In 1996, Dole paid a visit to the Chaminade High school in California and gave a speech about drugs. In it, he said that the film industry glorified and romanticized drug use, and specifically called out Pulp Fiction.

Tarantino fired back with a retort that suggested if Dole had actually watched the film, he’d have noticed that there’s nothing romantic about the OD scene- it’s more disturbing than anything. He demanded an apology and never got one.
