Miss Iowa, Mariah Cary, doesn't think marijuana should be used for anything other than recreational, or health care purposes per her answer during Saturday's Miss America Pageant.

The controversial response came up when Cary was asked about her position on the use marijuana during the Q&A portion of the contest. A tongue tied Cary, who initially wanted to point out her acceptance for the medical use of marijuana, ended up giving this confusing response.

"I think that depends on the situation," she began. "I personally know people who have had to go to medical marijuana for their last resort, for their health care and I completely agree with that."

Later on adding, "I don't think it should be used for anything but recreational use and health care."
