Dr. Peter Bourne was Carter's Drug Policy Czar. Bourne insisted that cocaine was a benign, recreational drug. Under Bourne, the Mexican marijuana crop was sprayed with a toxic herbicide and socialist Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley was given billions to eradicate marijuana from his island. What this did was encourage Columbia as a marijuana exporter. With the bales of Columbian pot came cocaine which turned into a drug and crime epidemic. Dr. Bourne was forced to resign when he got caught writing prescriptions for Quaalude, in a phony name, for a White House staffer.

Most presidents surround themselves with cabinet members and advisers smarter than themselves. Carter surrounded himself with morons and mental health patients.

You say: "Most presidents surround themselves with cabinet members and advisers smarter than themselves. Carter surrounded himself with morons and mental health patients."

So you are saying Carter did the same thing as other presidents, right?
