Guest Bill Mayer Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 I wonder what Republicans are thinking now that they have found out their fearless leader was a pot smoker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Wilbur Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Actually President Bush has in the past supported of states' rights on the medical marijuana issue that conflicted with many GOP lawmakers' belief that such laws undermine anti-drug efforts. I personally think his comment was admirable. "I won't answer the marijuana question. Do you know why? Because I don't want young children to use something I had tried. " White House Spokesman Mr. Ken Lisaius noted that the President was disappointed that the conversation had been broadcast, and stressed that it was a private conversation that Bush had with a man whom he thought was a friend.

Guest Human Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The anti-drug effort was lost the moment the pharmaceutical companies starting advertising on T.V. The hypocrisy of advertising "even legal drugs" on T.V. told the young that there is a double standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest noob Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 It's strange that you say that, since John Kerry did also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristal Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 is everyone in this room just talking about "Bush on Drugs" or are we open to talk about anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeezsis Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 "Bush on Drugs" Back in the days of the late sixties and early seventies, the only persons who didn't at least try a few drugs were the friendless psychos and the Nixon Republicans (also psychos). The elections of 2000 and '04 came down to former pot smokers (Gore and Kerry) vs. former cocaine fiend (Bush). In my experience, potheads are often a bit lazy and slow, but they are usually thoughtful and ethical individuals. Cocaine fiends are liars and thieves. And anyone who objectively and seriously looks at the life stories of these three men, you can easily that this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mary Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Who honestly cares if the President smoked a little weed? I hope that we are not naive enough to think that most children and young adults have at least tried getting high. Having a president actually admit it is not going to send the American youth into a drug binge. Even the "nerdy" kids in my high school smoked pot. Its funny how alcohol and cigarette’s are legal yet marijuana isn't. Maybe the amount of money these companies stuff into the government’s pockets has something to do with it. Hmmm, I'm not saying that everyone should go home and light up a joint, but passing judgment on someone for something they did decades ago is foolish. I'm sure we all have some regrets in our life, probably ones that make getting high a few times seem trivial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
