THE FACE OF POT POLITICS: WHY DON HAUMANT - AND SOME LEGISLATORS -
WANT MINNESOTA TO LEGALIZE MEDICAL MARIJUANA
"Statistically, I'm supposed to be dead," says Don Haumant, 57, as he
sits in his Minneapolis living room, the winter light coming in
through half-closed shades.
The one-bedroom apartment is decorated with period furniture - "You
might be comfortable on a mission chair," he offers a guest - and
flourishes of 1950s and Hollywood memorabilia. Above the couch is a
photograph of MGM's studio players from Tinseltown's golden era. Clark
Gable anchors the shot.
"There's not a whole lot that can be done," said the onetime actor,
his speech leisurely but his posture crisp. "That's why I've had to
take it upon myself to do the things that are within my power to live
a better life. And one of the things I've done is find the substances
that are the most helpful and least damaging."
