Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush admitted on the GOP debate stage Wednesday night that he smoked marijuana decades ago.
"Forty years ago I smoked marijuana and I admit it," Bush said at the Ronald Reagan Presiential Library. "I'm sure that other people might have done it and might not want to say it in front of 25 million people."
He tacked on a comment that his mother, former First Lady Barbara Bush, would not be pleased about the admission: "My mom's not happy that I just did."
Moments later, Jeb Bush's official twitter account tweeted out an apology to his mother:

You just know he’s hoping this admission will make him look more cool with the youth crowd. Everything’s calculated.
To: jimbo123
that’s the exact kind of a statement from a candidate desperately searching for relevancy ... Yeb Bush is finished ...
To: jimbo123
Damn! The elites always get to experiment. I never did in large part because I saw the lives of so many friends back in the 60’s and 70’s ruined by ‘experimental’ drug use.
Hope you didn’t inhale, Jeb.

"Forty years ago I smoked marijuana and I admit it," Bush said Big deal.
So did Rand Paul. And then he chugged the bong water.

“Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush admitted on the GOP debate stage Wednesday night that he smoked marijuana decades ago.”
Must explain the lack of energy. It finally caught up to him.
