Hillary Flips on Pot

Published



When asked during a CNN interview with Christiane Amanpour last night whether she used drugs, Hillary Clinton was admirably firm. Had she done marijuana? “Absolutely not,” she replied. “I didn’t do it when I was young, I’m not going to start now.” She is, however, more wavering when it comes to exposing other people’s children to the impact of drug use.

While she opposed marijuana decriminalization during her first presidential run in 2007, by 2014, following the enabling by the Obama administration of legal, recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington, candidate Clinton is now more receptive to a drug experience.
