University Student: Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter

Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter: Dexter said Thursday he tried marijuana as a university student, according to CTV. Dexter said he will leave it up to the federal government to worry about whether marijuana should be legalized because there are more important things for the provincial government to be concerned about, such as federal health-care funding and caps on immigration to the province and HALIFAX -- Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter says he smoked marijuana in university but too much is being made of the issue since federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau called for the legalization of pot. "Like every other person I knew back in the '70s when I went to university, some of whom are actually in this room, I would have tried it, the same as other people at that time," he said.
