EWING — Gov. Chris Christie has never been sympathetic to marijuana reform efforts. And he’s not about to start as he heads into the final year of his last term.
Reacting to a caller on New Jersey 101.5’s “Ask The Governor,” Christie said any revenues that would be raised by taxing recreational marijuana would be “blood money.”
“Are you high right now?” an irate Christie asked a caller who had suggested that the revenue could help offset the recent gas tax increase.
“There is nothing we spend in government that is important enough to allow me to willfully poison our children for that money,” Christie said. “That’s blood money.”
