Rand Paul says Bush is a hypocrite over marijuana use

Sen. Rand Paul says it's hypocritical for Jeb Bush to oppose legalizing marijuana given that Bush smoked a fair amount at prep school.

You would think hed have a little more understanding then, Paul told The Hill while en route to a political event in Texas.

He was even opposed to medical marijuana, Paul said of Bush. This is a guy who now admits he smoked marijuana but he wants to put people in jail who do.

I think thats the real hypocrisy, is that people on our side, which include a lot of people who made mistakes growing up, admit their mistakes but now still want to put people in jail for that, he said.

Had he been caught at Andover, hed have never been governor, hed probably never have a chance to run for the presidency, he added.
