Watch the video above: Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s admission to crack cocaine use
Mayor Rob Ford: You asked me a question back in May and you can repeat that question.

Jackson Proskow: DO YOU SMOKE CRACK COCAINE?
Mayor Rob Ford: Exactly.
Yes I have smoked crack cocaine. But no—Do I? Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Um probably in one of my drunken stupors probably approximately about a year ago.
I answered your question. You asked a question properly, I’ll answer it.
All I can say is I’ve made mistakes, and you guys kept referring to alcohol. There was a couple isolated incidents. There’s been times when I’ve been in a drunken stupor.

I can’t change anything…
