Trudeau originally made the marijuana admission in a candid interview with the Huffington Post, in which he also revealed that his youngest brother, Michel, was charged with marijuana possession shortly before his 1998 death in an avalanche.
The Liberal leader said he’s never enjoyed it much and doesn’t do it anymore.
Trudeau had no apologies either.
“No, it wasn’t a mistake,” Trudeau told journalists in Quebec City.
Here’s some of the reaction on Twitter:
