Can you become a politician despite having a fucked up past with crimes?

Hey guys, do you think you can become a politician despite having a fucked up past with crimes? But as a really changed human being (from long use of mushrooms and self-development with the help of it)?

Just tell everyone that you’re over your criminal past because you did a bunch of shrooms.

He could say that but what they will hear is I'm a chronic crime committer who cured himself by committing a drug crime repeatedly .

I think people are more likely to have a problem with using shrooms for self development than they are whatever crimes you committed in the past.
Worst case, you could just run as a republican. They don't give a shit as long as their boss gets a tax cut.

They generaly do have a past filled with crimes. We draw the line at convictions.

It depends if you had problems with alcohol I don't think anyone would bat an eye, if you had opiate problems your opponent will jump all over that.
Short answer is it's possible but having dirt on you is a big obstacle

I don't think OP's talking about drug crimes...
But you are correct, certain drug crimes are better than others. Most voters will be okay with "cool" drugs like alcohol, cocaine, and probably weed. You might get away with name brand pills if you're doing opiates, but that's pushing it.
If you're doing hippy drugs like mushrooms or LSD, or trashy drugs like crack, meth, or heroin, you're gonna have a bad time. Those attack ads write themselves.

David Petraeus revealed top secret information to the girl he was banging and he’s still a hero.
Let’s murder Julian Assange and Edward Snowden though.

Tell us the crimes and we'll attack you for it. Then you practice how to respond and make us eat shit. Then we vote.
