Chris Christie: Douche. RE Med marijuanza

[Libertytree]

So New Jersey legalized medicinal marijuana in 2009, but implementation’s been slow and stupid. It took three years, for example, for the first dispensary to open. Unsurprisingly, it’s still easier to buy street drugs in New Jersey than legal marijuana, even for medical marijuana patients. This June, the state legislature passed a new law that would make it easier for sick children to access medical marijuana. It’s August, and New Jersey’s paternalistic governor, Chris Christie, is still mulling it over. Confronted by the parent of a child waiting for easier access to medical marijuana, Christie explained it wasn’t as simple as just signing the law. From CBS New York:

“Please don’t let my daughter die, Governor. Don’t let my daughter die,” Brian Wilson implored Gov. Christie on Wednesday…

“I was wondering what the holdup is. It’s been like two months now,” Wilson pressed the governor.

“These are complicated issues,” Gov. Christie responded to Wilson.

“Very simple issue,” the father shot back.

“No, I know you think it’s simple…I know you think it’s simple and it’s not,” Christie said.

At the end of their exchange, Christie told Wilson he’d decide in the coming days whether to sign the bill.

“I’ll have a decision by Friday. I wish for the best for you, your daughter and your family and I’m going to do what I think is best for the people of the state,” Christie told Wilson.

If he loves his daughter so much, move to Colorado.

Make the bill for marajuana donuts and it would not be a complicated issue.

Donut muncher will sign anything for donuts.

The fat fuck is a straight-up Fascist, absolutely no question about it.

The fat fuck is a straight-up Fascist, absolutely no question about it.

He thinks that whatever he does is "best for the people of the state". He's a true statist piece of shit. Thinks that his opinion matters in the farce that is governance.

This is what the GOP is hopping up and down and hopes to run against shillery? Like McRomney were good options. I hope the Libertarian party keeps gaining in numbers.

I certainly believe in voting with your feet but thats not always possible because of many factors.

The asshole governor is supposed to follow the law, this law was passed 3 yrs ago! He's more concerned with his rep with the GOP & politicaly than he is anything else, fuck him, he's a piece of shit.

This has me stewing! I know it's wrong but if there is a cosmic justice, Christie will get a disease that requires him to use MJ for his condition and he'd be the one to have to move to CO to get his script.

I've heard of Christian Scientists being thrown in jail for refusing 'medical' treatments for their children. Here we have the government telling people they can't treat their children because the politicians know better about what's good medicine for them.

When the laws are insane, and the politicians are insane enough to enforce them, then it's insane for people to obey them. And I'm not talking about real laws--like the ones in the ten commandments. I'm talking about 'legislation'. The government doesn't obey the 'laws', why should anyone else. Maybe it's because they have too many jails, and not enough heart. But I think the right answer is that the government is irredeemably corrupt, and Chris Christie just proves it.

Everyone should be so thankful to lard ass for more of the same BS. This is from Faux, fuck the link.

TRENTON, N.J. – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has agreed to give chronically ill children easier access to medical marijuana.
However, the governor conditionally vetoed a bill on the issue because it goes further than he was willing to.


Christie agreed to allow production of ingestible forms of pot at state-approved dispensaries and to allow dispensaries to grow more than three strains of the drug.
But he wants to leave in place a requirement that a psychiatrist and pediatrician sign off before children are allowed medical marijuana. And a third doctor's recommendation would be needed if one of the others is not registered in the program.


The bill is being pushed by parents of children with severe seizure disorders who say that children elsewhere have benefited from strains of marijuana.
It now goes back to the Legislature.
