Leadership and Crisis, by Gov. Bobby Jindal: on Drugs


Bobby Jindal: Never experimented with drugs as a youth

I generally avoided trouble as a kid. In high school, growing up in a college town, there was always the allure of heading off with the college crowd. But the bigger pull was New Orleans, the big city with the big reputation only one hour down the highway. We knew it was the ultimate party town and sometimes we'd take off with friends for a Saturday trip, walking down Bourbon Street in the French Quarter and sneaking into clubs to listen to great music. It was pretty harmless fun. Some people might not think of New Orleans as wholesome, but I have to say, I enjoyed it--and I never got arrested, never experimented with drugs, and generally lived a life that was like Leave It to Beaver with a Louisiana twist.
