A Surprise Meeting After Edibles
Handler was invited to Kennebunkport, Maine, where the Bush family has a summer home. She is a Democrat, but she is friends with Barbara and Jenna Bush, so they asked her to visit. She was nervous to meet their father, former President George W. Bush, because she didn’t want to say something wrong. To calm down, she ate four edibles, which had 40 milligrams of THC.
