There are countless issues one can find to blast Obama over but smoking dope is hardly one of them.
Again... FACTS...
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A long-term study of Swedish men finds that those who smoked marijuana at age 18, especially the heaviest users, were more likely to end up on the nation's disability rolls by age 59.
It's unclear whether the pot use in adolescence may have led to more severe substance abuse or was an early sign of psychiatric or social factors that contributed to later disability, the researchers caution.

Obama smoked heavily at age 18 he said so!
At 53 Obama is NOW at the age where heaviest users are beginning to see the affects.
And this is the guy with his finger on the trigger.... GREAT!!!
Can you post a link where Obama said he was a heavy pot smoker? Not saying you are full of bullshit and a dirty liar, I just want proof.
In his new biography “Barack Obama: The Story,” to be published next month but widely excerpted in the press,
David Maraniss of the
Washington Post details Obama’s marijuana smoking when the future president was a high school student in Hawaii.
With a group of friends who called themselves “The Choom Gang” (mostly basketball buddies) the future president rode around in a VW van or hung out at a favorite island spot up Mount Tantalus on
Oahu, smoking marijuana and sometime drinking beer.
"They parked single file on the grassy edge, turned up their stereos playing
Aerosmith,
Blue Öyster Cult, and
Stevie Wonder, lit up some 'sweet-sticky Hawaiian buds,' and washed it down with 'green bottled beer' (the Choom Gang preferred
Heineken, Beck's, and St. Pauli Girl)," Mr. Maraniss writes. "No shouting, no violence, no fights; they even cleaned up their beer bottles. This was their haven, in the darkness high above the city and the pressures of Punahou” – the private college-prep school Obama attended from fifth grade through graduation in 1979.
As a secondary school pupil in Honolulu, Hawaii, in the late 1970s, Mr Obama is said to have been a member of the "Choom Gang", a group of boys who played basketball and choomed, or smoked dope.
"Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends," according to David Maraniss, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. "The first was called 'TA,' short for 'total absorption'." Mr Obama's favoured technique is described as "the antithesis" to Mr Clinton's eyebrow-raising claim to have barely participated in – and certainly not enjoyed – smoking the drug as a Rhodes scholar at University College from 1968 to 1970.
Any Choom Gang members caught daring to exhale before absorption was total "were assessed a penalty" and faced being "skipped the next time the joint came around," according to 'Barack Obama: The Story'.
All told, the future president is said to have been a bit of a drag. "When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted 'Intercepted!,' and took an extra hit," said Maraniss.
