A gubernatorial candidate in Rhode Island, who admitted to being a marijuana caregiver and patient, smoked weed in her campaign video.

In her campaign ad posted on her YouTube page, gubernatorial hopeful Anne Armstrong admitted to smoking medical cannabis.

"Yes, I do inhale and it helps me," she said. And went on to show how she does it on the video.

According to Armstrong, she inhales pot every day, but only for medical purposes.

She added that she puts marijuana in her food and used it as a dietary supplement.    

In addition, Armstrong said if she wins in the election, she would pass a legislation to legalize marijuana, and strive to make people more comfortable with medical cannabis.

In July, a new legislation was passed, which limits the use of medical marijuana, a move that Armstrong called "very sneaky and very deceptive."

The legislation prompted her into getting into politics.

On her campaign's Facebook page, Armstrong said she aims that Rhode Island will be a place where "everyone can live in abundance."

Armstrong was previously diagnosed with swine flu when she was attending law school, and was prescribed medical marijuana for her illness.

In turn, she started her own marijuana healing center, which she claims to have been more help for her and other patient's condition than any other pharmaceutical drugs.

According to Armstrong, contrary to popular belief, marijuana does not make people crazy,  instead, taking it helped her focus and communicate better.

Due to her illness, she dropped out of law school. But according to Armstrong, who is also an electrical engineer, she will use her degree and background in law to raise people's awareness during her campaign.

In an interview with ABC News Today, Armstrong said that she has seen miraculous things unfold in her candidacy.

Although she claims to be unattached to the outcome of the elections, she wants the people to follow her footsteps and be able to step up and do something should opportunity presents itself.
