Sarah Palin smoked legal marijuana, why can't you?

Too bad, so sad, can't smoke weed no more because it makes my blood pressure go way too high. Heh, pun not intended. :-)

But wow, Palin's a stoner? That explains a lot...

don't bogart that joint my freind,pass it over to me

i don't even care who wins the election anymore

but if mcain wins he better for the love of god stay alive

if he dies i swear i will go on hunger strike until palin gets impeached

I can't stand that federal law can supersede state laws enacted by the people.
I believe the states should be allowed to decide without the Federal government interfering.

When the sick and dying use it LEGALLY in states with Medical Marijuana laws the DEA uses federal law to arrest them.

How can she claim it was "legal" when the sick and dying can't even mention medical use as defense in federal courts?

Sarah Palin admitted to breaking federal drug laws!
Even if its "Legal" in Alaska its still Illegal federally!

She should be treated the same as the other 800,000
Non-Violent cannabis offenders arrested every year.

I wonder where she would be right now if she had been imprisoned and charged with felony possession of a controlled substance like the rest of us?

The way to legalize marijuana is by countless people purposely getting arrested all at one time for smoking until the jails are 110% maxed out with stoned people and many still coming in. This will blow the message right in the mans face til he himself becomes high.

If the gov't legalizes and sells pot chances ar that they'll put nicotine in it same as they do for tocabbo; but that's why you grow your own.

Sidenote - regardless of the canibus plant it's sister plant hemp needs to be legalized for the sake of our economy and our planet.

Personally, I don't think that Palin is a good candidate at all. First she says she supports her 17 year old daughters pregnancy then she seem to have a goo shot. And now she doesn't think that legalizing marijuana is a good idea because she doesn't want it to have and effect on her children after she smoked weed herself? It appears she's been making too many mistakes that she cannot afford to make in this historical election. McCain made a bad choice. Also, just because she has the money and want to be the next Dick Cheney with those guns doesn't mean she shouldn't get arrested. But I do agree that legalizing marijuana is a bad idea, companies and manufacturers would start putting different chemicals in it and sell it for higher prices then what they get now. It would be horrible for all pot smokers around the U.S.

Great post! If it's legal to have an ounce in Alaska, it should be legal in the rest of the country, right? Let's see if she address' this issue.

God(or whom ever did) put it here for a reason.

My conversations at work tomorrow just got exponentially more interesting!! :-)

This reminds me of Palin's statement that it was her daughter's choice to keep her baby, yet she wants to take that choice away from other women... what a hypocrite!

PS - Jack Herer RULES!!! I've been a long time supporter and fan!! Thank you Jack for all you do!

i think the word hypocrite is not enough. this is so crazy. and -it was not on this forum but it was on the link- im so tired of the if you dont like it leave mentality. i like the Jack Herer take on it much more. if you dont like it change it. this guy has done so much towards legalizing cannabis, that all those that are pro-cannabis and like where this issue is heading in our country-for the better-owe it to themselves to follow in his footsteps. if you truly are for the legalization of cannabis, then its time you put your money/action where your mouth is and join the fight.

The amount of controversy surrounding this "hockey mom" from Alaska is unbelievable.

Awesome article. This is probably one of the best tidbits on Sarah Palin that I've seen surface as of late.

The main stream media needs to cover this. Palin & the GOP are hypocrites. The war on drugs must come to an end. Let us legalize and tax marijuana. The time is now.

Hey Olberman, with all these new lies, you are going to be BROKE!

One of the very few things about which Palin has been honest!

I always thought Wild Bill was extra special for finding it necessary to tell us the lie that he wasted perfectly good weed just puffing the blunt sans inhaling. Sweet cheese on a cracker! What's the point of toking if you ain't gon' inhale? And, if you're toking, what is the point of lying about it?

But, now I have to wonder what Palin's primo must have been laced with, because she's awfully cerebrally damaged to have just hit the blunt. There was some PCP, Meth, Drane-O, something all up in that cakemix. Ol' girl comes off as gone an awful lot for just weed.

I can't believe no one else is talking about this. This is why Current rocks!

What is really scary is that Palin sees no problem with being super moral when she sees fit and immoral when it suites her political ends.

It is very clear that the Republican party has no problem being totally irresponsible having this stupid hockey mom a heartbeat away from being the president. We should all be wary of the GOP since it seems they are willing to place our country at grave risk just to win an election.

I believe we are at a frightening juncture in our country's history.
