NZ PM Jacinda Ardern admits using cannabis on election debate

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern got a thumbs up from 420-friendly netizens after she admitted to using cannabis 'a long time ago', during an election debate.

Arden faced Opposition Leader Judith Collins in New Zealand's second debate on Wednesday, ahead of the general election later this month.

She however declined to say whether she supported the legalization of marijuana, which New Zealanders will decide in a referendum with the national election Oct. 17

Roughly 80% of New Zealanders have tried marijuana, according to independent studies — more than double the rate for Australians, and far above what Americans report, too.
