  1. But they still provide pain killers and anti depressants that are real life gate way drugs, people barely survive 10 years of pharmaceutical drugs, I know people that have been smoking for 40+ years and more sane than alot of the sober people

  2. Jay Taylor obviously never smoked weed so he shouldn’t have a opinion in fact most of these people saying no never smoked weed. And to say your nervous that it might get into the hands of children is ridiculous because it already is and also not to mention they have much worse already like tobacco and alcohol

  3. The problems is our law makers are scumbags who don't serve this country. I've been in 3 armed conflicts for this country, and have had 20 operations in the past 50 years because of Vietnam. I've also had 10 other operations, because God just likes to crap on some of us. I'm also a NJ Medical Marijuana card holder, and this program costs me over $12,000 a year out of pocket. Now if I took the opiods, from the big drug companies who our politicians seem to be working for. So what about the people who have a medical problem, but works for Mickey D's? They can afford this program. But are overpaid law makers couldn't care less. We need to fire all these scumbags!

  4. The "Gateway Drug Theory" is false and has been debunked time and time again! Legalize it Tax it REGULATE the substance and like Alcohol or tobacco products aged appropriate! But to those towns you are intitled to ban it just like cities in California's vapor bane you have that option!

  5. legalize recreational in all 50 states 21 and older… ADULTS have the right to choose!!! the stigma around cannabis is wrong!!! cannabis is a good thing… and healthier than tobacco and alcohol.

  6. It's not about social justice, medical for those who need it or about what the citizenry wants (over 60% favor). It is about $, power and connections. Gov and Legislature wants $. Governor wants $ and Control over MJ. The connections want $ that come with the unreasonable regulations. Pharmaceuticals want the status quo. So both have reached a deal but the good old boys club has to provide cover for the legislators who are on the fence or opposed so no vote is taken. For or against, the Legislature owes the public a vote so we can determine who we want to support in the coming elections in Nov. Take a vote and take a stand. The voters can then make their approval or disapproval known at the polls. The point of having a Legislature is so bills can be debated and votes taken. Not to debate and only vote if the outcome is known. Why are they there?

  7. I am not for marijuana…..
    if we make it legal it should be through a referendum…
    and it should be taxed at 100%
    For example if an once is $100.00 then you pay total of $200.00 with the taxes ….
