Friend Says Hillary Clinton Was 'an Enthusiastic Pot User' in Her Youth

Asked last month for her opinion of marijuana, Hillary Clinton told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, “I didn’t do it when I was young, I’m not going to start now.”

Not so fast, says Daniel Halper. In his new book Clinton, Inc., which hits bookshelves today, Halper quotes a friend and law-school classmate of the former first lady and New York senator who says: “I think she’s acknowledged it, and if she hasn’t acknowledged it everybody else will tell you: She was an enthusiastic pot user.”

A taste for THC seems to be a prerequisite for Democratic presidential contenders. As the Democrats’ nominee for president in 1992, Bill Clinton famously told reporters that he had “experimented with marijuana a time or two” but “didn’t inhale,” and David Maraniss’s biography Barack Obama: The Story, which chronicled the current president’s early years, revealed that the young Barack Obama was a ringleader of the self-styled “Choom Gang.” The youngsters “lit up some ‘sweet-sticky Hawaiian buds,’ and washed it down with ‘green bottle beer,’” wrote Maraniss, often inside an old Volkswagen bus they christened the “Choomwagon.”

obama broke the laws as a young man and has brought that habit into his presidency and surrounded himself with like minded individuals such as the low life holder.

Continuing to lie about whatever the topic is, if the truth is inconvenient.

HilLiary recently told her TV interviewer that she had not used pot in the past and didn't expect to use it going forward. She wasn't under oath but when compared with the info in the forthcoming book it means she chooses to continue to lie when she could have told the truth, or a partial truth without hurting herself.

Pantsuit on fire!
