If you haven’t heard, Malia Obama went to Lollapalooza. If you’re old and cranky, you might’ve tweeted or written a (lame) Facebook post about how she went to a music festival and didn’t go to the Democratic Convention. Which, by the way, she had no business being at. Her dad isn’t running for President. All he did was speak. Does she go to all of his speeches all over the world and country? No.

Last week it came to social media’s attention that Malia Obama was supposedly smoking weed at the festival. The girl who outed her (which is a whole different story) claimed that she could “smell the weed” and “had it in her hand for a minute or so.” Boring.

People began to claim Obama is a terrible father because of this. Which is weird since I know Obama holds his daughters in the highest regard. Others claimed that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree since Obama previously opened up about his marijuana use in high school and college.

The legalization of marijuana isn’t even on Obama’s agenda – it’s a federal law that must be made through Congress. In the state of Illinois, where Lollapalooza is held, marijuana was decriminalized this past May. This means that people carrying small amounts of marijuana would be fined, rather than receive jail time.

So, what’s the big deal?

Malia has never been in the tabloids or called out for something "shocking" she’s done. She is not a destructive person to those around her. There was that one time she was caught at a Brown University party....doing nothing. So why give her the “bad girl” name for going to a concert and dancing?

Has no one learned from the classic movie “My Date with the President’s Daughter?"

The other claim people had against her was the fact that she’s going to Harvard. This honestly just made me laugh. Harvard is an Ivy League school in terms of academics but in terms of social life? I know for certain there are students that smoke weed and drink underage (gasp). She’s not even starting at Harvard this fall, so why does Harvard have to be dragged into this silly mess?

I applaud Malia. She's 18 and beginning to start life new. She's trying things out - just like all of us before we entered college. I can’t wait to see what she does with this world. Who cares what people say on the Internet – they’re beneath her.
