You can’t make this stuff up
From CTV:
Prime Minister Jean Chretien is considering trying some new things once he retires — including a good spliff. At least, that’s what he joked about in an interview with the Winnipeg Free Press… Chretien also joked that he might give pot a try once it is no longer a criminal offence. Under the new law, pot users would pay a fine if caught with a small amount. “I don’t know what is marijuana. Perhaps I will try it when it will no longer be criminal. I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand,” he said in the interview… “I am a public person in a very diverse society, and I don’t think I can impose every limit of my morality on others, because I don’t want others to impose their morality on me.”
