Fires Everywhere.""This deep psychological mystery about two families in Ohio moved me to tears," Witherspoon <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BY8p2innaQK/?hl=en">wrote on Instagram</a>, adding, "To say I love this book is an understatement."As it turned out, the selection wasn't entirely motivated by literary goodwill. <a href="https://deadline.com/2018/03/hulu-series-order-little-fires-everywhere-reese-witherspoon-kerry-washington-1202336463/">Deadline reported</a> that Witherspoon had read "Little Fires Everywhere" before its publication and brought it to Kerry Washington, who agreed to coproduce and costar. By the time the Hulu adaptation was announced in March 2018, Witherspoon's endorsement had already helped propel "Little Fires Everywhere" <a href="https://ew.com/books/2018/03/23/celeste-ng-novelist-profile/">to a more than 20-week run</a> on the Times bestseller list.When the show came out in March 2020, "Little Fires Everywhere" had spent <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/13/books/review/celeste-ng-little-fires-everywhere-hulu.html">48 weeks on the hardcover fiction bestseller list and 40 weeks on the paperback list</a>, fueling enthusiasm for the adaptation. Shortly after the premiere, the book <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Fiction_Best_Sellers_of_2020">hit No. 1</a> on the Times list, remaining there for three weeks.<div type="image" title="little fires everywhere elena mia" height="1515" width="2021" msid="89688126" hostid="261"></div>Even for authors who don't land the top spot on the bestseller list or a Hello Sunshine adaptation, Witherspoon's seal of approval has been huge.Andrea Bartz, the author of Witherspoon's August 2021 pick, "We Were Never Here," said that book "outperformed my first two books many, many times over." The novel debuted at No. 3 on The Times' hardcover fiction list and stayed there for five weeks.By September, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/we-were-never-here-netflix-movie-1235010381/">it had been optioned</a> by Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter's Berlanti/Schechter Films and Molly Sims' Something Happy Productions for a Netflix adaptation — and by the time it arrives, it'll have a built-in audience."More than six months later, sales are still strong," Bartz said. "I feel incredibly lucky that, thanks to that spotlight, hundreds of thousands of readers discovered my book."<div type="image" title="reese witherspoon hello sunshine" height="1997" width="2670" msid="89688128" hostid="261"></div>Literary adaptations are nothing new, but when it comes to building an empire around them, Witherspoon was in the right place at the right time, said Maris Kreizman, the literary commentator and host of the literary podcast "The Maris Review.""Streaming has created a bigger market than ever for more shows and movies, and therefore it's created a huge appetite for intellectual property," she said. "It's a no-brainer to build a production company around it. Production companies win, authors win."<h2>Witherspoon has created a model for other actresses</h2>From the moment they make it big, Hollywood actresses face a looming problem: As they age out of the youth the industry demands, <a href="https://www.insider.com/celebrities-who-have-spoken-out-against-age-discrimination-2019-8">their career options narrow</a>.Some have found massive success in pivoting away from film roles. Jessica Alba built a billion-dollar empire around <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/denizcam/2021/05/04/inside-jessica-albas-long-and-turbulent-road-to-taking-the-honest-company-public/?sh=7824352c6be1">eco-friendly personal-care products</a>, and Gwyneth Paltrow has <a href="https://www.insider.com/gwyneth-paltrow-netflix-goop-lab-behind-the-scenes-2020-1">become synonymous with wellness and alternative modalities</a>. (Witherspoon has played in this arena too, via <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reese-witherspoons-draper-james-2016-2">her clothing and home-goods brand, Draper James</a>.)<div type="image" title="reese witherspoon draper james" height="1497" width="1997" msid="89688130" hostid="261"></div>But with the success of Hello Sunshine, the game has changed for actresses, who are rushing to emulate Witherspoon's model of producing successful literary adaptations.Under her LuckyChap banner, Margot Robbie <a href="https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/maid-stephanie-land-netflix-series-margot-robbie-john-wells-1203410433/">produced Netflix's successful adaptation</a> of "Maid," Stephanie Land's bestselling memoir, and plans to turn Ottessa Moshfegh's novel "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" <a href="https://deadline.com/2018/07/my-year-of-rest-and-relaxation-margot-robbie-charles-roven-atlas-luckychap-movie-ottessa-moshfegh-1202423155/">into a feature film</a>. Kaley Cuoco told The Hollywood Reporter that Witherspoon <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/kaley-cuoco-on-her-pivot-to-darker-material-in-hbo-max-thriller-the-flight-attendant-4085274/">was "the obvious one"</a> she'd modeled her career on when she pivoted from a decade of "Big Bang Theory" stardom into optioning, producing and starring in HBO Max's surprise hit "The Flight Attendant," based on Chris Bohjalian's 2018 novel. And Washington is following up "Little Fires Everywhere" with <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/08/kerry-washington-to-produce-star-in-rockaway-film-for-netflix-diane-cardwell-1234808090/">a Netflix adaptation of "Rockaway,"</a> Diane Cardwell's surfing memoir, which Washington will both star in and produce."I think Witherspoon's huge success has encouraged other actresses to explore their own producing power, as well as to harness their star power to get more projects made that center on women," said Joy Press, the Vanity Fair correspondent and author of "Stealing the Show: How Women Are Revolutionizing Television."<div type="image" title="Flight Attendant Kaley Cuoco" height="1056" width="1408" msid="89688132" hostid="261"></div>Hello Sunshine's $900 million sale almost certainly played a role. "It had to be a number that signified that it's big business, because women are big business," Witherspoon told Gayle King in <a href="https://www.instyle.com/celebrity/reese-witherspoon/december-2021-cover">an InStyle interview</a> last year, later adding: "Women are also hyperaware that they are the buying majority. They hold the purse strings. They also consume much more media than men. When you're talking in terms of my business, it only makes sense to cater to an audience that consumes more than anyone, right?"Witherspoon has no plans to stop catering to her audience, with three more Reese's Book Club adaptations on the way from Hello Sunshine: She's producing TV versions of Tembi Locke's "From Scratch" for Netflix and Taylor Jenkins Reid's "Daisy Jones and the Six" for Prime Video, and a feature film of "Where the Crawdads Sing."The latter is arguably the book club's biggest success, skyrocketing from an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/29/books/review/where-the-crawdads-sing-delia-owens-best-seller.html">initial print run of 27,500 copies</a> to <a href="https://www.deliaowens.com/news-reviews/2021/5/9/crawdads-book-reaches-11-million-in-sales">11 million copies</a> sold as of May. While Witherspoon doesn't appear in the "Crawdads" film, <a href="https://people.com/movies/reese-witherspoon-where-the-crawdads-sing-adaptation-set-for-june-2022-release/">set to be released on June 24</a>, there's no mistaking who made it happen."It's going to be a big year for Hello Sunshine," she told InStyle. "Which makes me so happy!"

