Home secretary: I smoked cannabis

[AnyOldIron II]

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has admitted she smoked cannabis while she was at Oxford University in the 1980s.

Her disclosure came the day after Prime Minister Gordon Brown said she would head a review of UK drugs strategy - including reviewing the cannabis laws.

And they try to convince us that cannabis will destroy your life or damage your reasoning abilities....

Well she is a politician ?
I would have to smoke a bunch before I would take a job in politics.

Well, i know they'll say anything to court popularity with the youth vote, but i feel a politician will only recieve genuine 'street credibility' when they admit to a serious crack habit.

 

[uscitizen]

I think our President already has one.

He sure acts brain fried from something.

Well beddy bye all, for 4 hours anyway....

Oops! For me it's a control thing. I'm just not interested, but I don't care if people around me use it.

Why...paranoid?

Think about the people you've known in your life who haven't at least tried marijuana, and are adament about it.

Are those the same people you want leading the nation?

You do?

Well, I don't know about Home Minister, but we might need to have a competency hearing about your moderator status here.

No, I did. An actual youthful indescretion. I stopped when I joined the military and haven't gone back.

Oh, well, you can keep your position then.

Me too, but I didn't stop because I went into the military. I just didn't like it anymore.

Cawacko, that's because you're a drinker. That's what drinkers say, don't trust people who don't drink. Pot smokers say the same thing about people who don't smoke pot.
