Act of 1997", which "mandates that a person convicted of bringing into the
United States '100 usual dosage amounts' of several illicit substances --
including two ounces of marijuana -- be sentenced to federal prison for life
without parole; a second offense brings the death penalty."

# reconnaissance and satellites and area surveillance and listening
# posts...and call the National Guard to move in," said Presidential
# candidate Bob Dole.
#

# going to replace the President's inattention to dangerous drugs with a
# clear and forceful policy of zero tolerance."

# "ZERO TOLERANCE for drug smugglers. ZERO TOLERANCE for drug pushers.
# ZERO TOLERANCE for drugs in the workplace and drugs in school. And
# ZERO TOLERANCE for illegal drugs, period."
#
# "ZERO! ZERO! ZERO!"
#
# "We will REDOUBLE our efforts to put drug criminals behind bars."
#
# "We will only appoint judges who will throw them in jail."
Thank Gawd he didn't become President.
