Sarah Palin admitted to smoking pot when she was younger. What’s your point?

Answer by The Planet
Obama was a teen when he experimented with drugs. He was never a “drug addict” and had no need to go to rehab. Palin admits to smoking pot and McCain’s wife stole drugs from a children’s hospital to feed her drug addiction. Is this really a topic you want to keep bringing up?
