Critic blasts NJ’s medical marijuana program [AUDIO]
http://nj1015.com/critic-blasts-njs-medical-marijuana-program-audio/?trackback=tsmclip
The governor's outward hostility towards medical marijuana and the sick people who need it has always been curious. What's the motivation? Medical marijuana isn't a hot button issue anymore. Medical marijuana won't cost him the White House, there's a long list of other things that are jockeying for that distinction. Just let the sick people have their medicine.
