Poland's Janusz Palikot Tries To Smoke Pot In Parliament

The leader of a new left-wing party in Poland threatened to light up a joint in Parliament on Friday – but just burned incense instead.

Janusz Palikot is campaigning to get soft drugs legalized and to otherwise liberalize the conservative country.

"We're trying to get into room 143 to burn some grass, in accordance with our announcement," Palikot told reporters in a news conference held in his Parliament office.

Palikot's plan, however, put him on a collision course with the speaker, Ewa Kopacz, who vowed not to let him break the law in parliament.
