Ha pretty funny stuff
I don't think he is a very comfortable person speaking publicly.
I'd also say... it's very likely he has smoked a bit too much in his lifetime given his interests and slips and personal agendas... I'd say Gore
has a bit of receptor blockage of the type that comes from only years on end of daily inhalation... I'm saying he has heard the words "hey in
football they pass" more than once in his life time.
This is his son... but like Father like son? Maybe
Now lets quote Gore
Gore said he used marijuana “when I came back from Vietnam, yes, but not”[a lot]. Gore said in 1987 that his use of marijuana, which began in
college, had been “infrequent and rare.” Pressed further, Gore said: “When I was young, I did things young people do. When I grew up I put away
childish things.”
I think we can all guesstimate that if he says... "I used to smoke" he had to have smoked so much it was a given it would come out if he didn't say
YES he did
In an interview with John Warneke, former friend and colleague of Gore at The Tennessean, the frequency of Gore's past marijuana use came into
question. In 1988, Al Gore called his friend John Warneke and asked him not to talk to the press about Gore's past drug use. Warneke stated,
"[Gore] called me three times in one morning and he said, 'Don't talk to the press at all about this.' That's a stonewall, and it's another
form of lying. But I couldn't do that. But I was torn. I felt a debt to The Tennessean, a paper that taught me everything about the truth. And I
had a friendship with Al. So I came up with this half-truth. And that was, that Al had tried it a couple of times with me and he didn't like pot."
Trapper: "So when did you and Gore smoke pot?" Warneke: "We started in 1970, I think. At my house in Nashville. He likes pot. He told me he
smoked it before. I smoked it with Al before he went to Vietnam. And he told me he smoked over there in Vietnam. But now that I know how Al talks
about it as opposed with what he really does, I don't know what to believe." Trapper: "But he was a senator's son at the time. Wasn't he
worried about being caught?" Warneke: "He was paranoid. When he smoked in my house he would run around in my house and he would close all the
blinds. If it was night he'd turn all the lights out. He's look out the windows and make sure that no one was watching. And then he would light
up. Talk about paranoia. We played pool in the dark once. That's how a senator's son smoked pot."
He liked it... I know few people who ever stop liking Pot even if they do... quitting for me personally means I don't smoke unless someone offers but
I don't buy, transport or deal with it... I too have grown up... BUT, lol when in Rome...
Warneke told DRCNet (www.drcnet.org) on January 20, 2000: "I have first hand knowledge that he has not told the truth about his drug use. Al Gore and
I smoked regularly, as buddies. Marijuana, hash. I was his regular supplier. I didn't deal dope, I just gave it to him. We smoked more than few
times...We smoked in his car, in his house, we smoked in his parent's house, in my house. We smoked on weekends. Al Gore and I were smoking marijuana
right up to the time he ran for Congress in 1976. Right up through the week he declared for that race, in fact."
Right up until he ran for congress haha
Now why put this in here?
What's my point?
Al Gore is a very easy person to figure out who he is and what he wants...
Is he really qualified NO, not to handle the Earths Environment...
But the guys heart is in the right place and he's not following some NWO agenda to take over the Earth and deprive us and enslave us
Everyone knows an Al Gore...
And I'd make a point... I can generalize who Al gore is very easily by his habits and the topics he cares for... Environment, Internet etc...
But i'm not saying NOT saying his habit was pro... anything
I think if he had really laid off...
He could have won, i'm sorry but his speeches are abysmal and he has no passion in his voice and no physicality and it probably cost him the
election... Charisma matters...
I'd trust Al Gore by thinking more than most politicians...
But I feel, he kept his habit and it's been a handicap...
The kind of verbal slips of the tongue he makes...
The inability to portray emotionally... he does, he comes off ... a bit burnt if you ask me...
A pity... like I said, I think his heart is in the right place...
and i'm pretty sure after his son got busted

when his Dad asked
"where did you learn how to do this son"
The response was
"From you Dad I learned it from you"
