Chris Christie May Or May Not Protect New Jersey's Very Ill Youth From Scourge Of Medical Pot

There's likely a considerable Venn diagram overlap between regular Wonkette readers and people who are down with the medicinal Mary Jane. Mebbe you are not so much into the indulging, but you are probably not terrified that legal weed is the end of civilization because you are not our grandparents. But, on the slim chance you have complex feels about the whole thing, Chris Christie is your spirit animal. See, New Jersey already passed isself a bill that would make it a tiny bit less hard to get edible marijuana for your child's horrible illness, but Chris Christie is not sure that he will sign it because he just changed his Facebook status on medicinal weed to It's Complicated:

"As CNN reported last year, a non-psychoactive form of marijuana was used to help treat a 6-year-old suffering from the same condition as [Brian] Wilson's daughter. The child's parents said the drug helped curb his seizures.

“'These are complicated issues,'” Christie said in response to Wilson's plea.

“'Very simple issue,'” Wilson replied.

“'No, I know you think it’s simple… I know you think it’s simple and it’s not,'” the governor responded."

Helping kids not have debilitating seizures is not simple you guys. If you stop little Janey from having a seizure by letting her eat some pot brownies, there's just no telling WHAT could happen:

"'I'm very concerned, if we go down this slope of allowing minors to use this, where does it end?' Christie said."

Yes, once that kid stops having terrible seizures, the next stop is China White heroin straight into a vein. Tiny child hands are so adept at shooting up! Thanks, Chris Christie, for protecting New Jersey from the scourge of pint-sized Keith Richards roaming the streets.
