NO MORE DELAYS FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW
We get it already -- Gov. Chris Christie doesn't like the state's
legalization of medical marijuana.
That's abundantly clear at this point, considering the governor
continues to maneuver at every turn to block implementation of the
law. He's challenged the number and selection of distribution centers
and growers, played around with the required strength of the drug and
other provisions, and now says he wants assurances from the federal
government that those involved in the program will not be prosecuted
for that involvement.
The likelihood of any response from the federal government reaching a
level of "assurance" that would satisfy Christie is remote -- and the
governor undoubtedly knows that. The feds aren't going to guarantee
anything, even though it is not uncommon for state laws to conflict
with federal laws. Any forthcoming statement from authorities will
almost certainly be deemed by Christie as insufficient. And then what?