As indicated by some exceptionally casual weed testing rules, Olympic competitors are permitted to smoke weed without being excluded. While cannabis is still authoritatively banned amid the amusements, Olympians can escape with smoking the substance as long it is not done while contending. 
 
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) changed the principles in May, 2013, which makes it harder for an Olympian to test positive for ‘Mary-Jane’ and be suspended from the amusements.

At the point when the Olympics added snowboarding to the rundown of games in 1998, it appears nobody expected the way of life and society that is synonymous with the sport. Now, this brings us to Ross Rebagliati, who was the first ever to win an Olympic gold decoration for Men's Snowboarding at the 1998 Winter Olympics. 
 
Things came smashing down when soon after the huge win, he was found to have 17.8 ng/ml of THC in his blood and was consequently precluded. Rebagliati asserted that the THC was from passive smoke at the time. Rebagliati was later given his awards back after a decision called that Ganja was not on the rundown of banned substances in 1998. In today's lawful weed scene, Rebagliati has bounced back. The self-announced canna-competitor and pot business visionary posts uninhibitedly about the intense plant on Instagram. 
 
Michael Phelps 
 
With such a variety of Olympic gold awards, Michael Phelps is hands down the most adorned Olympian ever. In 2009 in the wake of winning a record eight Olympic gold decorations Phelps was captured utilizing a water channel otherwise known as bong. Phelps later conceded the photograph was taken at a University of South Carolina party and apologized for his conduct openly. 
 
He was later suspended by the USA swimming association for three months and lost a noteworthy sponsorship with Kellogg.

The speediest man alive used to smoke ganja when he was a great deal more youthful, however once his running vocation took off he exchanged the bud for the track he said in an interview. The world record holder in the 100 m and 200 m Bolt has not backed off and is as of now in Rio pursuing more gold. While he doesn't smoke any longer, Bolt has been seen to embrace cannabis society by posting pictures of him with a cannabis attire brand. Both Bolt and Phelps have effectively affirmed that this will be the last Olympics for them, so be set up to watch these legends on out.
