da war on drugs?

['nam vet.]

One of the many things that made Barack Obama such a refreshing
candidate was his frank and unapologetic admission of drug use. True,
Anderson Cooper extracted curt "yeses" from some 2004 Democratic
candidates when he asked them point-blank if they had ever smoked pot.
But Obama has written openly and without prompting about his
experiences, not only with marijuana, but cocaine, a "hard" drug. On the
campaign trail he even joked about inhaling deeply -- "that was the
point," he said more than once. Unlike George W. Bush, Obama didn't hide
behind evasive murmurs about "irresponsible behavior," or turn his drug
experiences into a setup for some maudlin born-again conversion story.
