NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mayor Michael
Bloomberg found himself the poster boy for
an ad campaign to legalize marijuana in a full-
page spread in Tuesday's New York Times,
but he's not pleased about it.
The advertisement is part of pro-marijuana
group The NORML Foundation's $500,000
campaign that will feature Bloomberg, who
was quoted in a 2001 magazine article as
saying he had smoked marijuana and liked it.
"You bet I did, and I enjoyed it," he said in an
April 16, 2001, New York magazine article,
before he was elected mayor, in response to
the question if he had ever smoked
marijuana.
The newspaper ad featured the quote in a
bubble above the mayor's head with a tag line
below, "It's NORML to Smoke Pot."
The text of the ad said NORML applauds
Bloomberg's candor, and lumped him in with
former President Bill Clinton, New York Gov.
George Pataki and Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas (news - web sites) as
another public official who it says has
admitted he smoked pot.
NORML, sister organization to the
Washington-based National Organization for
the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the ad
campaign will also include transit system
billboards, telephone kiosk billboards and
radio.
"I'm not thrilled," said Bloomberg at a City Hall
press conference on Monday when asked
about his depiction in the campaign, adding
that First Amendment laws probably would
prevent him from stopping the ads.
He said all city laws on marijuana would
continue to be enforced.
City officials were unavailable for comment on
Tuesday on whether they would block the ads
from appearing on city buses and on subway
station billboards.

| If pot was legal I would feel so much better about smoking. I hate to think about what is done to the pot I buy. I dont think that its harmless but, a six pack does alot more damage then smoking a bowl or two. Besides why should others choose what I do? So, I can drink Vodka untill I choke on my own vomit butI cant smoke?

Light the head, than YOU suck ass
I have walked through many lives
Some of them my own
And I am not who I was
Though some principle of being abides
From which I struggle not to stray

| Drugs were fun when I was 18 and care free. At 27 with a $1600 monthly mortgage it just doesn't fly as well.
These days I can't call in to work for having a nose bleed. Damn, I miss those days. :)
