MARIJUANA GROUP TO USE COMMENT BY N.Y MAYOR
New York - Mayor Michael Bloomberg's election year comment that he had not
only tried marijuana but liked it is heading for wider distribution -
although he wishes it wasn't so.
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws Foundation, or
NORML, plans to invoke the mayor one-time praise for pot in the a $500,000
pro-decriminalization print ad campaign.
Bloomberg was still a mayoral candidate when New York Magazine last year
ask him whether he had ever inhaled from a marijuana joint.
Came his reply: "You bet I did. And I enjoyed it".
The group's marketing promotion seeks to dissuade New York City from
arresting and jailing pot smokers, a law enforcement dragnet expanded under
former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The ads state, "Its NORML to smoke pot."
