Arnold Schwarzenegger: Nice People Take Drugs

This card is one of a deck produced by Release to highlight politicians’ hypocrisy towards drug use.

Current Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger does what he feels like doing, yet locks people up for what they like doing. While fortunately for Arnie, cannabis has legally been decriminalised in California, citizens can still be jailed for years for the use of other substances.

He was filmed smoking a joint in the 1977 documentary "Pumping Iron" and claims that cannabis is not a drug, it's a "leaf".

    What a refreshing attitude in the present and clear enjoyment in the past, I reckon he loved that joint!

    In an interview in 1977, the year the clip of him smoking was filmed, he was asked if he took 'dope':

    "Yes, grass and hash - no hard drugs. But the point is that I do what I feel like doing."

    If only all politicans were so honest!
