Clinton: Pot Smoking Should Not Be Prison Offense
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - President Clinton (news - web sites), who
tried to avoid the stigma of smoking marijuana by saying he never
''inhaled,'' tells Rolling Stone magazine that people should not be
jailed for using or selling small amounts of the drug.
--end excerpt--
Instead of pushing for legislation in '93-94, Clinton is now opining
that all of those hundreds of thousands of folks his Drug Warriors
put in in prison maybe shouldn't be there.
Something tells me the New Bill will soon be bashing Carnivore,
CALEA, Clipper, Echelon, and all other things Janet Reno, Louis
Freeh, Jamie Gorelick, and all of the other Drug Warriors and Ninja
Raiders were pushing so hard.
We may even see the New Bill say he was never in favor of burning 90
people alive in Waco for the sin of believing in a bizarre variant of
Christianity.
Of course, he probably did the RS interview when he thought Bush was
going to win and his party would be the Disloyal Opposition, railing
against Carnivore, no knock raids, sentencing enhancements, the
persecution of Jim Bill, CALEA, and so on.
The New Bill may have to modify his new radicalism in light of the
possibility that Algore and his ZOG Veep may manage, through the
cleverness of their shysters, to pull a victory out of the ashes.
Revised version, in the December 23 "Letters to the Editor":
"Actually, I was misquoted in that "Rolling Stone" article. What I
actually said was that Sen. Clinton and I are both behind President
Gore's Campaign to Save the Children Act. If those who traffic in the
Evil Weed think they can hide behind the Constitution, they'd better
watch out for the pre-dawn raids!"
