from the article -

"I became sort of a hero of the hippie culture, I guess, when I said I think we ought to decriminalize the possession of marijuana," Robertson said,




He also just said that people shouldn't live anywhere in the country that has tornadoes b/c god is going to make tornadoes and hurricanes to let the earth let off steam.
