Skip to the last 30 seconds. Dr. Paul is asked if he has ever smoked marijuana, and he says, "You know, this is the truth, and most people believe what I say. I have never seen anybody smoke marijuana, and I have never... never been in the same room with it."

The good doctor.

Of course, this could be the reason he loves chocolate chip cookies.

lulz, Ron would have been like..... Who is this clown? Haha

You've got to be kidding? "Clintonesque moment"????

It's not hard to believe at all that Ron Paul has never smoked pot.

 

[ForLiberty-RonPaul]

ya know what. I forgive Ron Paul for never ever smoking or being in a room with someone who smoked pot. He has seen more poon-tang than 95% of the guys on the planet.

Ron Rocks (in an OB/GYN kinda way)

He's seen people smoking marijuana on TV, I am sure.

There was no pot smoking in Dr. Zhivago

Ron isn't lying.
Though Ronald Reagen did sign one of Ron's photos to "Mary Jane".
Now figure that out.
I think its the photo of them on the airplane if someone can find it.

I'm with LE; I don't see this from any angle as being a Clinton-esque moment. We all know Ron's a straight up guy. If the man had smoked pot, guaranteed he'd admit it (and probably say he liked it ).

The majority of RPFers do NOT use marijuana. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=139822

I've never touched the stuff nor seen anyone else use it outside of TV.

The drug culture isn't American culture, but if you're an American in the drug culture (which is admittedly HUGE), it's easy to imagine how you could think otherwise.

How is that Clinton-esque? Clinton said: "I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it. I didn't inhale and never tried it again."

The impossibility isnt that someone could not have smoked pot, but that he could be "experimenting" yet not inhale. I can believe he's never smoked it, I know I've never.

Love those pants.

 

[Alawn]

Saying "I have never seen anybody smoke marijuana, and I have never... never been in the same room with it." means he has never tried it. How is anyone taking this to mean something else?

It's over. He's changed.

My guess is that this was a joke that Ron played on Reagan. Since Reagan was one of the founders and huge supporter of the war on drugs, i can imagine a younger Ron Paul having Reagan address his letter to mary jane as an inside joke he and a few other libertarians would enjoy.

I could be hugely mistaken though, but until proven otherwise, i like to imagine a younger Ron as a bit of a jokester like myself.

No joke, how could you "experiment" and not inhale? Maybe someone can inform me on this -- can you puff weed like you puff a cigar -- you know, all in the cheeks? Maybe that's what he meant.

Yep, he was pretty clear.

That's what I'm wondering...

Used to smoke it, saw people smoking it all the time. Quit 6 years ago, and oddly enough have not been around it or seen it since. Go figure.
