As Speaker of the House, Gingrich introduced the “Drug Importer Death Penalty Act of 1996.”
The bill would have required a “sentence of death for certain importations of significant quantities of controlled substances.” It would have applied to anyone convicted more than once of carrying 100 doses — or about two ounces — or marijuana across the border. Defendants would have had a window of 18 months to file their one and only appeal.
Gingrich Proposed the Death Penalty for Marijuana
"Once upon a time in America a citizen had complete freedom (along with the personal responsibility) to discover and use anything they believed might help them with a medical problem. One such discovery was the medicinal use of cannabis. By the late 19th century its use had been widely accepted for both human and animal applications. Cannabis was virtually cost-free to grow (it is classified a weed), highly effective, low side-effect and low, nearly zero addictive properties. Cannabis was sold legally and in harmony with its more powerful shelf mates like heroin, morphine and cocaine. For religious reason Utah in 1914 became the first of many states to prohibit its sale. In the 21st century its re-introduction as a medicine is being blocked, not by religion but rather by possibly the most powerful, well-financed lobby in Washington, Big Pharma."
I'm thinking "adultery" makes more sense.
Shhhhh.... don't tell anyone about this. Let him or some other "tea party" endorsed candidate run against Obama... then let all these things come out.
Two ounces is not that much pot......
There is that big government mentality the republicans love. Of course it would do nothing to stop drug smuggling.
I must oppose newt as he wants to kill all the people that smoke pot, which isn't any worst then all the cig smokers or drunks.
Cocaine,anything proven deadly should be eradicated.
Shhhhh.... don't tell anyone about this. Let him or some other "tea party" endorsed candidate run against Obama... then let all these things come out.
