Twitter sparks up after Justin Trudeau’s pot admission

Watch: The Morning Show discusses if Trudeau’s admission will win or lose him support

TORONTO – Justin Trudeau’s marijuana admission ignited social media Thursday as many took to Twitter to fire off pot-shots at the Liberal leader.

Trudeau said he smoked pot five or six times in his life, including three years ago while he was a Member of Parliament.

Trudeau originally made the marijuana admission in a candid interview with the Huffington Post, in which he also revealed that his youngest brother, Michel, was charged with marijuana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:
