Only a few months ago, Lawmakers in New Jersey have approved the "medical" use of marijuana. (Medical in quotes because I cannot imagine anyone abusing a doctor's prescription for marijuana) But now, the governor, the legislature, and the government health officials can't agree on the rules and regulations that will attach to the new marijuana laws. Now, months after marijuana was "legalized" in New Jersey, not a single legal joint has been smoked. And I've scoured the internet to try to find out how much money has been wasted debating the issue, to no avail. So, in a state that is home to the second most violent city in The United States, police officers and firefighters are being laid-off, but government officials are spending time trying to iron-out a plan to make weed available for those who need it. I'm sure people won't have a hard time finding it on the streets of Camden in January.
Maybe the government should not waste its time or the people's money. Instead of debating marijuana, figure out a way to save the City of Camden by not firing half of it's public servants.
