>GORE DENIES MARIJUANA SMOKING
>
>DAVENPORT, Iowa--Al Gore denied on Monday that he had smoked marijuana
>regularly, even daily, with a Tennessee friend as late as 1976 as the
>man now contends.
>
>The question came up when a reporter said to Gore at a diner: "It's
>been reported that after you came back from Vietnam you were smoking
>on a daily basis."
>
>Gore responded, "No. When I came back from Vietnam, yes, but not to
>that extent. ... This is something I dealt with a long time ago. It's
>old news."
>
>Gore said in 1987, during the 1988 presidential campaign, that he had
>used marijuana on infrequent occasions, the last time about 1972.
>
>The Tennessee man, John Warnecke, was quoted by the online magazine
>Salon. He said he had covered up for Gore in the past but wanted to
>set the record straight. He still plans to vote for Gore, he said.
