Finally, a argument in favor of marijuana

With the windows rolled up, for total absorption:

Now a soon-to-be published biography by David Maraniss entitled "Barack Obama: The Story" gives more detail on Obama's pot-smoking days, complete with testimonials from young Barry Obama's high school buddies, a group that went by the name "the Choom Gang." Choom was slang for smoking marijuana.

Maraniss portrays the teenage Obama as not just a pot smoker, but a pot-smoking innovator.

"As a member of the Choom Gang," Maraniss writes, "Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends."

The first Obama-inspired trend: "Total Absorption" or "TA".

"TA was the opposite of Bill Clinton's claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled," explains Maraniss. Here's how it worked: If you exhaled prematurely when you were with the Choom Gang, "you were assessed a penalty and your turn was skipped the next time the joint came around."

As one of Obama's old high school buddies tells Maraniss: "Wasting good bud smoke was not tolerated."

Another Obama innovation: "Roof Hits."

"When they were chooming in a car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling."

Maraniss also says Obama was known for his "Interceptions": "When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted 'Intercepted!,' and took an extra hit."

And people say he's weak and feckless.

 

Don't sleep on Barry O!

 

He doesn't know shit about sports. I don't believe the 'Interception' stuff. And people have been bogarting for as long as weed has been around. Not an innovation. I was always the youngest, so I inevitably say sat in the back seat, which worked out perfectly because I could spend a little extra time on each circuit and no one noticed.

 

I always figured you would park on the grass, Sunshine.

 

Surely this is the end of Barack Obama.

 

This is what I've always said. The worst thing about marijuana, for all my life, has been that in order to obtain it, you must deal with people who are also offering harder drugs.

 

Colorado State running back quit the team so he could get his marijuana business ramped up.

Maybe he can be in the NCAA's "most of our student athletes go pro in something other than sports" commercials.

 

What, did you go to weed college?

 

Kind of a dick move.
