After watching this clip from the Miss America pageant, it’s easy to see why Miss Iowa didn’t take the crown.  When asked her thoughts on the legalization of marijuana, Mariah Cary accidently answered, “I do not think it should be used for anything but recreational use and health care.”  Although the flub was minute, it changed the entire scope of her answer.  However, the judges seemed to forgive her mistake.  Mariah was the fourth runner-up in the overall competition. 

Watch her Q&A mishap below:
