Old Man Bloomberg ignored the opinions of medical professionals and various other data today on his weekly radio address to deem any non-recreational use of the nation’s favorite herb fake. “Yeah, right, medical, come on,” he said. “There’s no medical. This is one of the great hoaxes of all time.” While the mayor famously said, “You bet I did. And I enjoyed it,” when asked if he’d ever smoked weed, he insisted, “I don’t have any personal experience in terms of today,” before reverting to his recycled talking points like, “marijuana is much stronger today than it was 20 or 30 years ago” and “If [drug dealers] can’t sell marijuana, they’ll sell something else.”
