Default Barack Obama Quote on his past marijuana use

Junkie. That's where I'd been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn't been about me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn't make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate's sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you'd met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection. And if the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly and see through all the hypocrisy and bullshit and cheap moralism.
Source: Dreams from My Father, by Barack Obama, p. 87 Aug 1, 1996


haha wow.. For those who are or arent supporters of Barack Obama what do you think about this?

I'd say that he came to weed with a very negative mindset. If you use recreational drugs to help you forget what a loser you are, you become a bigger loser and your life begins to center around drugs. If you use them responsibly, moderately, and at appropriate times they can be life-enhancing.

As with a lot of things, the mindset you have towards them is much more significant than the things themselves.

The majority of people who use cannabis are not disaffected. They're just people who like to get high on occasion.

That's one of the positive aspects of being a marijuana user! If I couldn't laugh at the incredibly screwed-up human condition, I'd probably want to kill myself.

Interesting quote if anything. I'm not big on Obama, although I don't know too much about him. I think he is a decent enough guy, at least more than most, and I am glad he isn't denying any past marijuana/drug use at least.

I just thought I'd bring this up as a matter of discussion. With the American voter being the way that they are, do you really think someone named Barrack Hussien Obama is going to be elected to the White House? Half the people in this country thinks he's a muslim. His name rhymes with Osama. Some black people feel he isn't black enough and some white people feel he is too black. Other than a curiousity, can he be an effective candidate?

i agree with you and i thought his answer to the marijuana question was truthful..and i in no way see it as a negative. he did weed and cocaine too, who knows what else he tried. point is barack obama doesnt support the war on drugs, but obviously hes not going to say that in public...maybe after hes elected..which he prolly wont. i really want him to team up with clinton tho cuz shes gonna win most likely. then it would be them versus rudy and some other shmuck all the women and black voters would vote for clinton obama. and the rest of the people that vote that way are added to them, and u got a for sure win.. the intersection (Women voters U black voters) yields better chance of winning

but obama will not run with hillary which is a shame cuz hes not going to win unless something big happens. i heard clinton gonna run with some non popular guy whos to her right on the war. anyway im rambling..

If she offers him the VP spot, he had better take it as it will be a long time before anyone else offers it to him.

well he may have had some of the worng reasons in the beginning or at some parts of his life, but ide say he came through it pretty well.

and of all the other canidates ide have to say im in favor of him, he seems to be honest enough, even when its gonna be bad and thats what we need, anyone can tell good news but we want someone to tell us the bad news too, not hide it. i think we have had enough of that.

and the one thing that people bash on him for in not having "experience" i say thats a good thing because he isnt in the good ole boy network hes new so he can change things and has in my feeling a lesser chance ot be swayed. i dont know just my thaughts...

I agree with you gravity.

He is going to decriminalize marijuana use. But he is not in favor of legalizing it. And in one of his speeches he did say that the war on drugs is not working and needs to be changed.
