Jeb Bush's Former Classmates Say He Was A Hash-Smoking Bully Well, blow me down! [View all]

Thanks to the Boston Globe, we know what it's like to get high with Jeb Bush.

The newspaper spoke with several of Bush's former classmates from the elite Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., who portrayed the former Florida governor as a stoner and a bit of a bully.

Former classmate Peter Tibbetts told the Globe that he smoked marijuana for the first time with Bush and other classmates in the woods outside their dorm building. He recalled another time when he smoked hashish, or cannabis resin, in Bush's dorm room to the tune of Steppenwolf's 1968 hit "Magic Carpet Ride."

“The first time I really got stoned was in Jeb’s room,” Tibbetts said. “He had a portable stereo with removable speakers. He put on Steppenwolf for me.”
