Malia Obama skipped out on the Democratic National Convention a few weeks back to attend Lollapalooza, an annual music festival. Shortly after that, a video surfaced, showing the 17-year old twerking, which seems normal for a teenager at a music festival, but sparked a controversy.
Before that could fade away, another video popped up, and Malia Obama was seen smoking what appears to be a joint. It seems like whoever taped this wanted the video to go viral.

Social media users have had mixed reactions, some saying that there are other more important things to be worried about, and some posting pictures of former president’s daughters doing much worse things at their age.
Most of them also encouraged Malia Obama to ditch her friends for recording her with a joint in the first place.
President Obama himself has admitted to drug use in his autobiography as we know it, but we haven’t heard from him yet.
Marijuana was recently decriminalised in Illinois, where Lollapalooza was held earlier this month. That means Malia ‘getting high’ with her friends is not breaking any law. So shouldn’t we just let her live?
