Tony Bennett: ‘Legalize Drugs’
By Steve Bloom of CelebStoner
Singer Tony Bennett is catching flak for his public statement made from the stage in the Beverly Hillls Hilton just hours after Whitney Houston died on Saturday.
“I’d like to have every gentleman and lady in this room commit themselves to get our government to legalize drugs,” the 85-year-old crooner commented, “so they have to get it through a doctor, not just some gangsters who sell it under the table… Let’s legalize drugs like they did in Amsterdam. No one’s hiding or sneaking around corners to get it. They go to a doctor to get it.”
