OBAMA SMOKED MARIJUANA?


I used this picture, beacuse I think it is hilarious, and it looks real. I think it is weird how anyone in the government 30 years ago would never admit to have used drugs, specifically marijuana, "the devil's grass" as misleading government propaganda would have us believe. There were cartoons and commercials explaining that if you smoke marijuana you would attack your brother with an axe, or that you would cheat on your wife. The fact of the matter is that there has never been a case of murder, or death in a car crash caused by a person solely under the influence of marijuana.

I think now that society has opened up a little bit in realizing that there are millions of people in The United States that use marijuana. Some use it for medicinal reasons, however the majority use it for recreational purposes. In 1992 Bill Clinton, admitted to using marijuana in England, however his famous claim was, "I didn't inhale." How can you smoke marijuana if you didn't inhale, doesn't make much sense. Many people criticized Clinton for being a liar, and not having the guts to admit that he smoked marijuana. Other politicians, as the years have passed are more open to admit that they have tried marijuana. Check out this video showing the Clinton interview where he admits to trying, but not inhaling marijuana, as well as an Anderson Cooper interview of different Senators, where it shows John Kerry admitting that he used marijuana. In the end of the video it shows the interview with Barack Obama admitting that he to, had tried marijuana. The funny comment to note is when Obama said, "I inhaled frequently. That was the point." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBzQI_7ez8 . I liked this video because it gives a different side proving that Presidents and important politicians are normal. In this case, they are normal because they have tried drugs, as the majority of Americans have.
