San Francisco, CA -- When the Associated Press released a story that reported Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said marijuana is "not a drug," press secretary Aaron McLear was quick to announce that Schwarzenegger was joking.During an interview with Piers Morgan, a judge of "America's Got Talent," the governator had said that he had never taken drugs, even though he has admitted to smoking marijuana and the 1977 documentary film, "Pumping Iron," showed him inhaling.
So Schwarzenegger quipped, "That is not a drug. It's a leaf. My drug was pumping iron, trust me."McLear told me that just as Schwarzenegger is more playful when appearing on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," with some TV personalities, Schwarzenegger "says things that are a bit more shocking because he's playing to the audience." And: "The governor was not taking marijuana off the drug list. This was a light-hearted interview."Too bad. I was hoping that Schwarzenegger was signaling a more sane drug policy for California - one that would direct the state not to waste money on marijuana enforcement, so that police can concentrate on violent crime or drugs that, unlike marijuana, kill people."The thing about Gov. Schwarzenegger is, we all know that he smoked marijuana," noted Bruce Mirken of the Marijuana Policy Project. "He is one of a great many accomplished people who smoked marijuana and have gone on to lead a successful life."Mayor Gavin Newsom is the rare politician to take on the war on drugs. As CBS5's Hank Plante reported earlier this month, Newsom said, "If you want to get serious, if you want to reduce crime by 70 percent in this country overnight, end this war on drugs."

Well, it's probably good to warn the kids not to play with steroids. :)

Steroids
Arnold's right that they don't make you big, you have to work out hard and build up that muscle which he did, but steroids make that work out more effective in terms of creating muscle mass.And then your testicles shrivel up.

Arnold's steroid confession
"I will not speak for my colleagues but I will write about my experience with tissue-building drugs. Yes, I have used them, but no, they didn't make me what I am. Anabolic steroids were helpful to me in maintaining muscle size while on a strict diet in preparation for a contest."http://www.bodyfatguide.com/ArnoldsSteroidConfession.html

What Arnold Meant
When the Associated Press released a story that reported Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said marijuana is "not a drug," press secretary Aaron McLear was quick to announce that Schwarzenegger was joking.What Arnold really meant is that cannabis isn't a drug if he or other globalist elites are the ones using it. It's only a drug if ordinary folks use it. Cage the masses!Arnold Exposed: http://www.infowars.com/print/nwo/shwartz_section.htmSomething is going on...Missing Nukes: Treason of the Highest Order:
