Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative leader Jamie Baillie is the latest politician to join in on the discussion of marijuana.
Politicians across the country have been facing questions about if they have ever used the drug ever since Liberal leader Justin Trudeau admitted to smoking up.
On Wednesday, Baillie told The Rick Howe Show he has indeed smoked marijuana before.
“Yeah, a couple of times in college,” said Baillie. “And it was pretty disappointing.”
Earlier, Liberal leader Stephen McNeil said he had never smoked pot before, but that it’s time for Canada to decriminalize the drug.
McNeil’s reasoning for not smoking up is because his Mother was a sheriff and five of his brothers are in law enforcement.
Premier Darrell Dexter refused to comment on the topic of marijuana recently, saying there are more important things to talk about.
