Presidential pot trajectory

Tweet 1988:  A serial liar, bomber, drug dealer, and criminal claims, without any corroborating evidence, that he sold pot to Vice Presidential candidate Dan Quayle.  Despite these allegations (which were almost certainly false), the Bush-Quayle ticket wins. 1992:  Governor William Jefferson Clinton contends that, while he put a joint to his lips and allow smoke [...]
