Last night on his radio show, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie
wanted to make sure everyone knew he really, really
doesn’t think it’s cool to legalize marijuana and that not
even “casual use” is OK. After all, think of the potential
consequences!
“Go to Colorado and see if you want to live there,” the governor
said. “See if you want to live in a major city in Colorado, where
there are headshops popping up on every corner, and people flying
into your airport just to get high.
No siree. Wouldn’t want new small businesses opening up or
tourists coming to your state. That would be terrible.
He added:
“To me, it’s not the quality of life we want to have here in the
state of New Jersey,” he added. “And here’s no tax revenue that’s
worth that.
He could have stopped before the last three words.
The governor has also said that
he’s worried about the “profit motive” sneaking into his state
if a recent
bill submitted in the state legislature to legalize
possession of marijuana of up to an ounce passes. He famously
dragged his feet on much needed liberalization of medical marijuana
in the state as well, as this Reason TV video
shows:
