24 June 2010 - Sarah Palin was interviewed on Fox Business Network when she admitted to have smoked cannabis when it was legal for personal use in Alaska. She also said that marijuana use "relatively speaking" is a "minimal problem" in the country. Palin then added "I think we need to prioritize our law enforcement efforts, and if somebody's gonna smoke a joint in their house and not do anybody else any harm, then perhaps there are other things our cops should be looking at to engage in and try to clean up some of the other problems that we have in society." But she also insisted that "If we're talking about pot, I'm not for the legalization of pot," Palin said, "I think that would just encourage especially our young people to think that it was OK to just go ahead and use it."
