Chris Christie Calls Tax Revenue From Legal Marijuana 'Blood Money'

[LynneSin]

12. And all the Lobbying money from Pharmaceutical Companies getting rich off Opiate Painkillers??

The biggest problem with drug addiction in this country today is addiction to opiates including prescription painkillers. And when the lifeline to the legal painkillers get cut-off people then turn to the illegal opiates like heroin.

How many thousands of people have died of heroin because they first started on opiate painkillers and how many of them started because a doctor prescribed opiate painkillers to them for something random. Hell my doctor wanted to give me opiate painkillers for arthritis but then she offered option #2 (injections for my knees and lose the damn weight - I picked that one and a year later working fine).

So you know, since I haven't heard of too many people dying of marijuana addiction I hardly see that as blood money.

Christie - you're an ass
