JFK Jnr ‘on drugs’

THE son of assassinated US President John F Kennedy was a frequent marijuana user who suffered from attention deficit disorder, an author claimed yesterday.

Laurence Leamer said JFK Junior was so fond of the drug that he once risked arrest by taking the substance over the Canadian border during a road trip with friends.

Mr Leamer, whose book Sons of Camelot: The Fate of an American Dynasty is on sale in the US, also said Kennedy suffered from attention deficit disorder, or ADD.

“John discovered he had ADD in his 30s,” said the author. “He’d jump around in school and at dinner he’d jump around the dinner table.”
