...QUAYLE has a drug record. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigated him while he was a U.S. Senator, finding him innocent. In 1988, members of President Bush's campaign hid the fact that Quayle had a DEA file from the then-vice president while he was considering Quayle as a running mate.

Marijuana is now a Schedule I drug, like heroine, meaning it cannot be used medically except in special circumstances because of its supposed dangerous side effects.
