OUT OF THE WAY, CHRISTIE

The matter before NJ Gov. Christie was whether to allow a`2-year old child suffering 15 heart seizures a day from a rare form of epilepsy to chew certain marijuana that could save her life.

    "I think," said the Governor, "that I will approve it if she gets three doctors, including a psychiatrist, to prescribe it...but I don't think I will approve that brand of marijuana for older patients."

WHO THE HELL CARES WHAT YOU THINK?  The only question is what is right and what is wrong.  This girl is alive and it is right for her parents to give her WHATEVER IS NECESSARY for her to remain alive.  You can THINK all you want that 2 + 2 is 5, but it ain't.  And that's true for older patients as well.  Where oh where in tarnation did you get the idea that you can decide how much this girl must suffer, and whether she can live?  How the hell can there be a law that does not allow you to live?  Get out of the way, Christie, you are a damn fool."

And the idea that the government can restrict this use of marijuana because it is`a "controlled substance" is ridiculous.   The government labels it that way and then claims that because it is a controlled substance, they have a right to control it!  HUH? Ever hear of a more stupid, idiotic, example of circular reasoning? Absurd.

Imagine Christie coming up to a frontiersman and saying, "Hey, you can't chew or smoke that weed."  What would the frontiersman have said, after he stopped laughing and cocked his gun?

Nothing.  And then he would have taken another deep sniff.  And another.  And another.
