Nothing matters and American presidents can be anyone, apparently, so naturally, "Because I Got High" singer Afroman has entered the 2024 presidential race.
The artist born Joseph Edgar Foreman announced his run — alongside the slogan "Twenty Twenty Fro" — on Instagram this week, posting a photo of himself donning a fur coat, lip-shaped shades and a ring with a cannabis leaf on it while posing, hand-over-heart, in front of an American flag. As of press time, the announcement has not made it to his Twitter profile, where the musician mostly posts his own sex tapes and videos of himself signing women's breasts. Obviously.
"There comes a time in the course of human events when change must be affected. That time is now. Americans are suffering, and the status quo is no longer acceptable," he wrote in the announcement.
Foreman goes on to comment on the current state of affairs south of the Canadian border, touching on inflation, the economy, police corruption, the housing crisis, the justice system, "the media" and, of course, cannabis prohibition, among other issues.
He continued: "We need a candidate that is truly elected by the people, and for the people. We need a man that can step up and lead with a firm hand. The people are starved for a Commander in Chief, that leads from a place of love and not hate. In these dark times, we need a leader that truly embodies the American dream."
Foreman concluded by naming himself "Our Cannabis Commander in Chief. Our Pot Head of State," adding, "Who better to hold the highest office in the land, than the highest and flyest playa in the game?"
Afroman will have to contend with fellow (former?) musician Kanye West in the running, as well as Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Pete Buttigieg and a metric fuck-ton of other weirdos.
