I have to agree. Sadly, the government must protect drug users from themselves.

Wow, something Christie and I agree upon.

Please explain why you think tax revenue generated from legal marijuana sales is “blood money”.

Well then all sin taxes are blood money. So we should drop them.

As opposed to gambling money, which is ‘clean money’ to the filthy New Jersey politician.

So, what does Cristie Creme call asset forfeiture, warrantless searches, and other violations of the Fourth Amendment committed by/in his state in the name of a thoroughly failed War On (Some) Drugs?

Gov. Chris Christie is reiterating his opposition to legalizing marijuana for recreational use and says tax revenue from sales of the drug amount to “blood money.
_________________________________________
What about the tax revenue from cigarettes? And from Alcohol?
Both of those substances have lead to far more deaths than pot ever has?
The ONLY reason for taxing these items is as a sin tax. A punitive tax on the weaker and stupid people in our society.
Much like the Lottery.

You meant profit from it themselves didn’t you?...:)
To: Citizen Zed
Christie said pot is a gateway drug The same phony-baloney calculations that support this claim also show that alcohol and tobacco are gateway drugs.
He says that drug addiction is a disease and that abusers need treatment, not jail time.
But the nonaddicted majority of users do need jail time?

It may be blood money but the politicians will take it all the same. People die from the alcohol industry as well. But a heck of a lot of money goes “for the children” with the taxes on alcohol.

I have to agree. Sadly, the government must protect drug users from themselves. Are you angling for Chief Nanny in a Michelle Obama Administration?
