Perhaps it should come to no surprise that a guy who paid for (a lot of) sex is cool with legalizing harmless flora, but Eliot Spitzer did used to be the Governor of New York and all. After some gentle ribbing by host Bill Maher (who is no stranger to smoking dope and copulating with prostitutes) Spitzer says, "To spend prosecutorial resources on pot is ridiculous...I'd be in favor of legalized pot. Legalizing pot is the right way to go."
Skip to 4:20 (GET IT—no seriously, the discussion about legalized cannabis begins after four minutes and twenty seconds has elapsed) for Spitzer's comments.
Now that a majority of Americans support legalizing marijuana, including an increasing amount of former law enforcement officials, will President Obama fulfill his campaign promise and stop persecuting marijuana use where it is legal? (Answer: no, it's an election year.)
