Gary Johnson running as an example of what happens when you smoke pot.

He is really running to help the anti marijuana group. Now they can point to him as a prime example of what happens when you smoke pot. A very intelligent former governor, now he smoked one joint. And he can't remember, his mind is shot. Damn that pot.

Could be too, that he's missing some rungs on his ladder. Which is too bad cause his elevator doesn't go to the top.

Johnson stopped smoking before the election cycle, so maybe he's an example of what happens when you don't.

Libertarian Nominee Gary Johnson Answers Serious Question With Tongue Sticking Out (Video)

Presidential candidate confuses NBC News reporter with strange response

Brian Flood | September 23, 2016

In a recent interview with NBC News that was examined in depth on Friday’s installment of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Libertarian party presidential nominee Gary Johnson inexplicably stuck out his tongue during a serious conversation about the election.

The bizarre action wasn’t a simple gesture. Johnson literally stuck out his tongue, kept it out and attempted to answer Kasie Hunt’s query about whether he could pull even with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton if he were allowed to participate in Monday’s debate.

“I’m not gonna stand up there for the whole debate and not say anything, and (inaudible),” Johnson said with his tongue hanging out.

EVERY state it's on the ballot in. So if Gary Johnson is "helping" the "anti-marijuana group" (who? Private prison lobbyists? Fundamentalist Christians? The liquor and fentanyl industries?) it sure doesn't seem to be reflected in the polling.

It's not a done deal, but at least maybe it might be a wake-up call to the people in our party who still think the prohibition clock is stuck around 2003, as to where the electorate is actually headed...

and perhaps wise up accordingly.


Mmmmm, Just a thought.

Before joining the military, I was high just about every day between sophomore year and senior year, still got out with a 3.7 GPA and scored in the top ten on my SAT; while running two after school extracurriculars. If you can't balance life responsibilities and weed, that's on you, not the rest of us.
