California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger downplayed his use of pot in a recent interview by claiming that marijuana is not a drug, but is instead a simple leaf:
Schwarzenegger told the British edition of GQ magazine that he had not taken drugs, even though the former bodybuilder and Hollywood star has acknowledged using marijuana in the 1970s and was shown smoking a joint in the 1977 documentary "Pumping Iron."
"That is not a drug. It's a leaf," Schwarzenegger told GQ. "My drug was pumping iron, trust me."
Of course, Arnold's people say he was only joking, but I don't think the people busted for selling and using leaves in California are all that amused...
