Rubio refuses to say whether he's ever smoked marijuana:

What about the others?

I'd bet most of them have tried it ... It's called being young.

I doubt any will admit it.

Rubio was dumb not to answer he made himself look like a fool every politician from Obama, Bush to Clinton has admitted their drug use.

Rubio seemed like he had cotton mouth during his SOTU response.

And when they dodge the question - rephrase it, "Can you prove to us that you've never smoked pot?" Tongue  I wouldn't be surprised if most have tried it, obviously they never got caught so they aren't too eager to admit it.

I don't see why Rubio would refuse to answer. At this point I think that people are recognizing that it is something that many people try during their college years and that the question at this point is basically who has not done it.

For example...

http://www.substance.com/eric-holder-admits-he-smoked-pot-marco-rubio-wont-heres-how-10-other-politicians-sweated-the-marijuana-question/

Wish the video of all of the Democratic candidates simultaneously admitting to doing it was more readily available. Anyway, I think it is clear that the names on that list did not have their careers ruined after admitting it.

I actually thought his reasoning for not answering it was pretty good if he genuinely opposes it. There's no doubt he smoked it, but his point of younger people taking it as an example made plenty of sense. It's like that old Einstein failed math myth, where kids like to bring him up as an excuse for why failing a class is okay, when it isn't.

Nobody will justify drug use to themselves by saying "gee, you know what? That twink down in Florida smoked, so I can, too."

Rubio is either a megalomaniac if he thinks he's anyones role model or a hideously bad liar if that's his excuse for not answering.

Maybe Hillary was the one who inhaled Bill's smoke?

I wouldn't want to have a president who hasn't smoked marijuana/used other illegal drugs. Especially in 2016.

What if Rubio actually hasn't and didn't want to answer because he was afraid of not looking cool?

JK, they all have smoked a bunch.

Rand Paul of course. The better question is, who still does drugs now? And I'm not wondering about pot, I'm wondering about stronger drugs.

Rand Paul is a drug.
