For example, people of a certain age will remember when Bill Clinton stated that he’d “never broken a state law, but when I was in England, I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t inhale it and never tried it again.” George W. Bush and Barack Obama also publicly admitted to using marijuana during a time when all marijuana use was illegal. Book.html
