I thought Bill Clinton wanted pot legal. I wonder why?

Yeah, right...

Marijuana Arrests Soar Under President Clinton

In 1999, 704,812 people in the United States were arrested for marijuana "crimes." * This was an increase of over 85% from the 380,399 arrested in 1993 **, Bill Clinton's first year in office.

Many more were arrested for other drugs. Evidently, the era of big government is not over yet.

Numerous public leaders have admitted to smoking marijuana, like President Clinton, Vice President Gore, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

One question, if you will:
If Clinton, Gore, Gingrich and Thomas don't belong in jail, why do all those other people belong in jail?

Bonus questions:

If smoking marijuana kills your ambition, how do you explain Clinton, Gore, Gingrich and Thomas?

If sharing marijuana with a friend is a felony, why don't we feel the same way about Clinton, Gore, Gingrich and Thomas as we do about rapists, robbers and murderers?

US Court of Appeals Judge Douglas Ginsburg admitted smoking marijuana for years. All he was able to achieve during this time was to serve for several years as Professor at Harvard University. Imagine what a good job he could have gotten if he had not been smoking pot.

Charles Rogers admitted using cocaine almost daily while a college football player at University of South Carolina. All he was able to achieve at this time was winning the Heisman trophy. Imagine how well he would have done if he were drug-free.

You're arguing off point, Bill. I've never heard of a law that incriminates someone for admitting that they at one time in their life smoked marijuana. The person would have to be possessing it at the time of arrest in order to be charged. I never said to send people to jail for simple possession anyway. A nice expensive fine will do.

Nobody in their right mind argues that smoking marijuana doesn't kill ambition.

If sharing marijuana with a friend is a felony, why don't we feel the same way about Clinton, Gore, Gingrich and Thomas as we do about rapists, robbers and murderers?

Ha hah, very funny. You put Clinton and Thomas in the same bag, you must have got ahold of that 'dro.

US Court of Appeals Judge Douglas Ginsburg admitted smoking marijuana for years. All he was able to achieve during this time was to serve for several years as Professor at Harvard University. Imagine what a good job he could have gotten if he had not been smoking pot.

Again, must be the 'dro.

Charles Rogers admitted using cocaine almost daily while a college football player at University of South Carolina. All he was able to achieve at this time was winning the Heisman trophy. Imagine how well he would have done if he were drug-free.

My point exactly. You think the powder made him better? Funny, real funny.
