EXPLOSIVE VIDEO: Malia Obama CAUGHT On Camera Smoking ‘Pot’

Mr Person said:
I suppose I should stay away from "Radar Online" if the comments section is any reflection on the people it caters to........

Examples:


Dagny McCarthy
Hussein al-Choom's daughter just following in his footsteps.

Rationalist X
Like father like daughter ...or as they say down the street from the WH, monkey see monkey do...

Andre Paquin
You can take them out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of them.

You know what's so screwed up about those comments? The hypocrisy of it all. I wonder just how many of the people who were so critical of her actually smoke pot themselves?

Most teenagers go through a rebellious stage. It happens. I seriously doubt any of us - especially those talking smack about this - were angels throughout there teenage years. If all the girl did was smoke some pot and dance her skinny butt off, I can cut her some slack despite the fact that she's the POTUS daughter. (She'll certainly get her butt chewed out not by Barack but Michelle!)
 
"Explosive video" ???? :doh:roll:

More like "Who the F__K Cares Video".

Your "bad" is making a big deal out of the silly idea that her health was somehow at risk and also in acting like the SS doesn't also have the candidate's political interests in mind....






Why mention things that don't appear to have happened?

And your bad is your apparent ignorance of the possible negative side effects of marijuana use, particularly first time use, and the prevalence of marijuana being laced with other hallucinogens and/or more dangerous drugs. So, no, it's not a bad thing to be concerned about the daughter of the President being exposed to drugs that weren't prescribed and/or legally procured. And yes, there are some people who've had serious reactions to illicit drugs, even marijuana, your naiveté notwithstanding.

Here's a little article for your edification - https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000952.htm

And no, I don't think the secret service should and does have Malia Obama's political interests in mind, let alone the political interests of her father who, in case you didn't notice, is no longer a candidate for anything. Secret service agents are not political agents and they are not employees of the person they are protecting. Unlike Kim Kardashian's security detail, the secret service has an entirely different role and one that serves the country, not the individual. Perhaps too many secret service agents hold your view of their responsibilities and that's why they're making so many mistakes.
 
explosive? Nearly half the people in the US have at some time in their live have used pot. So not really that explosive especially in a time when 53% of polled people said they favored legalizing it.
 
Its 2016, not the dark ages. Like anyone gives a crap, legalize and regulate, lets be done with this useless federal prohibition.
 
Mr Person said:
The point is...she did not violate a federal law if she temporarily possessed a joint on state land. That's just the way it is.


The federal drug laws dealing with activity only occurring within state bounds are manufacturing type offenses. That's only viable because of shakily reasoned Interstate Commerce Clause cases from the 30s addressing federal laws governing production of various grains within state, on the general reasoning that sufficient production affects commerce across state lines even if the activity only happens within them.

You can spin things all you want, but marijuana is stil a Fed. controlled substance and what she was against the law. All of the pro-pot apologetics in the world aren't going to change that.

I'll cut her some slack. She's just a young lady exploring her newfound freedoms. Beside, if I had her parents, I'd want to be as stoned as possible.

If that was the case, they would to toke much more than you.

True, but it is also approved for medical use in 25 states.

Yet again the FED has their nose in state business where they don't belong.

Hahahahaha you're adorable.

She's not going to get any negative side effects from a couple of tokes (your link says as much). And as for the dangers of weed being laced with other stuff? You could say the same about a granola bar (or a cup of beer).

She embarrassed her family. Her mother just said in a speech how proud she was of her daughter as a young black women and she does this crap? Nice role modeling Malia.

Laugh all you want. Seems to me, I'm one of the few here who actually believes that the secret service, charged with protecting the health and safety of Malia Obama, should actually do all they can to protect the health and safety of Malia Obama.

The pictures are quite fuzzy...so of course you'll assume that it's weed instead of being a cigarette, based on nothing more than if-the-name-Obama-is-included-we-must-assume-the-worst.

Personally, I see a teenager...being a teenager. If she DID smoke pot and twerk, if that's the worst she ever did, then considering what today's teenagers are like, the Obama's are pretty lucky indeed compared to most parents today.

And I'm quite confident you know that already.

Do people generally pass around cigarettes at a music festival?
 
I am more shocked that her parents let he go to Chicago, the murder capital of the country, and be out in a public place.

Isn't this at odds with what the DEA ruled today about MJ?
