You can be certain that if it were learned that Chelsea were a pothead, Dan Burton would be investigating and calling for a special prosecutor. I say go with it. If anyone had even breathed the possibility that Chelsea Clinton had used pot, the media would have been all over her and her parents like ticks on a dog. The issue here is not the war on drugs, but the media's own double standard. It does not seem unusual to me that the press is so reticent to pursue this Jenna Bush story.
People smoke pot all the time without going to jail.
It seems to me that consequences for pot use among college kids are rare. This article insinuates that there is some kind of double standard at play here, but that would only be the case if the story was that Bush had been treated differently after getting caught by law enforcement with pot. As it is, she's just like the millions of other Americans who smoke pot and never get caught. Incidentally, my sources at Stanford tell me that Chelsea was a bit of a stoner. If I have heard this, some people in the press must have heard it.
