Actor-turned-California Governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER has sparked controversy after claiming marijuana is not a drug.
The Terminator star, 60, made the bizarre statement in a recent interview with men's magazine GQ - despite previously admitting to having smoked the illegal substance in the 1977 bodybuilding documentary, Pumping Iron.
He says, "I didn't take any drugs. That (marijuana) is not a drug. It's a leaf.
"My heart was pumping iron, trust me."
While marijuana for medical reasons is permitted in California, those found to be in possession of a small amount of the drug face a misdemeanour charge and a maximum $100 (GBP50) fine.
