Norm vs. NORML
When Republican Sen. Norm Coleman came out against legalizing marijuana, there was one person more surprised than most: the dude he used to smoke doobies with.
Norm Kent, an attorney and NORML board member, says that he toked with Coleman on many occasions during the duo's antiwar days at Hofstra University.
So in a scathing yet jovial open letter posted on the website celebstoner.com, Kent called out the senator on his dope-dissing duplicity:
"How about admitting that if the Rockefeller drug laws were applied to Norman Bruce Coleman on Long Island in 1968, or to me, or to our friends and fellow students, you, I, and others we knew and loved might just be getting out of jail now?"
Coleman did not return calls requesting comment, so we'll let Coleman-from-1969 do the talking, via a letter to the campus newspaper when he was promoting his run for student senate: "I know these conservative kids don't fuck or get high like we do."
