Schwarzenegger: Marijuana is a leaf, not a drug

I posted about big Arnold's relationship with Bush on Friday, which marks the absolute first time I've made any political judgment (though it was less of a judgment and more of a comment) on his campaign as Governor of California.

Well, the very next workday for me, here he is again, delivering inspiring messages against the War on Drugs. Of course, he says none of this directly; however, he does mention that "A politician’s job is to do what’s best for the people and to improve the country, the economy, the environment. Why should I care if a politician takes sleeping pills every night so long as he can do his job?"


This makes me wonder what his rulings on medical, eventually decriminalized, and eventually legal marijuana will be, for example. Regardless, he seems to view the prospect of a responsible adult utilizing drugs that may or may not harm him or her (that decision is up to the user) in the privacy of the home as inconsequential to public policy.
