US Treasury Secretary Admits to Marijuana Use in College

Janet Yellen, the US Treasury Secretary, recently shared that she experimented with marijuana during her college years.

Speaking on a late-night talk show, she candidly discussed her brief encounter with the substance, which she attributed to the curiosity and freedom of her youth.

During her college days, Yellen prepared for the experience by learning how to smoke properly, starting with cigarettes.

Although she tried marijuana only once, she later developed a cigarette habit that lasted for a decade before successfully quitting.

The conversation also touched on a 2023 incident in China where Yellen inadvertently consumed hallucinogenic mushrooms during a meal.

She described the mushrooms as a unique culinary experience and shared her lighthearted perspective on the event.
