"We're locking up people that take a couple of puffs of marijuana and the next thing they know they've got 10 years ... We've got to take a look at what we're considering crimes and that's one of them. I'm not exactly for the use of drugs. Don't get me wrong. But I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot and that kind of thing, it's costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people."

His people issued the mandatory no way after the comments were aired, but come on. I think the Reverend knows what he's talking about. At least this time.
