Schwarzenegger Joke? "Marijuana's Not a Drug"
Schwarzenegger Joke? "Marijuana's Not a Drug"

LONDON (AP) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says in the British version of GQ magazine that marijuana is not a drug -- but the governor's spokesman says the comments were made in jest.

Schwarzenegger told the magazine that he has not taken drugs -- even though the former bodybuilder and Hollywood star has acknowledged using marijuana in the 1970s and was shown smoking a joint in the 1977 documentary "Pumping Iron."

The magazine quotes Schwarzenegger as saying "that is not a drug. It's a leaf. My drug was pumping iron, trust me."

Schwarzenegger press secretary Aaron McLear says the governor made the comments in a lighthearted context, noting his interviewer was Piers Morgan, one of the judges on "America's Got Talent."

3. Was "pumping iron" the street name of some anabolic steroid?
I believe he's admitted to using those as well, hasn't he?
