I used to do a lot of coke in high school—when I could afford it. It was expensive, so that wasn’t very often. I quit after high school because I had a job, and needed to function at a much higher level. Random drug testing also factored in there somewhere. Never did it again. Never really missed it. I do drink coffee and a Red Bull every once in a while though.
I saw the Obama clip of his answer, and at first he said he did coke until he was out of college, then quickly changed the words to ‘high school’. Born in 1962, Obama would have hit the coke late ‘70s and early ‘80s at just the right time to be a “play-er”.
The question still needs asking, at a Town Hall or press conference: Senator, did you ever sell coke and/or distribute it to other high school or college students?
Full disclosure. I tried it once, at a party, and took about five or six lines with no effect whatsoever. My one and only time, also in my early 20’s when we all were hip. But neither you nor I are running, and in a part of our mind, expect to be president. Obama needs to answer more fully.
