Did he inhale? Marco Rubio won't say whether he ever smoked marijuana

MIAMI - Sen. Marco Rubio is declining to say whether he ever smoked marijuana.

The Florida Republican and potential presidential candidate dodged a direct question at an education forum Monday, saying his own drug experience is irrelevant.

In his words: "If I tell you that I haven't, you won't believe me. And if I tell you that I did, then kids will look up to me and say, 'Well, I can smoke marijuana because look how he made it.'"

Rubio opposes legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. He said like most teenagers he made dumb decisions when he was younger, and he said he didn't need the help of marijuana or alcohol to further that.

1. HA!

SUCH a loser!!!

[JustAnotherGen]

2. He smoked weed

Totally. And he smoked himself stupid to boot!

[alfredo]

7. The stupid was from huffing paint.

[olddad56]

17. he is a republician, if he did smoke, he must not have inhaled.

because if had gotten high a few times, he would have realized how fucked up republican politicians are. He was probably more of a drunk than a pot smoker.

[Skittles]

21. that assessment wins you a heart

yes INDEED

[JustAnotherGen]

22. Thanks!

Anyone who has seen the movie Half Baked knows what word I really wanted to use but that was only okay in the 90's and is only funny when Chappelle says it.

For anyone whose seen it and can "relate": let's start tweeting Rubio quotes from the movie. . .

Mary Jane! Her name is Mary Jane!
Whose with me?
The thing about Killer is his mother was a three legged . . .
There's only one thing I love more than weed . . .

[Politicalboi]

3. And the drug war marches on in the GOP

Good! The people of Florida want it to be legal for the most part. Remember, just say NO! Rubio, you're used to that.

[TlalocW]

4. That means he did

Otherwise, he would just say that he never did, but he can't otherwise his college roommate is going to go on television and talk about all the times they got stoned together.

And it will probably come out that he did, and he'll have to admit it, but unlike everyone else that he wants to penalize for smoking it, what he did was "experiment" with it.

[okaawhatever]

5. Seriously Marco. Man up. Did you or didn't you. It's not the end of the world. nt

[WhoWoodaKnew]

6. I've got a few good jokes (I do stand up) but I just told one...

in another thread and it didn't go well. I'm gonna pass.

[TeamPooka]

8. Rubio refuses to offer kids who smoke weed hope they can "make it" in society. nt

[Blue Owl]

9. Cottonmouth often causes one to clumsily grab a glass of water

n/t

[Marie Marie]

10. Cottonmouth...

[Spirochete]

19. Or one of those little bottles

not much bigger than one of my insulin vials. Probably sell for 4 dollars, though...

[blkmusclmachine]

11. Uh, oh!

[Javaman]

12. meh, who cares. Just ask him how old he thinks the earth is...

that's enough for me.

[grahamhgreen]

13. Then the follow up is should he turn himself in for every instance and demand jail time? Or, does

he not believe in the rule of law?

He is ruining peoples lives by giving them criminal records for something he himself did.

[jmowreader]

14. "No sir. I never smoked marijuana. Huffing Lysol and shoe glue is plenty good for anyone."

[alittlelark]

15. Sounds like he wants to criminalize kids that did the same thing he did...........

ASSHOLE.

[demosincebirth]

16. If he won't say, he did.

[Orsino]

31. Means he's afraid to deny it, because someone may have proof. n/t

[SamKnause]

18. It matters little if he did, or did not.

It is apparent the man is delusional if he thinks kids look up to him.

[DeSwiss]

20. K&R

[cyberswede]

23. I don't care if he did smoke weed...I'd still never vote for him. LOL

[Tom Ripley]

24. Don't flatter yourself; no kids look up to you, Marco

[Incitatus]

25. Except for the ones shorter than him. nt

[Tom Ripley]

29. LOL!

[aquart]

26. So he was an idiot cold sober?

I've noticed that about him.

[PeoViejo]

27. ...

"he made dumb decisions when he was younger, and he said he didn't need the help of marijuana or alcohol to further that. "


" I don't need drugs to get stupid; I'm already there."

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

28. I remember when Al Gore was asked if he smoked marijuana

He said that he had. When some Republicans tried to make something of it, his campaign manager said something along the lines of "News Flash! College student smoked pot in the 1960s! Dozens amazed!"

[3catwoman3]

30. Theme and variation...

...of the old saw, "Not to decide is to decide.

Rubio version - Not to deny is to admit

[Pterodactyl]

32. What a loser! I'd never vote for a druggie!

[truthisfreedom]

33. Wrong answer!

Idiot.

[Orsino]

34. What a weakling.

He's telling us that he would like to lie and say he didn't, but worries that it could be proven that he did. Profiles in lack of courage.
