Although Barbara Bush may not be happy to hear it, former Gov. Jeb Bush totally smoked weed.
The subject of marijuana policy finally made an appearance at CNN's Republican presidential debate Wednesday night, and when Rand Paul opened the floor to see who got high in high school, Bush admitted to smoking weed 40 years ago. He would have been in his twenties.

"So 40 years ago I smoked marijuana and I admit it," Bush said. "I'm sure that other people might have done it and may not want to say it in front of 25 million people. My mom's not happy that I just did."
Bush (or someone managing his account) then tweeted this:
Sorry Mom— Jeb Bush (@JebBush) September 17, 2015
Unfortunately, Bush didn't give any additional details on his marijuana usage, leaving us with plenty of questions.
Was it sativa or indica? Did he smoke a joint? A bong? How many times? We need answers, Jeb!
Although marijuana policy has been brought up in past presidential elections (and we all know Bill Clinton didn't inhale), this will be the first election since recreational marijuana became legal in some states, making the subject a more prominent topic.
Currently, recreational marijuana use is legal in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and D.C. Medical marijuana is legal on some level in 23 states.
