if they're lying about weed they're lying about... what else? theft? fraud? violent crime? domestic abuse?

the point is that there are no surprises about a candidate, not that some guy they've known since 3rd grade will cover for them.

cuz their job won't involve talking to people they've known since 3rd grade
