Kennedy has a lot more to answer for on health issues himself than being a supporter of a great big hog!
Heroin is some pretty heavy drugs!
Not like a joint.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was charged with heroin possession today, two days after he announced he was seeking treatment for a drug problem he said he was ''determined to beat.''
The single charge of heroin possession stemmed from an investigation that began Sunday when Mr. Kennedy was reported to have become ill in the washroom of an airliner that stopped in Rapid City.
Mr. Kennedy, the 28-year-old son of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 while seeking the Democratic Presidential nomination, declined medical treatment Sunday. The authorities obtained a search warrant and confiscated his flight bag to look for drugs.
''A small amount'' of heroin was found in the bag, State's Attorney Rod Lefholz said. The warrant against Mr. Kennedy was signed Thursday when test results were known. 'Best Medical Help' Sought
Mr. Kennedy, in a statement issued Wednesday through the office of his uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, said he had admitted himself to a hospital ''for treatment of a drug problem,'' and added, ''With the best medical help I can find, I am determined to beat this problem.''
According to Bill Walsh of Deadwood, S.D., a family friend, Mr. Kennedy was on his way to the Black Hills to seek help for drug dependency when he came under investigation Sunday.
Mr. Lefholz said he had been assured by Mr. Kennedy's attorney, John Fitzgerald of Rapid City, that Mr. Kennedy was in a drug treatment program and would make any necessary court appearances.
Based on those assurances, the prosecutor added, Mr. Kennedy was granted a personal recognizance bond. No court date was set, but Mr. Lefholz said, ''I expect it to be in the next few weeks.''
The charge is punishable by up to two years in prison. The prosecutor said that although the amount of heroin found in Mr. Kennedy's bag was minimal, ''Any amount of heroin is a felony in South Dakota.''
