“Barack Obama once came close to injecting heroin, but balked when a junkie pulled out the needle and rubber tubing,” according to an Examiner report out today, which quotes directly from the Democratic presidential candidate’s book Dreams From My Father.
In the tome, published in 1995, Obama writes that he once entered the freezer of a delicatessen with “my potential initiator,” a junkie who “pulled out the needle and tubing” for Obama.
“Right then an image popped into my head of an air bubble, shiny and round like a pearl, rolling quietly through a vein and stopping my heart,” recalled Obama.
The newspaper article notes that Obama hasn’t hid the fact that he used marijuana and cocaine as a young man; however, his flirtation with heroin has received “virtually no media coverage.”
