Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: 'I Don't Care' If a President Smokes Pot, 'It's Fine with Me

Although nearly all the major studies on habitual marijuana use show a strong link between its consumption and mental illness, including schizophrenia, and violence, House Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said it's perfectly fine if a president of the United States smokes dope because "you're not hurting anybody." The 29-year-old self-declared socialist added, "yeah, I don't care."

At the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, Feb. 12, TMZ caught up with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and asked her about Democratic presidential candidates admitting to having smoked marijuana.

She said, “We just need to accept that there is nothing more inherently damaging about marijuana than, say, legal substances like alcohol or anything else."

"So, I’m glad that we’re moving towards a more just position as a party and that we’re moving to legalize marijuana," said the congresswoman, "but not just legalize marijuana but to really make up for the damages done by the war on drugs and the people that were unjustly incarcerated by the war on drugs.”

TMZ then asked, “Would it be okay to have a president that says they do smoke [marijuana]?”

She's OK with the holder of the highest office in the nation breaking an existing federal law! Sounds like she has no place to criticize anything that the president does any longer!

"Occasional Cortex" blathering on yet again. In moments like this when I feel the 1st Amendment should not apply to all. Especially Socialist idiots.

She is the reason only land owners should be allowed to vote! I have found clams and oysters smarter than her.

I would rather have the president utilize cannabis to relax than drink alcohol. People make really dumb decisions when they are drink. Get off the refer madness. Your archaic beliefs are slowly dying with your generation.
