Ventura
Applauds
Gov.
Johnson's
Legalization
Stance
1/9/00
In an interview with Minnesota
Public Radio last week (12/28), Governor Jesse Ventura voiced support for
New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson's call for an end to the drug war.
Ventura, who ran as a member of the Reform Party, has previously spoken
of his support for the legalization of marijuana, but has not been as outspoken
on drug policy issues as his Republican colleague.
"I'm very pleased that Governor
Johnson of New Mexico has come out very strongly in support of stopping
the war on drugs and going after it a different way," Ventura told MPR.
"Prohibition doesn't mean something's going to go away."
