A video has come out of Malia Obama smoking pot at Lollapalooza.

My response:

You go girl!

Would you say the same to her Secret Service detachment that is responsible for her safety?

Absolutely not, they are working and on the clock
As to being at a music festival on vacation and partaking in smoking, much ado about nothing

What does that have to do with smoking weed?

Or are you saying that her being at Lollapalooza was a safety risk in the first place?

Also, smoking weed recreationally is legal in several states now.

But not Illinois where this incident was caught on tape. How good a job is her protective detail doing by allowing her to puff on a joint potentially laced with who knows what... we are paying these people to do a job.

Will you say, "you go girl!" when she's doing Ecstasy... how about Spice? How about Black Tar?

Ask her Mom if she appreciates your encouragement.

Give me an effing break!

I smoke weed.

It's not a "gateway drug." It's the khaki pants of drugs.

The ecstasy/spice/black tar slippery slope argument is total B.S.

She is a legal adult.
Ayecarumba, I don't understand your outrage unless you are an adult living in your Mom's basement with a Mother running your adult life
I hope you are not one of those guys that goes to your adult friends mother to tattle-tale

I go to music festivals
I smoke weed, its no big deal.
She is doing what I do at music festivals
I also work hard, have a good job, pay my taxes and have never taken a govt handout
Its much ado about nothing

Doesn't matter if she is legal age if she is not paying her own way yet and I'm betting she's not.

Our house our rules. (there's a technicality being the White House, but you know what I'm saying.)

Obama's won't wink and nod at the daughters doing it, I don't think, no matter how hip they are.

Yeah, I know some parents who do, but I don't think the Obama's are those parents, especially not in the public eye.

It does matter that she is legal age. Betty Ford was of legal age and was an addict under secret service protection

I'm saying it doesn't matter to her parents that she is of legal age if they are paying her way. That's what I think. They can't stop her, but they won't be approving.

Obama has already proven he doesn't want to be the "Weed President". Gay President yes, Healthcare yes, Weed President no.

If you know any heroin addicts, ask them how they got started. The ones that I know started with weed. The slope might not be slippery for everyone, but the gutter in front of the crackhouse is full of folks whose spiral down started with weed.
