Quote
of
the
Week:
Everybody
wants
to
play
doctor
11/2/97
"When was the last time your doctor told you to go home, light
up some leaves and suck the smoke down your throat?"
- William Bennett, former Drug Czar, 10/29, talking about medical marijuana
(Editor's note: A 1995 poll of American oncologists found that 44% admitted
having recommended smoked marijuana to at least one patient. The real question
is: when was the last time a seriously ill patient went to Bill Bennett
for medical advice?)
