Chris Christie Blowing Smoke About Marijuana

[GoLeft TV]

Chris Christie is currently facing backlash for his backwards stance on drug policy. At a town hall meeting in New Hampshire last week, Christie warned crowds that if they are enjoying marijuana legally in states like Colorado, they’d better be prepared for him to repeal those state laws the day he is sworn in as president. Of course, he has to get the nomination and then win the election before that can happen, and given his decision to attack one of the most popular and economically beneficial issues in recent years, both of those seem incredibly unlikely.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. He'll get lots of backlash on this, because of the economic boost pot has already caused, as well as

the big bump in tax base.

6. Been there, done that.

Sadly, no lesson learned by the PTB. They're still under the influence of the VERY late William Randolph Hearst.

3. The people who could benifit from pot the most hate it the most .

Chris would come to a dig himself and fuck off moment that would lead to a catatonic catharsis .
