Dude!

Well he admitted it in his book.

I think those pictures show a regular cigarette, even though his body language implies otherwise. There are higher resolution ones at Time magazine.

And while it's kind of moot since he admitted to it, an image is very potent.

I'll file this in the 'who cares' column. Our current prez didn't deny alcohol abuse and cocaine, for crying out loud. Conservatives ignored this and liberals gave him a pass. He also skated by on the hypocrisy of possibly having committed any number of drug felonies (cocaine possession is much more serious than small amounts of MJ) without attempting to reform the 'war on drugs'. In some ways he is a walking example of the disparity in drug enforcement, where the rules are different depending on the social class of the accused.

Even if Obama got so baked that he shaved off 50 IQ points, he's still vastly more intelligent than the current occupant of the big house....er....White House.

Nobody in their right mind thinks this stuff should be illegal anymore.

Wait, what? It's a cigarette? Oh, hell no. Cigarettes are the devil.

You're almost disqualified to run for president if you DIDN'T smoke weed.

DanaC · 12-20-2008, 06:26 AM

Umm. My Dad smokes cigarettes like that. And I know he didn't smoke weed when he was young, because I persuaded him to try some a few years ago.

I love Obama's response to being asked if he inhaled. "I inhaled frequently. That was the point"

I like the vaguely "Panama Red" hat. Says it all.

Elspode · 12-20-2008, 07:48 PM

Good luck trying to find anyone with anything on the ball who didn't at least try the ganj at some point.

Still, that just looks like a regular cig to me.

SteveDallas · 12-20-2008, 08:05 PM

I never have. No, really, I haven't.

Maybe I should get my exploratory committee warmed up.

I reckon you should preserve yourself for your scarcity value, like an pristine pocket of an endangered ecosystem. You should fence yourself off and put up a sign, "No Weed Past This Point". Or maybe live in a bubble.

ETA, that's me in the tinfoil hat on account of my silly idea, not you.

Are you saying SteveDallas is like an uncontacted indigenous tribe?

Maybe the correct conclusion i that I don't have anything on the ball.

He's probably also a 'Whopper Virgin'.
