What an absurd thing for Biden to do.

Somebody needs to tell him he’s making a fool of himself. It would not be possible to staff the White House with people who had never smoked marijuana. Polls indicate that about 22% of people under 30 admit to smoking marijuana currently.

Far higher numbers of people admit to having smoked marijuana at some point.

And as pretty much every American knows, the percentage of people who admit to having once smoked marijuana is significantly lower than people who have actually smoked it at some point.

When I lived in New York City, for example, in my twenties and thirties and worked as an IT professional, literally almost everyone I knew sometimes smoked.

We’re going to exclude all those people from high level political jobs?

Sorry, but that’s irrational and, really, just plain stupid.
