Gingrich advocated the death penalty for possession of 2 oz of pot

did everyone see UP this weekend? It's true. DP for importing 2 oz of pot with intent to distribute. He said all we'd have to do is kill about 30 people and the drug problem would be solved.

Wish someone would ask him about it. He also admitted he used pot in the day but it was okay becuase it was cool then.
