WASHINGTON, May 26 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama spent a good deal of time in high school smoking marijuana with a group of friends, a forthcoming biography says.
An excerpt of "Barack Obama: The Story," by David Maraniss, an associate editor at The Washington Post, says the group called themselves the "Choom Gang." Choom is a verb meaning to smoke marijuana, an excerpt of the book says, the Post reported.
