Palin inhaled, but still wants to jail you for inhaling

"Palin has said she doesnâ??t support legalizing the drug, fearing the message it would send to her five children."

And that message would be what, â??Donâ??t smoke marijuana kids, you might grow up to be mayor, governor, and a vice-presidential candidate some day?â?� Considering the unplanned pregnancy of the unmarried teenage daughter of the Alaska governor who would outlaw all abortions, even in cases of rape, incest, or the motherâ??s health in danger, this Alaska governor who would mandate abstinence-only sexual education for your kids needs to work on her own messaging to her kids before she casts aspersions on the message of legalized marijuana.

Sarah Palin had the good fortune to be in Alaska, where personal marijuana use is a privacy right under the state constitution. She didnâ??t face arrest for her personal use in her youth. Had she been arrested, sheâ??d have a criminal drug conviction on her record. That would have made it much more difficult for her to become mayor or governor - instead of VP nominee Palin, sheâ??d be PTA Hockey Mom Palin still scratching out a living as a small-town Alaskan sportscaster.

Donâ??t think Iâ??m giving the Democrats a pass on this, either. If Barack Obama had been arrested for his personal use of marijuana (and cocaine) in his youth, instead of the first African-American presidential nominee, heâ??d be Barry the Janitor.

So you're saying that people can't try marijuana in their youth and believe it's bad when they're an adult? Maybe her experience wasn't so good with it.

I want legalization for cannabis but I don't think this makes her a hypocrite.
