Anti-Weed N.Y. Assemblyman Steve Katz Charged With Possession (Republican)
New York Magazine ^ | 3/16/13 | Joe Coscarelli

Posted on 03/16/2013 3:00:43 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Westchester County Republican Assemblyman Steve Katz was pulled over yesterday morning for speeding and hit with a possession charge when an officer recognized the distinct smell of marijuana. "He was alone and cooperative," said the police, who ticketed him for a small baggie and going 80 in a 65 mph zone. Katz was oddly arrested twice for allegedly mishandling dogs when he worked as a veterinarian, but both cases were dismissed. Last year, he voted against legalizing medical marijuana, although maybe this will be his Portman moment. The assemblyman sits on Assembly committees for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, as well as Higher Education.

If the RINO republicans do not immediately call for his resignation they are bigger fools than I thought.

Not only is this scum a hypocrite but he openly admitted to being a religious bigot by only rooting for the only semi-pro football team in NYS (Buffalo Bills) when Marv Levi was coach because Marv was Jewish.

The GOP needs to put a few light years between this POS and themselves.

“Sounds like a setup. I’ll wait to hear his side.”

Yeah, “they” must have setup his accelarator to go 80 in a 60.

I hate it when they set me up to drive 20 over the speed limit.

What would this have to do with “medical” marijuana? Even the potheads I know laugh when they hear that ridiculous term.

Apparently you have never had chemotherapy and unable to ingest anything without throwing it up. Those anti-naseau drugs are not much use if you cannot keep them down. Since marijuana can be smoked, it is the only way for some cancer patients using chemotherapy to be able to eat something rather than waste away.

Anyone who would deny marijuana to patients undergoing chemotherapy is beyond evil.

Tell me about it. I got a ticket recently in a small town in Texas. They gave it against the Advisory Speed (yellow sign), not the legal limit (black/white sign). Angered the hell out of me, but the lady working there was so nice, I calmed down. As it is, you can get one ticket a year here in Texas, pay about $140 and it never shows on your record. But if you fight that ticket, you better win, because it will otherwise show up.

Yea, so I suspect the same here - they had an ambiguous speed limit, or the cop just made it up - either way, those are the breaks in politics, people are out to get you.

Or they're in denial about the medical uses of marijuana because they're so fervently committed to their anti-marijuana preconceptions.

You know what we’re not in denial about?

It’s about the allies you have in this battle and the results they bring about, and the terrible image & political hardship they bring to you.

I live in a reasonably conservative state that passed a reasonably permissive pot law, after listening to protests and lamentations like yours.

Next thing you know their is a smoke joint on every corner and 40 losers hanging around the front door of every one.

People got pissed, pot law rescinded, now the whining and crying starts all over again.

Not at all - but you're acting like the official dodger. What state do you live in?

Even if true (which we can't know until we know what state you're talking about - which state is it?) that's consistent with revision as well as rescindment. Which did your state do?

And what state is that?

As many as the number of diabetics that have been cured by insulin. Marijuana has well established medical uses.

Give them cocaine or heroin while your at it

Cocaine and opiates are prescribable - would you like to end that as well?

hey why not

its for thr chilrun

Projection - that's how the War on Marijuana is rationalized.

State of clarity, Smoke.

You?

Beyond that you can shove your questions about who I am or where I’m from.

There are only 50 states, Puffy. If you are that keen on sending your e-mails around, making phone calls, doing all the lobbying possible from your couch, then do your own research.

Do your own work, use your own brain, spend your own money on something besides the spleef. If you can still manage to function well enough, that is.

You're weaseling around, and you think you've smoked me? LOL!

You?

Illinois. I have nothing to hide.

Beyond that you can shove your questions about who I am or where I’m from.

After you shove your unverifiable and almost certainly fabricated claims about your unnamed state.

Oh, that’s perfect, Choomer.

Listen—stay put, won’t you? Your brother-in-the-smoke has done quite enough damage for you all.
