Alaska's Pot

Jacob Sullum calls out Palin for her pot smoking hypocrisy:

Palin got to smoke pot without worrying about legal consequences and now wants to deny that assurance to fellow Alaskans doing exactly the same thing. "Palin doesn't support legalizing marijuana," the Anchorage Daily News reported in 2006, because she worries about "the message it would send to her four kids."

It's Palin's job to teach her children that certain pleasures are reserved for grownups. The government should not continue to arrest adults who are harming no one simply because her children are easily confused.

If I were Palin, I wouldn't be going around pontificating about the responsibility of adults to send the right messages to their kids, would you?
