Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"Drugs can, if properly used, protect our health, prolong our life, reduce much pain and suffering."

"Improperly used, drugs can cause great injury and do great harm."

"The development of safe and effective drugs has brought more progress in the past few decades than in all the centuries before on reducing human suffering and on conquering human disease."

"There are a number of principles that I think you ought to follow in your deliberations: First, hold no program sacred."
