    What do you think of this? I can not believe that a man of his status would want to do this. Do you agree with him or disagree?

    This is what he said:

    "I'm not exactly for the use of drugs, don't get me wrong," he said, "but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot, that kinda thing it's just, it's costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people. Young people go into prisons, they go in as youths and come out as hardened criminals. That's not a good thing."

    "We're locking up people that have taken a couple puffs of marijuana and next thing you know they've got 10 years with mandatory sentences," Robertson said. “We've got to take a look at what we're considering crimes and that's one of 'em,” he added.


    I would tend to agree with that thinking. I am not sure how many people are being really locked up for minor use/possession, though. There is already a lot of decriminalization (official and unofficial) of use and minor possession going on around the country.

    I would agree with him as well. I did not hear all he said, I just had heard that he wanted to legalize pot. Thanks for clearing this up for me, Stujoe.

    He might own a lot of shares for Hostess.

    Twinkie sales go up with every joint.

    Sorry. Just had to say it.
