WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama said he doesn't think marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol, "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer."

"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol," the president said an interview with "The New Yorker" magazine.

He was going around Honolulu permitting himself to be FELLATED by older white homoz in return for freebase cocaine.

His high-school yearbook dedication at Punahou read, "Thanks, Ray, for all the good times..."

Ray was an older white homosexual Honolulu drug-dealer who was later beaten to death by an angry male intimate.

“Middle-class kids don’t get locked up for smoking pot, and poor kids do … And African-American kids and Latino kids are more likely to be poor and less likely to have the resources and the support to avoid unduly harsh penalties.”

so where did they get the money for weed ?

Just because it rendered him brain dead we don’t have to feel sorry for him!

“Barry always had easy access to expensive freebase cocaine, and often showed off his intimacy with it. I always knew him as a homosexual”

Wouldn’t it be ‘funny’ if one day we found out that as Benghazi was happening, Barack was ‘completely unavailable’. Why? Maybe Barack was holed up somewhere in the West Wing waiting for Carney. You see, Jay Carney had been sent out into ‘the flatlands’ of Washington to score some shall we say, recreational refreshment for his master, Barack. “Do it like the last time, Jay, just put on your son’s school uniform and pretend you go to that Charter School.
And, don’t, and don’t you come back here, uh,uh, until you got some, are we clear on that Jay?

And when Benghazi was being attacked he didn’t want to interrupt his buzz.

Suppose it could have been both but, thinking he was more likely smoking pole, not pot.

Well if Barky would tell the whole truth he went a leetle farther than pot. I’m just worried that he’s still doing what he went a leetle farther on. A couple of those speeches he made he looked like he was on something.

I wonder how many thousands, perhaps millions, of mothers, especially black single mothers who have been trying to raise their kids with boundaries…..Do not smoke marijuana!…….are now told by their children…..”Well, the President says he smoked it and it is no different from drinking alcohol”……. That bastard president just made it a thousand times as difficult to raise that little black kid whole has all of the peer pressure on him, now the damn President has thrown in with those dope-using peers,….and that kids mother’s job of raising that kid has been multiplied because of what this jerk President said.

Wow. Most successful people leave marijuana behind after college. So Obama's use was not part of his "rebellious phase as a teen/young adult; rather he broke the law for a good chunk of his adult life.

Dems want pot legalization so our youths are as addle brained as Obungu figuring that such people will behave like lemmings and vote Democrat forever

Legalize the illegal aliens = More Democrat voters
Legalize marijuana = More Democrat voters
