TORONTO – Ontario’s premier and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford threw
themselves in the political pot debate Wednesday, confessing they too
smoked dope — and more than once.

Ford, who’s been fighting allegations that he smoked crack cocaine,
raised eyebrows when he freely admitted to using a different drug.

“Oh yeah,” he said with a laugh. “I won’t deny that. I smoked a lot
of it.”

Kathleen Wynne also came clean that she puffed some pot, but “very,
very infrequently” and stopped 35 years ago, before her children were
born and she was elected.

“It’s never been a big part of my life,” said the 60-year-old
premier.

They’re the latest high-profile politicians to own up to using
marijuana, after Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau admitted last week that
he took a pull on a joint three years ago while he was an MP.

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has said he stayed away from the
drug after seeing a U.S. Supreme Court nominee withdraw after it emerged
he had smoked marijuana in college.

Trudeau said he hasn’t lit up since, but Justice Minister Peter
MacKay condemned him for breaking the law while serving in public
office.

He also accused Trudeau of hypocrisy for voting for mandatory minimum
sentences for marijuana production before he stopped smoking up.

Wynne said she won’t pass judgment on Trudeau or anyone else.

“These are personal decisions that people make and I’m not going to
weigh in on the decision of another politician or individual,” she said.

Ford’s admission Wednesday that he smoked weed came as a surprise
since he’s refused to answer questions from reporters about his alleged
drug use.

In May, Ford denied that he used crack in the face of reports that he
was videotaped smoking the drug, and said he couldn’t comment on a
video “that I have never seen and may not exist.”

Three years ago, Ford admitted he was charged with driving under the
influence and marijuana possession in Florida in the 1990s. He at first
denied the allegations, but later pleaded no-contest to the impaired
driving charge and the drug charge was dropped.

Wynne, who lived with her young children for three years in the
Netherlands where the drug is legal, wouldn’t say whether she agrees
with Trudeau that marijuana should be legalized and regulated.

Proponents argue one of the benefits would be generating much-needed
cash to pay for public services.

“I think it’s one of those contentious subjects that we need to
debate,” said Wynne.

“I think it’s good that it’s been raised. I think that it’s an
important debate to have, but I’m not going to weigh in on one side or
other of it at this point.”

Former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien tried to decriminalize
possession of small amounts of marijuana, but it didn’t become law.

For the record, Chretien said he never smoked a joint.

Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version
erroneously said Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has admitted he
smoked pot.

“I won’t deny that. I smoked a lot of it.”

Se todo político fosse tão verdadeiro quanto ele, já tava legalizado no Brasil.
