The Daily Mail's David Martosko asked 10 potential GOP presidential candidates whether they had smoked pot. Cruz's camp was one of seven to respond, and the only one to offer new details on their boss' past drug use.
"Teenagers are often known for their lack of judgment, and Sen. Cruz was no exception," the spokesperson told the paper. "When he was a teenager, he foolishly experimented with marijuana. It was a mistake, and he's never tried it since."
Last week, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) told the Boston Globe that he, too, had experimented with marijuana in high school.
“I drank alcohol and I smoked marijuana when I was at Andover,” Bush, who is "actively" exploring a 2016 bid, said. "It was pretty common."

What was done as a teenager or young adult while in college should have no bearing.
So did OBAMA and 95% of ALL politicians. .
Bill Clinton and Obama have both admitted to smoking marijuana when younger not a big deal in my opinion
Every honest politician born in the 50's or after should probably say yes.
I know "honest politician" is an oxymoron so good luck on finding out the actual truth.
Obama was a crackhead

What is he now? The president? Alright.
Oh my. Oh my. Is that supposed to mean something?
Muslim for sure! !
And the point of this is?
who didn't? presbo ALSO SMOKED POT SO WHAT?
But Billy Boy didn't inhale 9:58.
It would be hard to find someone under the age of 45 who hasn't atleast tried it.
I smoked pot too in the early 70's, whats your point? Good thing I am not running for office.
We have a Muslim drug dealer in the White House.
Wow. If pot smokers are so lazy and indifferent, how did so many of them rise to positions of such power and authority?
Answer? With alcohol.
AND, I suppose, on second thought, that politicians have never been the sharpest knife and certainly don't believe in working hard, except when it comes to taking more of our money.
THEN, they are work harder than Hercules in the stables.....
Didn't we all?
so did I. so what?
