This article alledges drug use among "political figures"

YOUNG REBUFFED ON BID TO DELAY QUESTIONS ON COCAINE IN ATLANTA - New York Times

Notice that this article mentions political "figures" that were drug users. If we are all pretending that is is not even a possibility that Barack Obama could use drugs this article totally debunks this myth. Evidently there are groups of political figures out there that use drugs. In terms of ethics I wonder if congress would require a drug test to run for political office, after all drug use is illegal or is it only illegal for the poor and the powerless.
