Once we had all reached the marijuana fields on that hot day, the press was allowed a photo opportunity… Barry Inman was the only one I saw with a machete, which he happily wielded on plant after plant…
“I love it,”Barry told a reporter in our group as he worked with his machete. “Being able to take something illegal from somebody and getting the dope off the streets is a good feeling,” he explained. He said further that he hated marijuana although he had never smoked it and did not claim to know much about it.
