Gingrich urges change in drug laws urged to legalize or harsh penalties
Newt Gingrich told a GOP gathering in Philadelphia that the United States must stop delaying drug policy. He proposed either legalizing illegal drugs or imposing draconian penalties including the death penalty for large drug importers and two days of public service weekly for buyers. He warned against political games and said a ballot measure could force Congress to adopt a decisive program. White House adviser Lee Brown dismissed the idea as simplistic.
