President Bush apparently acknowledged trying marijuana in his younger days during a conversation with a friend. Doug Wead secretly recorded at least a dozen talks with Bush between 1998 and the summer of 2000, when Bush was governor of Texas.
The New York Times says in one of those talks, Bush criticized then-Vice President Al Gore for admitting past marijuana use and explained why he would not answer questions about marijuana. In Bush's words: ``I don't want some little kid doing what I tried.''
Wead, a former aide to President Bush's father, discussed strategy and policy with the future president. He played a dozen of the tapes for a Times reporter. Wead says he made the recordings because he views Bush as a historic figure. The White House does not deny the authenticity of the tapes. Spokesman Trent Duffy says Bush "was having casual conversations with someone he believed was his friend."
