Oh, honey. During the question and answer period of last night’s Miss America Pageant, Miss Iowa actually said that.
Miss Iowa's answer on marijuana: "I do not think it should be used for anything but recreational use and health care." #directquote

Here's the clip in which Miss Iowa misspoke during Miss America last night. She still finished 4th runner-up.

As Twitchy reported, Miss California made a big whoopsie, too.
Miss California: euthanasia is a vaccine, right? Miss Iowa: marijuana should only be used for medicine or recreation. Advantage: IOWA

So, Miss Iowa, how can marijuana be used other than for medicinal or recreational purposes? I'm interested. http://t.co/ulzsu132

Hey Miss Iowa, I don't think marijuana should be used for anything other than recreational & medical use either.
— Hillbilly Happiness (@BoutCrazed) January 13, 2013
Heh. If only she had shown us some other uses in the talent portion of the contest.

Quick: Practice making a bong out of an old Mop & Glo bottle, Miss Iowa.
Shorter Miss Iowa: Do not use marijuana as a floor wax. Just say no, people.

Take heart, though, Miss Iowa. There is always YouTube!
