From pothead to POTUS

As you may have seen everywhere else on the internet a new biography of Barack Obama calls him out for his days as high school stoner. Not only was a heavy user but he had a habit of intercepting joints and trying to get the maximum high from every hit.

The Taiwanese animated news show have got in on the act.

Penn Jillette has a few strong words about how Barry the bogart’s current prohibitionist policies are an outrageous betrayal the current generation of young African Americans. Not to mention millions of medical marijuana patients suffering in the latest wave of federal persecution of the perfectly legal state medical marijuana industry.

When Obama became president, people thought his openness about previous drug use might lead to sane and sympathetic policies. It never happened in his first term, optimists seem to think that a second term might see a more enlightened President. What are they smoking?
