Obama Ranks First On List Of Top 50 Marijuana Consumers In The US

NOW THIS IS A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT AND IT REALLY DOES EXPLAIN A LOT....DON'T YOU THINK!!
The largest marijuana policy organization in the United States released its annual ranking Wednesday of the top 50 most influential marijuana consumers, with President Barack Obama topping the list.
While Obama comes first, the second place is captured by the category of 2016 p**********l hopefuls, a category which includes eight candidates, who have stated that theyve experimented with marijuana in the past, notably Jeb Bush, Lincoln Chafee, Ted Cruz, George Pataki, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Bernie Sanders and Rick Santorum. Many of the candidates expressed regret that they had tried the drug. Oprah Winfrey landed third place this year, with Bill Clinton coming directly after in fourth.
About one out of every two Americans has used marijuana, including a whole lot of very successful people, said Mason Tvert, the Marijuana Policy Projects director of communications, in a statement. There are a lot more out there that we dont know about because it is illegal. Marijuana is a less harmful substance than alcohol. Adults who use it responsibly should not have to choose between keeping it a secret or admitting to a crime.
In order to create the list, the Marijuana Policy Project borrowed the criteria from Out Magazine used to assess the top 50 L**T Americans, such as power to influence cultural and social attitudes, political clout, individual wealth, and a persons media profile. For MPP, individuals chosen have to be alive, U.S. citizens, and need to have consumed marijuana at least once in their life, regardless of their current views on marijuana reform.
We hope this list will make people question some of the anti-marijuana propaganda theyve been hearing for so long, Tvert said. Millions of adults enjoy consuming marijuana for many of the same reasons that adults enjoy consuming alcohol. The only thing that makes marijuana consumers more likely to become losers are the legal penalties they face just for using it.
As a change from last years ranking, pop icon Justin Bieber and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin no longer make the list.
Here are the top 25 out of 50:
1. Barack Obama
2. 2016 P**********l Hopefuls
3. Oprah Winfrey
4. Bill Clinton
5. John Kerry
6. Stephen Colbert
7. Clarence Thomas
8. Katy Perry
9. LeBron James
10. Jay Z
11. Bill Gates
12. George Soros
13. Jon Stewart
14. Bill Maher
15. Rush Limbaugh
16. Andrew Cuomo
17. Sanjay Gupta
18. George W. Bush
19. Seth MacFarlane
20. George Clooney
21. Lady Gaga
22. Ted Turner
23. Brad Pitt
24. Rihanna
25. Whoopi Goldberg

Yeah but the weed isn't working for the Potus.
He is obviously a genetic anaomoly.
Good herb = good ideas .
I only see his treason.
There will be no peace until 2018.
Ask Greece and Europe.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees flee the Cradle.
Something Evil has risen in the Sand.

Maybe that is the next addition to a list!
I think my preference for wavy potato chips came from that period in my life.
Anyone else?
