A new book coming out on June 19^th chronicles the life of President Obama, including some stories about his enthusiastic and often controlling use of marijuana as a High School student in Hawaii. If the stories are true, not only was Barry Obama a lover of the ganja back then, he was also the dominant figure in his group of friends, and often a controlling one at that.

Barry and his “Choom Gang” were a group of pot smokers, and as leader, Barry was the trend setter. He started “roof hits” (hotboxing a car) and would also “intercept” hits at different places in the rotation, stealing an extra puff, something considered a breach of rotation etiquette in most places today. Maybe it was then too and Barry was just so dominant in his group that no one called him on it.

After all, it takes a certain amount or arrogance to run for political office, and even more to run for and become President of the United States. Not everyone has that ability, or the confidence to try to lead massive groups of people.

But all this brings up the question: why is Barry so against marijuana now? It obviously didn’t ruin his life or make him sit on the couch all day eating Cheetos. He didn’t get busted so he was allowed to go to college and be a lawyer, Senator and President of the United States. He didn’t need rehab and stopped smoking weed on his own without any 12 step programs or sponsors.

Maybe his war on medical marijuana has less to do with his personal feelings and more to do with needing campaign money from Big Pharma.
