I think people (especially in the Midwest swing states) see a huge
difference between marijuana and cocaine. Yes alot of people used
Marijuana in the 70s, though Bush, Clinton (kind of) or Gore has never
publicly admitted to it.

He will be the first serious presidential candidate to openly admit
drug use. If he becomes the Democrat nomoniee he will have to take a
strong  Anti-Drug stance to negate what he did (and admitted to) in
his earlier life. If I was him I would be filming some Anti-Drug PSA's
right now.
